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 1949 the Deutsche Bundesbahn had ordered 105 locos of Class 23 steam locomotives to replace old-fashioned Prussian P8 locos. The 2 cylinder locos developed 1785 HP and reached a maximum speed of 110 km/h. They were used for passenger service, sometimes also for fast trains. Last 23 quitted service in 1975, but eight locos can be found at railroad museums in Germany and the Nederlands.

From 1913 onwards, the Bavarian State Railway purchased a total of 15 samples of the Gt 2x 4/4 Mallet tank locomotive to push heavy freight trains on the steep routes in the Franconian Forest and Thuringian Forest. Although the 1,470 hp eight-axle locomotives were considered the most powerful tank locomotives in Europe at the time, manufacturer Maffei was able to limit the maximum axle load to 15.5 t, which is why the powerful locomotives could even be used on branch lines. With various more…

In 1939 German Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG received 1st of more than 3100 samples of 2-10-0 two-cylinder steam loco BR 50. The loco developed 1625 HP and reached a maximum speed of 80 km/h. With its axle load of just 15,2 tons the locos were used even on branch lines with light weight rails. Locos of DB quitted service in 1977, the DR locos were used for ten more years.
BR 80 LokSound 5 European Sound files 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…

In 1939, Schwartzkopff delivered the model locomotive and the 55 series locomotives for the heavy express train service. The German Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft canceled the further orders because of the start of the war. The 2,120 hp three-cylinder locomotives all had streamlined cladding, which was partially dismantled during the course of the Second World War to simplify maintenance and due to lack of necessity. All 55 locomotives survived the war, but massive damage to the boilers soon became more…

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…
BR06 Einheitslok DRG LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
In order to be able to pull express trains more quickly in the hill country, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG was already planning the 06, which was equipped with four coupling axles, parallel to the commissioning of the first 05. The 06, which was also designed with three cylinders, had an output of 2,800 hp and reached a top speed of 140 km/h. According to contemporary reports, the tractive power of both locomotives delivered in 1939 was impressive, but damage to the boiler frequently more…
BR05 Einheitslok DRG DB LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
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…
BR24 Einheitslok DRG, DB, DR LokSound 5 European Sound files H0
The Einheitslok program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft DRG provided for the triple-coupled class 24 steam locomotive for light passenger train service over longer distances. A total of 95 examples of the 920 hp two-cylinder locomotive with a top speed of 90 km/h were procured from 1926. With an axle load of only 15 t, the 24 was initially used on main and branch lines in West and East Prussia, which earned it the nickname "Steppe horse". The DB shut down the last locomotive in 1966, more…
