The H0e steam locomotive 99 651 is a highlight for fans of German railroad history and Era III. This model is a faithful reproduction of the famous five-coupler steam locomotives that worked tirelessly on the Württemberg narrow gauge railroads. With modern digital technology, fascinating sound and authentic design elements, this locomotive brings the golden era of railroad traffic directly to your model railway layout.

The prototype: The 99 651 steam locomotive on the Württemberg narrow gauge railways

The 99 651 is a classic five-coupler steam locomotive that played a central role on the Württemberg narrow gauge railroads in particular. These robust locomotives were developed for the transportation of freight and passenger trains on narrow-gauge lines, which often led through tight curves and hilly landscapes. In Era III, the 1950s and 1960s, these locomotives were indispensable before they were gradually replaced by diesel locomotives such as the V51.

The 99 651 was built specifically for the requirements of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) and was characterized by its reliability and high performance. Until the decline of many lines at the end of the 1960s, these locomotives were the backbone of operation on the narrow-gauge railroads in Württemberg.

Era III: A formative time in rail transportation

Era III, which lasted from around 1945 to 1970, is considered one of the most interesting periods in the history of the railroads. It was a phase of reconstruction and technical progress in which steam locomotives continued to play an important role. The 99 651 perfectly reflects this era, both through its technical construction and its design. The 99 651 is an ideal choice, especially for model railroaders who design their layout based on models from this era.
