Trix 25027 DR BR02 0314-1 Steam Locomotive IV (DCC-Sound)

DETAILS

Prototype:

The steam locomotive road number 18 314 of the German State Railroad (DR) of East Germany (GDR) later nicknamed “Schorsch” has an unusual, even extraordinary life history. Once placed into service in 1919 as a Baden class “IV h” “High Stepper”, the DRG took over it as road number 18 314. After the end of World War II, this locomotive went to the Soviet Zone in trade for a Bavarian class S 3/6, where the subsequent VES-M Halle (Railroad Research and Development Locomotive Management Department in Halle) urgently needed a fast four-cylinder compound steam locomotive for experimental work.

In 1960, it was equipped with a “Reko” (rebuilt) boiler, partial streamlining, a new cab and tender, as well as a green paint scheme in order to run faster. Conversion to oil firing in 1967 was the icing on the cake. It was put into storage at the end of 1971 and was sold in 1984 to West Germany. Since 1986, it has been one of the showpieces at the Automotive and Technology Museum in Sinsheim. It is on permanent loan from the HEF (Frankfurt Historic Railroad).
