The prototype of the Roco 70078 steam locomotive 77.14

The 77 series of the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) is one of the best-known steam locomotives in Austria. It was built from 1913 as series 629 of the k.k. State Railways (kkStB) and produced in several series until 1927. Its 2'C1' h2t design, known as the Pacific tender locomotive, enabled a top speed of 85 km/h and a range of up to 200 km with full water tanks and coal bunkers. This locomotive shaped Austrian passenger transportation for decades.

The history of the 77.14

The later 77.14 was delivered to BBÖ in 1922 as locomotive 629.29 with the factory number 4379 by the StEG machine factory. It was a prime example of robustness and versatility and was taken out of service in November 1972 after five decades of intensive use. It will remain unforgotten as part of Austrian railroad history.
