From 1911 onwards, Krauss delivered 117 examples of the GtL 4/4 two-cylinder local railway locomotive in several series to the Bavarian State Railways. The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG received the last 17 in 1927 and grouped them as the 98.8 series. With an output of 450 hp, the four-couplers were the most powerful Bavarian local railway machines. The DRG only considered the top speed of 40 km/h to be in need of improvement and equipped the most recently delivered locomotives with a more…
ETAT 231 981-996, SNCF LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
After the First World War, the French ETAT received 16 examples of the Bavarian express train locomotive type S3/6. The four-cylinder locomotives were classified as 3-231 A981-996. The three-coupled locomotives, which had 1770 hp and could reach speeds of 120 km/h, were used in the south-west of France and proved very effective on express and passenger trains. During the Second World War, the German occupying forces drove the locomotives to southern Germany and returned them to scrap after the more…
BR98.10 ex. GtL 4/5 DRG LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
Between 1929 and 1932, Krauss delivered 45 samples of the type 98.10 two-cylinder local railway locomotive to Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG on behalf of the Bavarian group administration. The locomotives, which largely corresponded technically to the 98.8 (GtL 4/4) delivered from 1923 onwards, were given a trailing axle to increase the top speed and improve the driving characteristics. With an output of 450 hp, the four-couplers were the most powerful Bavarian local railway machines. more…
BR98.3 PtL 2/2 Glaskasten LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
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…
BR 03 DRG LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
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…
BR 52 Kondenstender DRB LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
From 1942 the class 52 was derived from the light but powerful class 50 goods train tender locomotive developed from 1937 and mass-produced from 1939. Despite numerous simplifications, the war locomotive with 1640 hp had the same performance as the 50 and also reached 80 km/h when driving forwards. Initially, smoke deflectors were also dispensed with, but after a short time smaller Witte plates were retrofitted compared to the 50. So that the locomotives could withstand the winter in the more…
BR 44 Oel LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
BR 44 had been the most successful steam loco for heavy freight trains at the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG). Between 1926 an end of WWII 1989 units of the 3 cylindred 2-10 had been built. They developed 1919 HP and reached a maximum speed of 80 km/h. In the 1950s Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) and Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) rebuilt 36 (DB) and 95 (DR) with oil firing equipment.
BR86 DRG/DB/DR LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
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…
BR 58 / pr. G12 LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
With the five-way coupled G12, the Prussian KPEV developed the first largely standardized steam locomotive series. The 1540 hp and 65 km/h three-cylinder locomotives were delivered from 1917. Because of its good operating characteristics, the Baden (98 units), Saxon (42) and Württemberg state railways (43) also procured the G12. After the Second World War, the majority of the machines, now designated as BR 58.2-21, remained in what was later to become the GDR. The fact that the locomotives had more…
BR 95 DRG/DR/DB pr.T20 LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
For service on steep grades prussian state railway (KPEV) ordered 45 samples of 2-10-2 steam locos T20. Successor DRG re-numbered them for 95.0. The locos delivered 1620 HP and reach a maximum speed of 65 km/h. The powerful locos were used for short line passenger and freight service. After WW II 14 locos were used by DB till 1958. DR rebuilt 24 samples with oil firing equipment and used them till 1981.
