This model impresses with its excellent workmanship, modern technology and many realistic functions such as sound and steam effects. It is a highlight for every model railroad layout and offers both collectors and model railroad fans an outstanding driving experience.
The class 62 steam locomotives were developed in the 1920s by the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG) as standard locomotives for mixed service. The aim was to create a powerful, versatile locomotive that could be used for both passenger services and light express services. With its 2'C2' (Hudson) axle arrangement, it was one of the tender locomotives in which water and coal supplies were integrated directly into the locomotive.
The BR 62 was designed for a maximum speed of 110 km/h and could pull both local trains and fast trains on main lines. However, only 15 of this class were built in total, making it a rare and exclusive locomotive on German rails. After the Second World War, some of the locomotives were taken over by the German Federal Railroad and used until the 1960s.
The BR 62 was characterized by its compact design and its ability to operate on lines with tight curve radii. This made it particularly suitable for use in southern Germany and on main lines that were not suitable for larger locomotives such as the class 01.
Era III, which covers the period from 1949 to 1970, was a phase of reconstruction and modernization of the German railroads after the Second World War. During this time, many steam locomotives continued to be used, as diesel and electric propulsion was still in its infancy. The Deutsche Bundesbahn mainly used the BR 62 in regional traffic and express trains during this time.
The introduction of uniform color schemes was characteristic of Era III. During this time, the BR 62 wore the classic black and red livery of the Deutsche Bundesbahn. This color scheme, combined with the compact design of the locomotive, made it an unmistakable part of the DB fleet.
