Description

Roco 7110014 H0 DB steam locomotive 89 7296 with DC sound: The perfect Era III branch line locomotive

The Roco 7110014 H0 steam locomotive 89 7296 of the German Federal Railroad (DB) is a masterfully crafted model that combines historical authenticity with the latest digital technology and sound functions. This compact class T3 steam locomotive is ideal for use on branch lines and is an indispensable highlight for all model railroaders of Era III.

The prototype: The T3 tank locomotive

From 1882 to 1910, around 1,550 class T3 locomotives were built for the Prussian State Railroad (K.P.E.V.) and other state railroads. With a friction load of 36 tons and an output of 300 HPi, these locomotives reached a top speed of 40 km/h. They were known for their reliability. They were known for their reliability and were mainly used on branch lines and for shunting work.

After the Second World War, around 70 locomotives of this series remained with the German Federal Railroad. The 89 7296 is a typical example of these robust machines, which were in service until 1961.

The railroad company: Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB)

The Deutsche Bundesbahn, founded in 1949, was the main operator of rail transport in West Germany in Era III. It continued to use proven steam locomotives such as the T3 on branch lines, while the fleet was gradually modernized. This model shows the typical DB livery and lettering from this era.

Era III: The post-war era of the railroad

Era III (1945-1970) was a time of change in the railroad industry in which steam locomotives continued to play an important role. Models of this era enable model railroaders to realistically depict the charm and challenges of this post-war period.
