Prototype of the model: The class 10 of the German Federal Railroad

The class 10 was developed by the German Federal Railroad at the end of the 1950s as the most modern steam locomotive of its time. It was a response to the growing demand for fast and powerful locomotives for express train service. Two examples of this series were built by the Krupp company in 1957: 10 001 and 10 002.

The 10 002 was equipped with an oil main firing system, which distinguished it from its sister locomotive, which had a coal firing system. This locomotive reached an impressive top speed of 140 km/h and was a real eye-catcher with its sleek design and silver-colored trim lines. The combination of efficiency and aesthetics made it an icon of German railroad history.

The German Federal Railroad in Era III: An era of reconstruction and innovation

Era III (1949-1970) was characterized by the modernization and reconstruction of the railroad infrastructure after the Second World War. During this period, the Deutsche Bundesbahn relied on new types of locomotives to meet the growing demands of passenger and freight traffic. The class 10 steam locomotive was a symbol of this era, as it bridged the gap between traditional steam technology and modern railroad technology.

Era III offered a fascinating variety of vehicles and designs, complemented by the introduction of new regulations and standards. The class 10, which was specially designed for express train service, embodied the ideals of speed, efficiency and elegance that characterized this era.
