BR 80 Ep-VI / DR Ep-IV  LokSound 5 factory equipped sounds N XL L M4

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…

Universal Schmalspur  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Most narrow-gauge railways were built and, at least initially, operated by private companies. The state railways usually coded the track gauge in the class designation, and sometimes also the wheel arrangement. The operating number was generally assigned consecutively. With the integration of many railways into the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), the class designations, which consisted of letters and numbers (e.g., Tssd, IV k, or Gts 2x 3/3), were standardized and only numbers were more…

Universal 3 Zylinder  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4


The first German three-cylinder steam locomotive to be built in large numbers was the Prussian S10.2 (BR 17) in 1914. Among the reasons given were its lower weight compared to the four-cylinder S10.1 and its favorable starting characteristics. The latter also played a role in the choice of a three-cylinder drive for the Prussian P10 (BR 39) passenger locomotive and the G12 (BR 58) freight locomotive. A disadvantage compared to the two-cylinder locomotives was the more difficult maintenance due more…

Universal 2 Zylinder  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Two-cylinder locomotives were considered easier to drive and relatively undemanding compared to three- or four-cylinder locomotives. Huge numbers of the standard freight train class 50 and the war locomotive 52, which was developed from it, were built, with more than 3,000 and more than 6,200 examples, respectively, running in almost all neighboring countries. It is therefore no surprise that the most-produced tank locomotives, by far the most produced, were the class 64 (520 units) and 86 (774 more…

BR 99.51-60 / Sächsische IV  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

Between 1892 and 1921, the Saxon State Railway acquired a total of 96 examples of the IV k articulated locomotive in several series for its 750 mm narrow-gauge lines. Fifty-seven examples were transferred to the German Reichsbahn (DR) after the Second World War. High-pressure and low-pressure engines were each housed in a separate bogie and accelerated the articulated locomotive to 30 km/h. In 1970, 33 examples of the series, now known as the 99.51-60, were still in the DR fleet; DB AG acquired more…

BR65.10  LokSound 5 European Sound files N XL L M4

The new locomotive program of the Deutsche Reichsbahn DR after WW II contained a tank locomotive with a drive wheel diameter of 1,600 mm and a top speed of 90 km/h. The 88 1'D2 'tank locomotives designed for commuter train service had an axle load of 18 t. The well-dimensioned boiler and the carefully developed engine provided practical pulling power and good acceleration. Since the DR converted various branch lines to an axle load of 20 t, various 65.10 were equipped with a compressed air bell more…

2-8-2 Heavy Mikado  LokSound 5 North American and Australian Sound files N XL L M4

The 2-8-2 wheel configuration on steam locomotives was one of the most highly used configurations made. This type of locomotive with 2 pilot wheels, 8 drive wheels, and 2 trailing wheels to support a larger firebox was first built for the Emperor of Japan, thus the name Mikado type. The first Mikado built for service in the US was built in 1901 and was owed by the Bismarck, Washburn and Great Falls until 1904 when it was acquired by the Soo Line.

The USRA Heavy Mikado was a USRA standard class more…
