Class 44 - the backbone of the DR freight trains

After the Second World War, the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over many class 44 locomotives and converted them to oil firing. These locomotives formed the backbone of heavy freight train operations in the GDR. They were also known as "jumbos" due to their enormous tractive power. Locomotive 44 0104-8 was stationed in the Saalfeld depot under the Erfurt station and was used until 1986.

Prototypical model with numerous details

Fleischmann has produced this locomotive in typical DR design: with high-set cowl plates, smokebox door with central locking, pumps at the front and fine printing. The central driving axle is fitted with reduced wheel flanges, which ensures better running characteristics. Particularly noteworthy is the clear view between the boiler and the running gear, which emphasizes the filigree appearance.

Technology for analogue operation - can be digitized

The locomotive has a 3-pole motor, two driven axles, two traction tires and is equipped with a Next18 interface for subsequent digitization. The LED headlights change depending on the direction of travel. Coupling is via NEM 355 with close-coupling kinematics and sliding guide between locomotive and tender.
