ET423 S-Bahn DB AG, IGBT 
H0
As successors to the ET423 S-Bahn multiple units, DB AG procured a total of 462 four-car electric multiple units of the 423 series starting in 1998. Unlike their predecessors, which had two bogies per car, the 423 cars were supported by a Jakobs bogie at the transitions. The 2350 kW four-car units reached speeds of 140 km/h. The first 190 units were equipped with GTO converters, which were housed in a separate container under the vehicle floor. The 423s are used in the Rhine-Main, Cologne, more…

CR Class 812 H0
Between 1899 and 1900, the Scottish Caledonian Railway (CR) purchased a total of 79 Class 812 steam locomotives, designed by locomotive engineer John F. McIntosh. The steam locomotive was originally built for freight transport, but was also used for passenger service. In 1923, all the locomotives built were transferred to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) along with the CR. Most of the locomotives remained in active service until the late 1950s and were finally retired by 1963. The more…
BR Class 20 H0
From 1957, the British Rail BR procured a total of 228 units of the diesel-electric Class 20 for light freight train service. The supercharged eight-cylinder EE 8-CSVT engine from English Electric generated the energy for the four DC traction motors. The top speed of 120 km/h, which is still sufficient today, and good reliability are among the reasons why some of the locomotives are still in service today. Since the driver's cab was at one end of the locomotive and visibility was poor ahead of more…
BR 58.30 DR Umbaulok H0
With the five-coupled G12, the Prussian KPEV developed the first largely standardized steam locomotive series. These three-cylinder locomotives delivered 1540 HP and reached a maximum speed of 65 km/h and were delivered from 1917 onwards. After the Second World War, the majority of the locomotives, now designated Class 58.2-21, remained in what would later become the GDR. Since most of the more modern standard freight locomotives remained in the western occupation zones, the DR decided to more…
RhB G 4/5 H0
In the early 1900s narrow gauge railway RhB of Switzerland needed stronger locos. Swiss locomotive manufacturer SLM Winterthur built 29 samples of 2-4-0 locos G 4/5. The locos deliver 800 HP and reach a maximum speed of 45 km/h. After electrification of the whole rail net RhB sold or scrapped the locos except for two samples that rest in Switzerland for snow clearance duty or for railfan trains.
BR 78 / pr. T18 H0
In 1912 Prussian State Railway ordered the first of 462 samples of the 4-6-4 saddle tank loco T18. The two-cylinder loco developed 1140 HP and reached a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The locos were used for passenger trains on main and branch lines and stayed in service until 1974. SoundCV9 (CV163): train driver's dialogue (different languages selectable with value 0-1)
BR94.5 pr.T16.1 H0
Prussian T16.1 had been one of the most important steam locomotives for short freight and heavy switching duty. The two cylinder loco delivered 1070 HP and reached a maximum speed of 60 km/h. SoundCV9 (CV163): train driver's dialogue (different languages selectable with value 0-4) SoundCV10 (CV164): rail joints (4x different selectable with value 0-3) SoundCV11 (CV165): airpumps (different selectable with value 0-1) SoundCV15 (CV169): steam brake / riggenbach back pressure brake (selectable more…
BR 80 H0
In order to replace uneconomical old worn out locomotives in shunting service, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG also included a shunting locomotive with an axle load of 18 t in the Einheitslok program. From 1928 the DRG put 39 copies of the 575 hp three-coupler into service. After the Second World War, 21 machines remained with the DR and 17 locomotives with the DB. Despite convincing operating characteristics, the DB stopped its 80 until 1965, as the new V60s were available in more…
SR West Country Class (Un-R) H0
Oliver Bulleid designed SR West Country Class with an air-smoothed body that gives the 110 samples a distinctive look. The members of West Country class ran smoothly even at high speed but they consumed too much fuel. So BR decided to re-design many of the locos with a more conventional look even in the early 1960s. Many of the non-rebuilts survived in service until 1967. F14: engine driver dialogue selectable via CV168 value 0-4 (random/specific)
F27: rail clank (4 x different selectable via more…
