Brawa 70098 H0 Steam locomotive 02 003, DRG, Era II: A masterpiece of model railroad engineering

The Brawa 70098 H0 steam locomotive 02 003 is an exclusive replica of the legendary express locomotive of the German State Railroad Company (DRG) from Era II. With its impressive attention to detail and numerous technical refinements, this model sets new standards for demanding model railroaders.

Historical role model: The DRG class 02

The class 02 was developed in the 1920s as a four-cylinder compound locomotive in order to compare its performance with that of the two-cylinder class 01. A total of ten units of this series were built. The locomotive 02 003 was one of these machines and was assigned to the Erfurt Railway Directorate, Erfurt P depot. Despite their impressive performance, the complex technology proved to be maintenance-intensive, which is why the locomotives were later converted into the 01 series. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
