Prototype of the model: The BR 02 express steam locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The class 02 was an express steam locomotive with a four-cylinder compound engine developed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. Ten units were built between 1925 and 1926 to test its performance compared to the two-cylinder 01 series. Due to design deficiencies and higher maintenance costs, the advantages of compound technology could not be fully exploited. Between 1937 and 1942, all BR 02 locomotives were converted to the 01 series.
