The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft had the class 03 developed to supplement the heavy express train locomotive 01, which was designed for operation on well-developed main lines. Between 1930 and 1937, 298 examples of the 1980 hp two-cylinder locomotive with a top speed of 130 km/h were built. In front of light and medium-heavy passenger trains, the three-couplers impressed with their good driving characteristics, but in many DB departments in the 1950s the travel times of the express trains more…

In order to have greater speed reserves when pulling express trains in the 1930s, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG had the 03.10 developed with streamlined cladding. The acoustics of the 03.10 differ significantly from the two-cylinder standard locomotives of the class 03 with their three-cylinder engine. 45 copies of the 140 km/h fast racer survived World War II. Some of the locomotives were given new replacement boilers, the ones that had not been converted were eliminated until 1957.

In 1959 German DR equipped 16 samples of three-cylinder steam loco 03.10 with new boilers similar to classes 22 and 41. The so-called Reko-03.10 developed 2350 HP and reached a maximum speed of 140 km/h. After receiving oil firing equipment the performance improved again, so the Reko 03.10 stayed in service till 1980. British railfans nick-named museum loco 03 1010 the “roaring monster”.

Due to the lack of heavy express train steam locomotives of the 01 series, the 03, which was less suitable for these services, had to step in in the 1950s and 1960s. Since the locomotives were still quite new in the 1950s and in good general condition, the DR decided not to reconstruct them. However, after the very new boilers of the 22 decommissioned (reconstructed BR 39, ex. pr. P10) were available from 1969, 52 old building 03s were equipped with these Reko boilers. At this point, the DR's more…
E03 / BR 103 LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
In 1965 German Deutsche Bundesbahn developed a six axle electric loco for fast passenger service. The unique design made the E03 (later 103) for the most famous German electric loco. All sample of the three designs reached a maximum speed of 200 km/h. Although they were developed only for light trains the 103 succeeded in heavy intercity service for more than 30 years.Engineer/driver mode:

ICE 3 - BR403 LokSound 5 European Sound files
For high-speed passenger service the German DB AG ordered 50 units of electric trains ICE 3. Delivery started in 1999. Four of the eight cars are motor cars that develop 8000 kW in complete. The ICE 3 reach a maximum speed of 330 km/h. The mono-system trains are numbered Class 403. For cross border service in Belgium, France and the Netherlands another 17 units of four-system train of Class 406.

In the early days of the Deutsche Bundesbahn DB, the 03.10, which had been freed from the streamlining, were heavily used in express train service, which revealed the boiler's weaknesses. In order to remedy these deficiencies, the DB equipped a total of 25 units with new replacement boilers from 1957, which had proven themselves in the 41 series. With an output of 1870 hp and a top speed of 140 km/h, the locomotives from Hagen mainly pulled express trains. Since the locomotives were very more…

In contrast to the 05 001 and 002, which were equipped with hard coal firing, the third locomotive of the series was ordered from Borsig in 1937 with a front driver's cab for a better view of the track. This involved coupling the locomotive with the smokebox end to the tender and equipping it with a coal dust firing system of the AEG type. The tests with the locomotive were less than satisfactory and so the DRG converted the machine into a conventional steam locomotive with hard coal firing and more…

In 1935, Borsig developed the 2'C2' engines 05 001 and 002, which were equipped with streamlined cladding, for the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG) to pull light express trains at speeds of over 140 km/h. A third locomotive was given an enclosed driver's cab and was coupled to the tender at the smokebox end. The three-cylinder engine developed 2360 hp and accelerated the racers to 175 km/h. During test runs, 05 002 reached 200.4 km/h with a 197-ton test train, making it the fastest German more…

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.
