Would you like to experience the unmistakable charm of the Deutsche Bundesbahn on your H0 model railroad layout with authentic steam locomotive sound? The Roco 7120057 BR 24 058 steam locomotive of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) brings a fascinating piece of railroad history to your tracks. This replica of the well-known cult locomotive captivates with its characteristic small Witte air deflectors, a firebox door without a central latch, and the elegant design of a classic standard-series steam locomotive. Particularly interesting is the return of this popular version with small Witte air deflectors to the Roco lineup. Thanks to the factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder and the powerful drive system, the digital AC version offers an impressive driving experience for enthusiasts of Era III.
The Class 24 steam locomotives were originally developed as part of the Deutsche Reichsbahn’s standard locomotive program for passenger service on branch lines. As trailing-tender locomotives of the 1'C h2 type, they had an axle load of 15 metric tons and were therefore also suitable for lines with limited load-bearing capacity. In terms of design, the locomotives were closely related to the Class 64 tender locomotive. The superheated steam twin-engine engine developed a power output of approximately 920 PSi and enabled a top speed of 90 km/h. With a driving wheel diameter of 1,500 mm, the locomotives could be used on both branch lines and in passenger service on main lines. This versatility made the BR 24 a defining representative of German steam locomotive history.
After World War II, 47 Class 24 locomotives remained in the western occupation zones. Of these, the Deutsche Bundesbahn returned a total of 42 units to service. Over time, some of the locomotives were fitted with smaller Witte deflectors, which significantly altered their appearance compared to the original design featuring large Wagner deflectors. The locomotives remained in service with the DB until 1967. The Roco 7120057, featuring the 24 058, represents a particularly well-known locomotive from this Bundesbahn era. As an Era III model, it is ideal for recreating classic passenger trains of the 1950s and 1960s.
A special highlight of the Roco BR 24 058 is its design featuring small Witte air deflectors. This characteristic design has returned to the product lineup after a long absence and gives the steam locomotive its elegant, unmistakable silhouette. Compared to the large Wagner air deflectors, the smaller Witte deflectors allow the boiler to stand out more prominently. Another important detail is the firebox door without a central latch, which underscores the typical appearance of the Bundesbahn version. For model railroading enthusiasts who value particularly high-quality lettering, parts of the locomotive nameplates are also included as etched parts. Thus, the Roco 24 058 offers interesting details for discerning collectors and steam locomotive enthusiasts.
The Roco 7120057 is designed for digital AC operation on compatible H0 center-wire layouts and comes factory-equipped with a PluX22 digital decoder with sound. The authentic sound effects bring the special atmosphere of a historic steam locomotive to your model railroad layout. Whether pulling a passenger train, traveling along a rural branch line, or stopping at a station—the sound features complement the operation with an impressive soundscape. The locomotive and its digital functions can be controlled using a suitable digital command station compatible with the decoder. No additional decoder retrofit is required for the intended digital operation and sound features.
To ensure smooth running characteristics, the Roco BR 24 058 features a five-pole motor with a flywheel. Two axles are driven, while two axles are equipped with traction tires to support traction. This makes the locomotive well-suited for use with historic passenger trains. The direction-dependent three-light LED front signal at both ends of the locomotive complements the characteristic Bundesbahn design. Especially when leaving a station or traveling at dusk, this, together with the digital sound functions, creates an atmospheric railroad ambiance. The length over buffers is 196 mm, and the specified minimum curve radius is 358 mm.
The Roco 7120057 is ideal for H0 model railroad layouts focused on the German Federal Railroad (DB) and Era III. The BR 24 058 pairs particularly well with historic converted cars, three-axle passenger cars, and classic branch-line passenger trains. Shorter passenger trains on main lines also fit well with the historical operating environment of this versatile locomotive series. A branch-line layout featuring small stations, rural stops, and a classic steam locomotive depot provides the ideal setting. A close-coupling mechanism is provided between the locomotive and the tender. Additionally, the model features a NEM 362 coupling shaft with close-coupling kinematics. This allows compatible cars designed for AC operation to be combined into a varied historic passenger train set.
The Roco 7120057 combines the history of a popular German standard-design steam locomotive with a highly detailed H0 model and modern sound technology. The small Witte air deflectors, the firebox door without a central latch, and the replica of the famous cult locomotive 24 058 make this version a special collector’s model. The factory-installed PluX22 sound decoder, the five-pole motor, and the flywheel further ensure a varied driving experience. This steam locomotive is an excellent choice, especially for enthusiasts of historic Bundesbahn trains, fans of Era III, and model railroaders with digital H0 AC layouts. Enrich your steam locomotive collection with the Roco BR 24 058 in the AC Sound version and experience the fascinating charm of classic Bundesbahn steam operation on your model railroad layout!
