Roco 7100006 H0 steam locomotive 18 201 Kohle, DR, Ep.III Product Details

Description

To test new passenger coaches, the Halle Research Institute needed another high-speed steam locomotive in the 1960s. The new engine 18 201 was created from the high-speed tender locomotive 61 002 and parts of the high-pressure test locomotive H 25 024. The steam generator was a modified new boiler from the class 22 with an extended smoke chamber and Giesl ejector. The locomotive was fitted with a back-pressure brake to ensure that the speed was maintained precisely at high speed. Fast travel meant up to 175 km/h, as the 18 201 was initially approved for this maximum speed - later 180 km/h - but only forwards.
