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 specifically designed for use on branch lines and could haul both passenger and freight trains.

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

With the introduction of the computer-compatible numbering system in 1968, Class 64 was redesignated as 064 by the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The 064 305-6 locomotive thus represents Era IV and the final years of service for these proven tender steam locomotives.

Prototype-accurate design with welded water tanks

A special feature of the Fleischmann 7170042 is its reproduction of the version with welded water tanks. This design defines the appearance of the compact tender locomotive and makes the model an interesting addition for enthusiasts of classic Bundesbahn steam locomotives.

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

Factory-installed DCC digital decoder and reliable drive technology

The Fleischmann 7170042 comes factory-equipped with a permanently soldered-in DCC digital decoder. This allows the steam locomotive to be used directly on a compatible DCC digital layout without the need to retrofit a decoder first.

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

The three-light headlight at the front is switchable in digital mode and adds to the locomotive’s authentic appearance on the model railroad layout.

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

Ideal for historical passenger and freight trains of Era IV

The Fleischmann BR 064 305-6 pairs particularly well with contemporary passenger 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 a short passenger train on a rural route, a small freight train, or shunting operations in the station area—this versatile tender steam locomotive is suitable for a variety of operating situations.

The digitally equipped BR 064 305-6 is also an interesting addition for collectors of historic Deutsche Bundesbahn locomotives. The version with welded water tanks, in particular, underscores the unique character of this model.
