Comment: In the mid 1930's competition threatened the steam locomotive: Fast, diesel-powered cars dominated high-quality long-distance travel. Consequently the steam engine industry produced modern high-performance locomotives that reached speeds of up to 200 km/h or 124 mph. For traffic between Berlin and Dresden the German State Railroad procured a whole train. It was pulled by the class 61. From this class Henschel produced two prototypes with totally different designs. He 61 001 had a 2'C2' wheel arrangement and a two-cylinder drive gear. The State Railroad provided the 61 002, which was completed in 1939 a trailing axle and an additional cylinder. Naturally, both locomotives had streamlined bodies. While other streamlined locomotives hauled conventional trains, the German State Railroad especially commissioned streamlined cars for express service between Berlin and Dresden. They were built by Wegmann; like Henschel a company based in Kassel. Interestingly enough there was no first class car. To compensate, first class comfort dominated in 2nd class, according to the press. The appellation "salon car" was totally justified. The first and last cars both had a rounded end with large panorama windows. Travelers in the last car were thus offered an excellent view of and around the route the train was putting behind itself. When the 1936 summer timetable went into effect the German State Railroad started express service between Prussia and Saxony. Two pairs of trains were underway daily. The fastest train completed the journey in one hour and 40 minutes. At this speed it surpassed the previous record holder by 28 minutes. In the afternoon however, the turnaround time at the terminus between the D 54 and D 57 was tightly metered out at only 32 minutes. The German State Railroad also had to consider that replacement locomotives of other classes did not reach the top speed of the 61. If the 61 fell out to scheduled or non-scheduled service, the Dresden 01 or 03 took over the rake of cars. Instead of 175 km/h or 109 mph, however it reached only 130 to 140 km/h or 81 to 87 mph. As a consequence the German State Railroad loosened up the timetable slightly. Express service ended when the war started. From that point the cars served the military, the locomotives spent most of their time in inactivity. At the end of the war the 61 001 remained in the British zone. By 1951 it was relegated as splint class. In 1952 it was taken out of service, and it was dismantled in 1957. The 61 002 became part of the State Railroad of the Soviet zone. It hauled passenger and express trains from Dresden. After it was taken out of service in 1958; main frame, front wheels and coupled wheels remained intact in the high-speed trial train, 18201.

81437 - Ruhr Commuter Train

Price: $ 316.03

Prototype: Commuter traffic train for the Ruhr Express Service of the German State Railroad Company (DRG). Steam locomotive with class 38 tender. 3 Prussian design compartment cars in special paint scheme. 2ndand 3rd class with brakeman's cabin, as well as 3rd class with and without brakeman's cabin.

Model: Locomotive with all driving axles powered. Separately applied front sign "Ruhr-Schnellverkehr". Car frame with truss rod and floor details. Separately applied foot boards, ladders, and grab irons. All wheels with dark wheel tread. Total length over buffers 348 mm / 13-11/16".

Comment: The increase in the population in the Ruhr and Saal areas led to a demand for fast connections between cities as early as the provincial railroad period. Different studies were commissioned and carried out. The actual breakthrough did not occur until 1932 when the "Ruhr Express Service" was placed into service with a total of 32 trains between Essen and Dortmund. The train routes were continuously expanded and extended to Cologne, Mönchengladbach and Wuppertal-Vohwinkel. In addition to different powered rail cars, the 4-axle "English design" compartment cars turned out particularly well in this service. The attractive paint scheme became a trademark symbol for this regularly scheduled express passenger service. The dense sequence of stations, most of them only a 30 to 60 second stop, demanded locomotives that could accelerate quickly. The class 78 met this requirement as if it were child's play. The additional sign mounted on the smoke box was another indication of the special use for these units.

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) class 58 freight locomotive. Former Prussian G 12.

Model: All driving axles powered. Dark wheel tread and valve gear. Length over buffers 85 mm / 3-11/32".

Comment: With the G 12 the Prussian State Railways were able to produce a predecessor of standard locomotives. While railways from other countries had also purchased earlier designs; at this time however - 1916 - there was military pressure to standardize the rolling stock of national railways. In 1917 the first locomotive was on the tracks. It had a three-cylinder drive gear. This made it clearly distinct from older Prussian designs. The bar girder frame and the broad Belpaire rear boiler design in no way corresponded to pure Prussian theory. In order to achieve the required maximum axle load of 16 t, the G 12 was given a five-x coupled drive gear. The State Railways of Baden, Prussia, Saxony, and Württemberg placed the G 12 in service. Approximately 1500 units were built on this design. The last of these locomotives were in service in the DDR until 1976.

88952 - K.W.St.E. class T 9 Tank Locomotive (L)

Price: $ 114.92

Prototype: Passenger locomotive class T 9 of the Royal Wrttemberg State Railways (K.W.St.E.).

Model: Locomotive with all driving axles powered. Dark wheel tread and valve gear. Front coupler hook. Length over buffers 55 mm / 2-5/32".

Comment: Thrifty as Swabians are, in 1906 the Royal Württemberg State Railways decided to procure a proven Prussian design. To this point none of the Southern German railways had dared such a step. The T 9 was in service in Prussia under the T 9.3 designation. In 1901 the first locomotive was on the tracks. The boiler of this locomotive was high compared with others. The length of the flue was somewhat less than that of the preceding type, the T 9.2. As there was more space for piping in the boiler, the T 9.3 had the same heating surface. The first coupled wheel set and the carrying wheel set were combined in a Krauss-Helmholtz frame. The coupled axle could slide 27 mm / 1-1/16", the carrying axle 20 mm / 25/32" to either side. Thus the first coupled wheel set took over some of the steering work from the carrying wheel set. The Prussian State Railway placed no fewer than 2052 units in service. In addition, there were 133 locomotives for the Alsace-Lorraine State Railways, as well as 23 locomotives for other railways, including 10 for Württemberg. The last DB locomotive was decommissioned in 1964, the last German State Railway locomotive was decommissioned in the early 70s.
