Fleischmann 7160040 N Steam Locomotive Class 62 005 DB Era III

Are you looking for a classic steam locomotive for your N-gauge model railroad layout that authentically reflects passenger service on the Deutsche Bundesbahn in the 1950s? The Fleischmann 7160040 DB Class 62 005 steam locomotive captivates with its distinctive design, Witte air deflectors, and 1954–55 operational configuration.

As an Era III model, the locomotive evokes the final years of service for this extraordinary class of tender locomotives. With its striking appearance, the BR 62 005 is ideal for historic passenger trains and makes an interesting addition for enthusiasts of the early Bundesbahn era.

Fleischmann BR 62 005 – Classic Tender Steam Locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn

The Class 62 was one of the most distinctive tender steam locomotives in German railway history. These powerful machines were intended for passenger service on main lines and were distinguished by their characteristic design.

In the early 1950s, the Deutsche Bundesbahn consolidated all six Class 62 steam locomotives at the Krefeld depot. From there, the locomotives were used in passenger service on main lines until they were taken out of service.

Locomotive 62 005 thus represents an interesting phase in German railway history, when steam locomotives were still an important part of daily passenger service.

Prototype-accurate design with Witte deflector plates

The Fleischmann model depicts the BR 62 005 as it appeared in service in 1954–55. Particularly distinctive are the Witte wind deflectors, which define the locomotive’s appearance.

This classic tender locomotive fits perfectly into model railroad layouts of Era III. Whether on a main line, entering a station, or leading a historic passenger train set—the BR 62 005 brings an authentic Bundesbahn atmosphere to your N-gauge layout.

Analog Steam Locomotive with Flywheel

The Fleischmann 7160040 is designed for the analog DC system. The three-pole motor with flywheel ensures smooth operation and provides pleasant running characteristics on the model railroad layout.

Three powered axles provide propulsion. One axle is equipped with traction tires and enhances the locomotive’s pulling power.

The two-light headlight is present at both ends of the locomotive and illuminates regardless of the direction of travel. The locomotive also features NEM 355 coupling sockets without close-coupling kinematics.

With a length over buffers of 107 mm and a minimum running radius of 192 mm, the BR 62 005 is also suitable for more compact N-gauge model railroad layouts.

Matching passenger trains for Era III

The Fleischmann BR 62 005 pairs particularly well with historic passenger cars from the Deutsche Bundesbahn. This allows you to recreate the typical passenger train service around Krefeld in the 1950s on your model railroad layout.

The Fleischmann car sets 6260114 and 6260115, “Krefeld Passenger Train,” are the perfect complement. Together with the steam locomotive, they allow you to create an authentic train formation as it operated in 1954–55.
