Product Features and Details
Prototype: The serial production of this huge 3-cylinder freight train locomotive started in 1937. A total of 1753 engines of this type were produced for the Deutsche Reichsbahn. From 1958 on the Deutsche Bundesbahn retrofitted 36 engines to oil firing and coupled them with converted tenders of the type 2'2 'T34. After that, the machines, which were renumbered as of 043, were one of the strongest German steam locomotives. With 2100 hp and a pulling weight of up to 2400 t, their operations remain unforgotten, especially pulling the heavy ore trains in the Emsland. When the end of the steam service on DB was completed on October 26, 1977, the last oil-fueled "Jumbos" were also phased out. A few locomotives were delivered to the Reichsbahn as transition-warlocomotives with the trial of the 2'2'T34. These were used by the Deutsche Bundesbahn until the end of the 1960s.
