The prototype: The Saxon VI K - a powerhouse on narrow gauge tracks

The Saxon VI K, also known as class 99.713, was one of the most powerful narrow-gauge steam locomotives of its time. From 1918, the VI K was put into operation by the Saxon State Railway, later the German Reichsbahn (DR) took over the locomotives. The VI K proved its worth in freight and passenger traffic on the often winding and steep routes of the narrow-gauge railroads in Saxony. The locomotive was technically improved and adapted to modern requirements through conversions and reconstructions, as shown on the model.

German Reichsbahn (DR) in Era III: An era of reconstructions

Era III (1945-1970) was characterized by the reconstruction and modernization of the railroad after the Second World War. During this time, the Deutsche Reichsbahn focused increasingly on the further development and reconstruction of existing vehicles. The VI K Reko, as represented by the model, received welded water boxes and technical modifications that improved its performance and efficiency. This era is particularly popular with model railroaders as it represents the transition from classic steam technology to modern locomotive technology.

Technical details of the Modellbau Veit 41061 TTe steam locomotive

The model of the VI K Reko is equipped with a powerful bell-shaped armature motor with flywheel, which ensures smooth and even running. The locomotive has a solderable 6-pin interface that allows the installation of a decoder. A sound decoder measuring 4 x 7.8 x 25 mm and a loudspeaker (11 x 15 x 9 mm) can be installed as an option to further enhance the model and create an authentic driving experience.

The locomotive is designed for operation with 12 V direct current (DC) and has a minimum radius of 195 mm, making it suitable for smaller narrow-gauge layouts. Modellbau Veit's own coupling system ensures a secure connection with other vehicles.

Material quality and detailing

The VI K Reko impresses with its outstanding choice of materials: The body is made of white metal, brass investment casting and nickel silver etched parts, which allows for precise and durable construction. The chassis frame and wheels are made of robust plastic, which ensures stability without increasing the overall weight of the locomotive. This combination of high-quality materials ensures a high level of detail and a long service life.

Authentic replica with welded water boxes and classic roof

Particular attention has been paid to the accurate reproduction of the welded water boxes and the typical old roof. These features are characteristic of the reconstructed versions of the VI K and have been faithfully reproduced by Modellbau Veit. The fine engravings, replicas of the pipes and the detailing of the boiler give the locomotive its authentic appearance.

Expansion options: Digital and sound

The model is analog as standard, but can easily be converted to digital operation using the solderable 6-pin interface. The optional installation of a sound decoder and a loudspeaker enables a realistic driving experience with authentic steam locomotive sounds. This makes the model particularly attractive for model railroaders who value an immersive sound experience.

Compatibility and operation

The VI K Reko is designed for the TTe gauge, which represents the Saxon narrow-gauge railroads on a scale of 1:120. With a minimum radius of 195 mm, the locomotive can also be used on compact layouts. The power system is based on 2-wire direct current (DC), which makes it compatible with most common model railroad systems.
