Fleischmann 7160042 N Steam Locomotive Class 064 305-6 DB Era IV

Are you looking for a classic tender steam locomotive for your N-gauge model railroad layout that authentically reflects the passenger and freight service of the Deutsche Bundesbahn on branch lines? The Fleischmann 7160042 DB Class 064 305-6 steam locomotive impresses with its distinctive design and true-to-prototype reproduction of the version with welded water tanks.

As an Era IV model, the locomotive evokes the final decades of regular steam operation on the Deutsche Bundesbahn. With its compact design, the BR 064 is ideal for historic branch lines, smaller stations, and a variety of passenger and freight trains.

Fleischmann BR 064 305-6 – Classic Tender Steam Locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn

The Class 64 was developed by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft starting in 1926. These versatile tender steam locomotives were intended for use on branch lines and could haul both passenger and freight trains.

After World War II, a total of 278 locomotives of this series remained in service with the Deutsche Bundesbahn. There, these robust machines performed numerous tasks in regional rail transport and were a familiar sight at smaller stations and on branch lines for many years.

With the introduction of the computer-compatible numbering system, Class 64 was redesignated Class 064 by the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The 064 305-6 locomotive thus represents steam locomotive operation during Era IV.

Prototype-accurate design with welded water tanks

A special feature of the Fleischmann 7160042 is its reproduction of the version with welded water tanks. This design defines the characteristic appearance of the tender locomotive and makes the model an interesting addition for enthusiasts of classic Bundesbahn steam locomotives.

The compact BR 064 fits perfectly into model railroad layouts with a branch line character. Whether pulling into a small station, leading a short passenger train, or hauling individual freight cars—the locomotive offers numerous possibilities for varied model railroad operation.

Analog Steam Locomotive with Flywheel

The Fleischmann 7160042 is designed for the analog DC system. A three-pole motor with a flywheel ensures smooth operation and provides pleasant running characteristics on the N-gauge model railroad layout.

Power is transmitted via three axles. One axle is equipped with traction tires to enhance the locomotive’s pulling power. The three-light headlight on the front complements its classic appearance during operation.

The locomotive features a NEM 355 coupler shaft without close-coupling kinematics. With a length over buffers of just 78 mm and a minimum operating radius of 192 mm, the BR 064 is also suitable for compact model railroad layouts with limited space.

Ideal for passenger and freight trains on branch lines

The Fleischmann BR 064 305-6 pairs particularly well with contemporary passenger cars and freight cars from the Deutsche Bundesbahn. This allows you to recreate the typical branch-line operations of Era IV on your layout.

Whether it’s short passenger trains between small rural stations, mixed freight trains, or shunting operations in the station area—this versatile tender steam locomotive offers interesting operational possibilities.

The BR 064 305-6, with its welded water tanks, is also an attractive addition for collectors of classic Bundesbahn steam locomotives.
