DRG Class BR 01 Steam Locomotive
Micro-Metakit  Class BR 01

The German BR 01 was the first German "Einheit" steam locomotive. In the early 1920's the DRG started the Einheit program. The Einheit concept was designed to cut costs on building locomotives because the idea was to be able to use parts for a variety of locomotives. This meant parts were interchangeable, which would reduce costs of maintenance and rebuilding steam locomotives. The 01's were used to haul fast express trains of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and Bundesbahn. With their two-meter high driving wheels and long boiler, they were very elegant and fast. They developed 1980 Hp and reached a top speed of 130 Km/h.

Micro-Metakit will produce six versions of the BR 01. Each Micro-Metakit BR 01 is handmade out of brass. They feature a brushless ironless "Faulhaber" motor, full cab interior, functional boiler hatch with inner boiler details. The BR 01 is a masterpiece and it features too many technical and optical details to list. Only a total of 300 will be produced, so some versions as little as only 20 will be made. These models are very limited so reserve one today. We expect to take delivery sometime in December 2001.
