About the prototype: The "Bergkönigin" with the number 95 027 was manufactured in 1923 by Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG (HANOMAG). With 1,620 HP, the class 95 steam locomotives were the most powerful tender locomotives ever procured by the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. Until 1982, the 95 027 performed its heavy work at various depots on Germany's steepest mountain routes. From 1950 to 1969, it was stationed at Blankenburg and ran on the Rübelandbahn up into the Harz mountains. In 1971, it was converted to oil main firing. In 1982, it was rebuilt to coal firing and included in the stock of traditional DR locomotives. From 1994 to 2008, the locomotive stood in the museum in Arnstadt with boiler damage. Since a thorough renovation at the Meiningen steam locomotive works, it has been steaming again with tourist trains on its steep regular route in the Harz Mountains since 2010.
