Lenz 40258-01 0 Dampflok BR 55 3788, DB, Ep. III

Heavy freight train power in gauge 0 - DB class 55 3788 steam locomotive

The BR 55 3788 steam locomotive is a prime example of the powerful freight locomotives of the German Federal Railroad in Era III. Originally developed from Prussian designs, the BR 55 proved itself over decades in heavy shunting and mainline service. As part of a new, small edition, this model is now returning to the model railway layout - with revised technology and an attractive price due to the elimination of tooling costs. Models that have already been pre-ordered will also benefit from this reduction.

Technical data and features at a glance

True to scale in 0 gauge

As a model in 0 gauge, the BR 55 3788 impresses with a length over buffers of 407 mm. The locomotive is assigned to Era III and has the typical design of the German Federal Railroad. Its solid construction and authentic detailing make it an eye-catcher on any layout with a historical focus.

Lighting and interior fittings

Harmonious interior and driver's cab lighting as well as constant light with direction-dependent changes ensure an atmospheric display during operation. The locomotive is equipped with close-coupling kinematics, which means that wagons can be coupled realistically and reliably.

Modern technology for classic steam power

Four powered axles, robust metal wheelsets and spring buffers give the model very smooth running and tractive power. Thanks to digital/analog recognition and RailCom technology, the locomotive is optimally prepared for modern layouts. The integrated sound brings realistic steam locomotive noises to the tracks. A remote-controlled coupler is available for additional operating options, and a screw-on coupler can be retrofitted.

Prototype with history - The BR 55 in DB service

The BR 55 was one of the backbones of freight traffic in the early post-war period. Its design made it particularly reliable for heavy loads and operations on branch lines. Locomotive 3788 is a typical example of this class and represents the transition period from the steam to the diesel era. With this new edition, you can bring a piece of railroad history directly to your model railway layout.
