T9.3 pr. BR 91.3-18, 91.20  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In the 1890s, the Prussian state railway KPEV purchased two differently designed tank locomotives for mixed passenger and freight service. The experience gained with the two types, grouped together under the T9 series designation, resulted in the design of the 1’C locomotive T9.3 in 1900. More than 2,200 of the 440 hp two-cylinder wet steam locomotive were purchased. The frugal 65 km/h locomotive was satisfactory for branch line passenger and freight trains, but was also suitable for more…

BR 95 DRG/DR/DB pr.T20  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

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.

BR53-Kriegslok-DRG  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In 1943, the operational sites in the Wehrmacht-occupied areas in the east demanded more powerful steam locomotives for the supply freight trains. Borsig submitted the design of a (1’C)D h4 with an axle load of 20 t. Although the powerful locomotive was not released beyond the project stage, model railway manufacturers took the 53 in H0 and I gauge as a model. The sound comes from an original Mallet locomotive that is similar in terms of drive technology to BR 53.

BR76 pr. T10-KPEV-DRG  LokSound 5 European Sound files 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…

BR39 DB DR / Pr. P10 KPEV  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

For the heavy express train service in the hill country, the Prussian KPEV had a four-coupled three-cylinder locomotive developed instead of replicating the proven Saxon XX HV with four cylinders. Borsig's design was then implemented, although the required maximum axle load of 17 t was exceeded by almost 2 t, meaning the locomotive could only be used on a few routes. With its output of 1,620 hp, it reached a top speed of 110 km/h. When most of the main routes were upgraded for an axle load of more…

BR43 Einheitslok DRG DR  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

In order to determine the suitability of the different drives for heavy freight service, the German Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG included five-coupled tender locomotives with two and three cylinders in its standard locomotive program. In 1927, ten of each type were initially built. A further 35 of the 43 with two cylinders followed in 1928. In comparison, the two-cylinder locomotive proved to be equal to the three-cylinder locomotive known as the 44 series up to the medium power range more…

BR 111  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Electric loco 111 of Deutsche Bundesbahn DB was purchased for fast passenger service on main lines. The four traction motors develop 3620 kW and enable the loco to reach 160 km/h. For consist use with heavy Intercity trains some locos received new pantographs. Some years ago all of the locos were given to DB Regio for push-pull operation.

ICE 3 - BR403  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4


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.

BR 151  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

BR 151 For around 40 years the Class BR 151 represented the most important type for traction of fast and heavy freight trains for the State Railway of Federal Republic of Germany (DB). At the time of origin in the early 1970s the six axle loco were faster then any more more…

BR246 / BR285  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

The dieselelectric locos 246 (builder name Traxx P160 DE) and 285 (Traxx F140 DE) were developed out of the famous Traxx family of German Bombardier Transportation. Prime mover is a MTU 16 V 4000 R 43 L that develops 3263 HP. The eight samples of class 246 are used for double stack passenger trains and reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h. 15 samples of 285 (maximum speed 140 km/h) pull freight trains in Germany and are well known for traction of heavy weight carbonate trains on steep grades of more…
