The prototype of the Roco 78078 steam locomotive 77.14
The ÖBB 77 series was an indispensable steam locomotive for Austrian passenger transportation. Developed as series 629 of the kkStB (k.k. state railroads), it was built in several series between 1913 and 1927. With its 2'C1' h2t design, the so-called Pacific tender locomotive, it reached a top speed of 85 km/h. Thanks to its long range of up to 200 km, it was used on almost all Austrian lines.
Historical significance of locomotive 77.14
The locomotive with the later designation 77.14 was manufactured in 1922 by the StEG machine factory as 629.29. It served the Austrian railroads for over 50 years and was only taken out of service in November 1972. With its reliable performance and universal application possibilities, it is a formative part of Austrian railroad history.
