With a length over buffers (LüP) of 275.3 mm, the locomotive is ideal for use on H0 layouts and impresses with its outstanding workmanship and innovative technology.

The prototype of the Brawa 70066: The class 01 of the German Federal Railroad

The class 01 is one of the best-known steam locomotives of the German Federal Railroad. In order to meet the increasing requirements in operation, the DB equipped a total of 50 locomotives of this series with a new high-performance boiler from 1958. This type of boiler, designed according to the principles of Friedrich Witte, was installed for the first time on locomotives of the 01.10 series and brought significant improvements in efficiency and performance.

The locomotives with the new boiler were able to achieve the same performance as their predecessors with significantly lower fuel consumption. Visually, the locomotives looked more modern and tidier after the conversion. The clear lines, the wider circulation and the elimination of the sandbox at the top of the boiler gave the locomotive a more contemporary look. The type 57 mixing preheater system was installed and some locomotives, including 001 199-9, were given further modernizations such as roller bearings in the driving and coupling rods.

The modernized locomotives were used alongside the old boiler locomotives until 1973. With the discontinuation of steam locomotive operation in the Hof depot, the use of these impressive machines at DB ended.
