Historical background:

In 1906, Karl Gölsdorf developed the class 310 for the Austrian express train service in order to meet the increased requirements. With the 1'C2' axle arrangement, the design made it possible to install a large standing boiler with a wide grate without exceeding the maximum axle load of 14.5 tons. A total of 101 locomotives of this series were produced, which were given a striking appearance thanks to their blue-plate cladding.

Compatibility & expansion options:

The locomotive is compatible with all common H0 track systems and can be easily digitized thanks to the NEM 652 interface. It is also prepared for the installation of a smoke generator to make the model even more realistic.
