Historical role model: The 01 class of the German Federal Railroad

The class 01 was the first standardized express train locomotive of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and set new standards in express train traffic. The locomotive with the road number 01 100 was used by the German Federal Railroad in the 1950s and was known for its reliability and performance. It pulled prestigious trains such as the E 230 express train, which carried passengers from Dortmund to Cologne, passing through important cities in the Ruhr region.

The manufacturer Brawa: precision and passion in model making

Brawa has been synonymous with high-quality model trains and accessories for decades. With great care and attention to detail, Brawa produces models that are both visually and technically impressive. The 01 100 steam locomotive in H0 is another example of the company's commitment to authentically reproducing historical railroad vehicles while meeting the highest quality standards.

Detailed design and technical finesse

The model of the 01 100 impresses with numerous finely detailed plastic components for the boiler, driver's cab and tender. The openwork ingot frame and the spoked wheels made of die-cast zinc underline the high-quality workmanship. The lighting is designed in keeping with the era and the driver's cab is illuminated for a realistic representation. The faithful reproduction of the rear wall of the standing boiler as well as the individually attached steps and steps are evidence of the attention to detail. The drive in the tender ensures optimum running characteristics, supported by the single axle bearing in metal and the true-to-scale wheelbase. Filigree metal driving and coupling rods round off the authentic appearance.

Technical data and equipment

The locomotive has a length over buffers of 275.3 mm and is designed for a minimum radius of 360 mm, whereby a radius of 420 mm or more is recommended for optimum running characteristics. It is equipped with a PluX22 interface and has four traction tires as well as a built-in flywheel for smooth running. The light changes as a three-light headlamp signal alternating in the direction of travel. The interior lighting is built in and the locomotive is prepared for the installation of a Seuthe No. 20 smoke generator. A sound decoder is prepared and can be retrofitted.

Era III: The heyday of steam locomotives

Era III covers the period from 1945 to 1970 and is considered the heyday of steam locomotives in Germany. Many technical innovations were introduced during this era and the railroad experienced a significant upswing. The 01 series played a central role in express train services and had a decisive influence on the image of the railroad during this period.

Conclusion: An indispensable model for discerning model railroaders

The Brawa 70100 H0 steam locomotive 01 100 is an outstanding model that impresses with its attention to detail and technical sophistication. It is an ideal addition to any model railroad layout depicting Era III and offers both collectors and operators an authentic and fascinating railroad experience.
