The standard locomotive of the series 50 was one of the most successful designs of the DRG. By 1943, 3164 of this mixed-traffic locomotive were built. They were also used on branchlines thanks to the low axle load. The FLEISCHMANN model shows the locomotive in the typical Epoch II version with dual headlights, boiler with four domes, Wagner smoke deflectors and 2'2 'T 26 trailing tender.
