Steam locomotive series 39.0-2, DB

Steam locomotive series 39.0-2 of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB). Epoch IIIa.

The model in classic DB design of the Epoch IIIb has big Witte smoke deflectors, silver boiler rings and a Prussian tender type 2'2' T 31,5.

Furnished driver's cab. Motor with fly wheel. Drive on 8 wheels in tender. Two wheels have traction tyres. Dual headlights on each end of the locomotive that change with the direction of travel. Automatic coupling on each end of the locomotive.

If you want to compose a typical Bundesbahn fast train of the early epoch III, simply use former prussian fast train coaches.

Legendary are the missions of the locomotive P10 from Stuttgart which operated on the steep lines of the „Gäubahn” – from the state capital of Baden-Württemenberg to the cities of Hattingen/Singen. On a constantly ascending section into the City Centre, it gains around 200m in altitude until it finally arrived in Stuttgart-Vaihingen.
