Roco 7100010 H0 steam locomotive 051 494-3, DB, Ep.IV Product Details

Description

The class 50, probably the most important DB steam locomotive of the 1950/60s with many design variants, had proven itself in front of almost all types of trains on main and branch lines. More than 60 significant variants ultimately ensured that hardly any 50s had a completely identical appearance to a sister locomotive. Around 3,100 of the 1'E freight locomotives built from 1939 onwards were considered robust, efficient, easy to maintain and extremely reliable. After 1945, over 2,000 locomotives remained with the Deutsche Bundesbahn. The locomotives reached a maximum speed of 80 km/h, had an output of approx. 1,200 kW and an axle load of 15 tons. When the EDP series scheme was introduced in 1968, there were still 1,452 locomotives in the DB fleet. As the classification number could only have three digits, the designations 051, 052 and 053 were introduced in addition to the 050 series number.
