With its precise workmanship, extensive digital functions and a limited one-off edition in 2025, this locomotive is a real highlight for collectors and model railroaders.

The prototype: The versatile BR 50.0

The class 50 is one of the best-known steam locomotives in Germany and was designed as a universal locomotive during the Second World War. It could be used for both freight and passenger services on main and branch lines. After the end of the war, it remained in service in both German states and continued to be operated by the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) in the GDR.

Many of these locomotives were still in use in Era IV, which lasted from around 1965 to 1990, although the switch to diesel and electric locomotives was already well advanced. The BR 50.0 was characterized by its reliability and versatility and could be found on numerous lines in the GDR, where it often hauled heavy freight trains or local trains.

Era IV: The transition to modern railroad technology

Era IV marks the transition from the traditional steam locomotive era to modern diesel and electric technology. While traction conversion was already well advanced in West Germany, many steam locomotives continued to be used intensively in the GDR. The introduction of internationally agreed vehicle markings and new color concepts characterized this period. The BR 50.0 is a typical example of this era and can be ideally integrated into historical train sets of the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
