The prototype of the Roco 7100019: Steam locomotive 086 407

The class 86 was developed from 1928 for use on branch lines and was a versatile machine in freight and passenger train service. After the end of the Second World War, 386 locomotives remained on West German territory, most of which were repaired. By 1952, the German Federal Railroad had 378 locomotives of this series.

With welded replacement water tanks and other modernizations, DB adapted many of these locomotives to the requirements of the post-war period. In addition to their use on branch lines, the locomotives were also used in express train services and for shunting duties. Designated as class 086, the last machines were in service until 1974 before they were finally taken out of service.
