Kuehn 31910 steam locomotive BR94.5, DR, Ep. III

Kuehn 31910 Steam locomotive BR94.5 of the DR - Era III

The Kuehn 31910 steam locomotive BR94.5 is an impressive 1:120 scale model (TT gauge) that faithfully reproduces the historic class 94.5 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Era III. With its striking, high and beveled coal box and the fine detailing with more than 230 individual parts, this model sets new standards for demanding model railroaders.

Historical background of the 94.5 class

The class 94.5 steam locomotives, originally known as the Prussian T 16.1, were built from 1913 and were mainly used in shunting and freight train services. They impressed with their robust construction and their special cornering ability, which predestined them for demanding routes and tight radii. In Era III, they were an integral part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) fleet and reliably coped with daily use. The high, slanted coal box not only gave the locomotive its typical appearance, but also offered a larger fuel capacity.

Manufacturer Kuehn Modellbahn: Precision and innovation

Kuehn Modellbahn GmbH is known for its high production quality and attention to detail. The model of the BR94.5 consists of over 230 individual parts, with the boiler manufactured using complex zinc die-casting technology. This construction method ensures that the locomotive is very heavy, which in turn enables excellent driving characteristics. Particularly noteworthy is the Next18 interface, which allows easy digitization and offers space for a rectangular loudspeaker. Thanks to the precise production and high-quality materials, the locomotive also meets the expectations of experienced model railroaders.

Era III: Railway history brought to life

Era III (1949-1970) was characterized by the division of Germany and the further development of the railroad networks in East and West Germany. The Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) used the BR94.5 primarily in shunting service and on lines with tight curves. The Kuehn model perfectly captures this era and allows model railroad enthusiasts to recreate a piece of railroad history on their TT layout.

Color scheme and design: Authentic implementation

The Kuehn 31910 BR94.5 steam locomotive impresses with its true-to-original color scheme and fine printing. The high, beveled coal box and the many specially attached parts ensure a realistic appearance. Even the smallest details, such as the prototypical worn wheels, have been implemented precisely, so that the model impresses both when stationary and when in operation.

Quality and accessories: Well thought-out equipment

The locomotive is designed for direct current (DC) and has a high weight thanks to the die-cast zinc boiler, which ensures smooth running and high tractive power. The NEM shaft with close-coupling kinematics allows flexible use on the model railroad layout. The model is designed for a minimum radius of 286 mm and impresses with its solid workmanship and high-quality packaging, which provides optimum protection for the model.

Conclusion: A must-have for every TT model railway layout

The Kuehn 31910 BR94.5 steam locomotive is the perfect choice for all model railroaders who value attention to detail, high-quality materials and outstanding driving characteristics. This model combines historical authenticity with modern model-making technology and is a real highlight on any TT layout.
