Brawa 40976 H0 steam locomotive 01 205, DR, Ep.III

Brawa 40976 H0 Steam locomotive 01 205, DR, Ep. III - A pre-series icon of express locomotives

With the Brawa 40976 steam locomotive 01 205, you can bring a real piece of railroad history of the Deutsche Reichsbahn to your H0 model railroad layout. The class 01 was not only the first standardized express train locomotive of the DRG, but also shaped the image of fast passenger trains in Germany for decades. The model shown here is one of the rare pre-series locomotives that differ in numerous design details from the later series machines - a must for technology enthusiasts and railroad historians.

Design & workmanship

The 01 205 steam locomotive from Brawa impresses with its finely detailed reproduction with individually attached steps and steps as well as a true-to-original standing boiler rear wall. The design of the driver's cab is typical of the pre-series locomotives - somewhat longer than on the later series machines. The openwork ingot frame and the filigree metal driving and coupling rods give the model a particularly realistic appearance. Spoked wheels made of die-cast zinc round off the authentic appearance.

Technical features & special functions

One highlight is the drive located in the tender, which ensures optimum weight distribution and excellent driving characteristics. The single-axle metal bearings ensure very smooth running. If required, the model can be equipped with a digital decoder via the integrated PluX22 interface - ideal for model railroaders looking for a flexible retrofit option.

Historical background

The 01 205 steam locomotive is one of the first ten examples of the class 01 that were delivered to the DRG by Borsig and AEG between 1926 and 1927. These pre-series locomotives were not yet fully standardized in their design and had numerous differences to the later series production version - including a longer driver's cab and a modified frame structure. Due to the insufficiently developed infrastructure at the time, these powerful locomotives could initially only be used on a few main lines.

Compatibility & expansion options

The model is designed for direct current operation and can be used on all H0 layouts with a minimum radius of 360 mm. Thanks to the standard shaft with close coupler link, the locomotive can be easily combined with matching Era III express train cars - ideal for historically correct train compositions.
