Product Features and Details
Prototype: Freight Train Steam Locomotive with a Tender Class 41. Old style version of the German Federal Railroad (DB), with Witte smoke deflectors, old boilers, unit box-style tender 2'2'T34, DB reflex glass lamps, inductive magnets on one side and buffer plate warning strip. Operation number 41 178 Did around 1965.
Model: Digital decoder with extensive sound functions. Controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel in the boiler. 4 axles powered. Traction tires. The locomotive and tender are constructed mostly of metal. Suitable for smoke generator 7226th Ride The triple headlights and the smoke generator contact will work in conventional operation, digitally. The headlights are maintenance-free warm white light emitting diodes (LED). Adjusted for curves close coupling with a guide mechanism between the locomotive and tender. Back of the tender and the front of the locomotive has a close coupler with NEM. Minimum radius 360 mm. Piston rod protection sleeves and brake hoses are included. Length over the buffers approximately 27.5 cm.
Highlight: redesign of the Series 41 in the old version. Especially fine metal construction. Partially open bar frame and many separately applied details. High-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel in the boiler. A variety of operating and sound functions that can be controlled digitally. BR 41 DB old boiler. The fast moving freight locomotive series 41 belongs to the late developments in Einheitslokprogramm the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DRG). Various components identical to those developed about the same time series 06 and 45 Together with them was the design feature of the Series 41: Your axle load could also optionally t to 18 or 20 t be adjusted to ensure a permissive use. The chassis was a new development, the boiler type, however, the same as for the series 03 Only needed for the locomotives because of the higher boiler pressure of 20 bar, the boiler building materials St47K be used. As early as 1936 provided the Berliner Maschinenbau AG, formerly Louis Schwartzkopff, the two prototypes 41 001 and 002, which were first tested extensively. They were followed from 1938 with some changes in design 364 series machines, which were supplied by almost all German locomotive builders to 1941. 70 additional, already ordered locomotives canceled the DRG because of the Second World War in favor of the transition of war and war locomotives. As with other machines also showed the St47K boiler of BR 41 after a few years of fatigue, since the boiler building material was not resistant to aging and sweat was brittle. Therefore, the boiler pressure was reduced to 16 bar from the fall of 1941 initially. Moreover, the DRG procured 1943/44, a total of 40 replacement boiler, made ??of the much more stable boiler building material St34. After the Second World War remained 220 locomotives of DB and 124 at Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) of the GDR. As both national railways could not waive the 41 series, numerous machines were fitted with new boilers. In the DB 102 engines were rebuilt, they were welded high efficiency boiler with combustion chamber 40 machines also an oil firing. For the non-converted machine the boiler damage could be kept within limits and meanwhile significantly improved welding techniques also largely resolved by maintaining the lowered boiler pressure. The old boiler-41mm were largely phased out in the 1960s, and only a few locomotives experienced in 1968 nor the EDP needs re-drawing in the series 041 The last machines were in September 1970, 041 253 and 334 parked at Bw Cologne Eifeltor and 27 . Retired in November 1970
