Description

Roco 70067 Steam locomotive 03 0059-0, DR, Ep. IV: A legend of the Deutsche Reichsbahn

The Roco 70067 steam locomotive 03 0059-0 is a faithful reproduction of one of the famous "Rekoloks" of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) from Era IV. With its new high-performance boiler and the conversion to oil main firing, this locomotive is symbolic of the last generation of express steam locomotives used in the GDR. Equipped with a detailed model reproduction, state-of-the-art technology and an optional retrofittable smoke generator, this model offers a realistic driving experience on your H0 model railroad layout.

Prototype: The German State Railroad class 03.10

After the Second World War, some class 03.10 locomotives remained with the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which were equipped with a new high-performance boiler from 1959. These locomotives, known as "Rekoloks", were intended to achieve greater economy through this technical upgrade. In the 1960s, the engines were also converted to oil main firing in order to make daily operations more efficient. They were used in express train services until the 1970s before they were gradually taken out of service. Their impressive performance of up to 20,000 kilometers per month made them true workhorses of the DR.
