The prototype of the Piko BR 91.3 steam locomotive

The T 9.3, later known as the BR 91.3, was built from 1901 and was one of the most produced steam locomotives of its time. Originally developed for the Prussian State Railways, it was used in large numbers and proved its worth in passenger and freight traffic as well as in shunting services. The Deutsche Reichsbahn and later the Deutsche Bundesbahn took over numerous locomotives of this series and used them until the 1960s.

This model of the class 91.3 brings the versatility and rugged charm of this locomotive to your model railroad layout. It represents Era III (1945-1970), in which steam technology reached its peak before being replaced by more modern drive systems.
