BR71 N XL L M4

The six samples of 2-4-2 locos of BR 71 were ordered by Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG in 1934 to replace railcars in light passenger service. The locos developed 570 HP and reached a maximum speed of 90 km/h. DB scrapped its remaining units in 1956.

BR76 pr. T10-KPEV-DRG N XL L M4

To speed up express trains on the relatively short 41 km route between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, the Prussian state railway KPEV had a new, powerful tank locomotive developed. The engineer responsible, Robert Garbe, decided to marry the slightly shortened chassis of the P8 (later BR 38.10-40) with the boiler of the P6 (BR 37.0-1) and thus created the T10. The twelve samples of the 880 hp, 100 km/h two-cylinder locomotive proved to be up to the task and were in service with the KPEV and DRG for more…

BR86 DRG/DB/DR N XL L M4

The DRG's standard locomotive program called for the Class 86 for mixed service on branch lines. With an output of 1030 hp and a top speed of 70 km/h with an axle load of only 15.6 t, the 86 replaced many series that dated back to the state railway era. From the factory, 86 293-296 and all other locomotives from locomotive number 86 336 onwards were equipped with Krauss-Helmholtz frames for the leading and trailing axles, which meant that the maximum speed could be increased to 80 km/h. By more…

BR89 /pr.T3 N XL L M4

Under the series designation T3, the Royal Prussian State Railroad KPEV combined a whole series of triple-coupled, slightly different freight locomotives. From 1882 about 1550 copies were made, some of which were also delivered to private railways that were later nationalized. The 290 PS strong and 40 km/h fast two-cylinder wet steam locomotives were popular due to their undemanding nature and managed the entire operation on many branch lines. After the maximum speed was no longer sufficient more…

BR93 pr. T14 N XL L M4

In 1914, the Prussian state railway KPEV ordered the first four-coupled T14 tank locomotive for heavy passenger and freight trains in local areas from Union in Königsberg. The 1000 hp four-coupler, equipped with a leading and trailing axle, was approved for 65 km/h. Although the locomotives suffered, for example, from the unequal load distribution on the drive axles, the railway company still purchased 547 units by 1918. More than 100 of these had to be handed over as reparations after the more…

BR94.5 pr.T16.1 N XL L M4

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. Some locos received a Riggenbach-brake for the use on very steep grades.

BR98.10 N XL L M4

Deutsche Bundesbahn

All 45 98.10 locomotives were recovered after 1945 by the Deutsche Bundesbahn, and continued to be used exclusively in their native Bavaria. Though the locomotives were initially indispensable, they were put out to pasture after the advent of the "Roter Brummer" rail bus, especially those used in passenger train service. Many of the locomotives were still used after this time, in freight service especially. DB did not make any more major changes or improvements; in the late more…

BR98.3 PtL 2/2 Glaskasten N XL L M4

In the early 1900s, the Royal Bavarian State Railways wanted to rationalize operations on its less busy local railway lines by purchasing small locomotives suitable for one-man operation. The most successful was the PtL2/2 design submitted by Krauss, with 29 units built, which was popularly known as the Glaskasterl (Glass Box) due to its large driver's cab. Krauss delivered three locomotives to the Prussian KPEV also. Two further series of 13 units followed with identical boiler and cylinders, more…

Class 66/77 / EMD JT42CWR N XL L M4

Mit der im Jahr 2001 festgelegten Liberalisierung des internationalen Eisenbahngüterverkehrs benötigten die neu gegründeten Eisenbahnverkehrsunternehmen (EVU) Triebfahrzeuge, um die den staatlichen Bahnen abgerungenen Verkehre zu bewältigen. Die Beschaffung technisch hochentwickelter Neufahrzeuge kam aus Kostengründen oftmals nicht in Frage. Eine preisgünstige Lösung bot die amerikanische Electro-Motive Division (EMD) mit der bereits in Großbritannien erprobten Class 66 an. Die als JT 42 CWR more…
