The BR 80 steam locomotive - a piece of railroad history

The class 80 steam locomotive is a classic shunting locomotive that was built for the Deutsche Reichsbahn in the 1920s. It was mainly used for shunting operations and was very popular due to its compact design and performance. The BR 80 models are known for their nostalgic charm and robust construction, making them a popular collector's item for model railroaders. Roco has faithfully reproduced this locomotive in the Start Set so that it looks authentic on any model railway layout.
