Fleischmann 7170040 N Steam Locomotive Class 62 005 DB Era III DCC

Are you looking for a classic steam locomotive for your N-gauge model railroad layout that combines the passenger service of the Deutsche Bundesbahn in the 1950s with modern digital technology? The Fleischmann 7170040 DB Class 62 005 steam locomotive impresses with its distinctive design, Witte air deflectors, and a factory-installed DCC digital decoder.

This Era III model depicts the locomotive as it appeared in service in 1954–55 and commemorates the final years of operation for this distinctive class of tender steam locomotives. With its striking appearance, the BR 62 005 is ideal for historic passenger trains and is an attractive addition for enthusiasts of the early Bundesbahn era.

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

The Class 62 is one of the most interesting 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 concentrated all six steam locomotives of this class at the Krefeld depot. From there, they were deployed on mainline passenger service until they were taken out of service.

The BR 62 005 thus represents a special phase in German railway history, when steam locomotives were still regularly in service pulling passenger trains and shaped the appearance of many stations and routes.

Prototype-accurate design with Witte wind deflectors

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

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

DCC Digital Decoder and Proven Drive Technology

The Fleischmann 7170040 comes factory-equipped with a permanently soldered-in DCC digital decoder. This allows the locomotive to be used directly on a compatible DCC digital layout.

Power is provided by a three-pole motor with a flywheel, which ensures smooth operation. Three powered axles provide propulsion, while one axle is equipped with traction tires to provide additional traction.

The two-light headlight changes depending on the direction of travel, enhancing the realistic appearance during model railroad operation.

The locomotive features NEM 355 coupler sockets without close-coupling kinematics. With a length over buffers of 107 mm and a minimum negotiable curve radius of 192 mm, the BR 62 005 is also suitable for more compact N-gauge model railroad layouts.

Ideal locomotive for historic passenger trains of Era III

The Fleischmann BR 62 005 pairs particularly well with contemporary 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 an excellent addition. These reflect the operational conditions of 1954–55 and, together with the steam locomotive, enable an authentic historical train formation.

The digitally equipped BR 62 005 is also an interesting addition for collectors of classic Bundesbahn steam locomotives.
