Description

Fleischmann class 70.0 DB steam locomotive

The class 70.0 was a tender locomotive for light passenger trains. It was commissioned by the Royal Bavarian State Railways as class Pt 2/3. Between 1909 and 1916, a total of 97 machines were built by Krauss in Munich. In order to optimize traffic on the local railroads, a door was installed at the rear through which the stoker could enter the train to take over the conductor's duties. The doors were later partially removed in favor of a larger coal box. Another characteristic feature of this locomotive was the unusually large distance of 4,000 mm between the driving and running axles. This resulted in an economical, but economically sensible lightweight construction of the machine, which proved to be extremely successful.After the Second World War, the DB took over 89 of the locomotives, which were capable of speeds of up to 65 km/h, and used them on southern German branch lines until the 1960s. The last locomotive was taken out of service in 1963.
