Steam Locomotives In Stock.

The class S 3/6 locomotives purchased by the Royal Bavarian State Railroad starting in 1908 were one of the most successful and beautiful designs to originate from Bavarian locomotive building. Under their new designation as the class 18.4 in the German State Railroad period, they therefore formed the backbone of the extra-regional express passenger service at the point of renowned long distance trains such as the Rheingold or the Orient Express. Thanks to high levels of performance with simultaneously low fuel consumption, additional units of the class 18.5 were ordered up to 1931 and the last units were not retired until 1966. Several museum locomotives remain preserved, among them an operational unit at the Bavarian Railroad Museum in Nördlingen.

By 1921 a total of eight builders had finished 1,168 units of the class G 12 for the Prussian-Hessian State Railways and the DRG. Another 321 similar locomotives went to other parts of the railroad. In 1925 the German State Railroad Company’s class G 12 was redesignated as the class 58, whereby the Prussian G 12 was given the class designation of 5810-21. In 1950 the German Federal Railroad still had 152 locomotives of this class on its roster.

The class 01 locomotives with an axle load of more than 20 metric tons were much too heavy for many German State Railroad Company DRG) routes that had not yet been improved. Starting in 1930 the DRG purchased the class 03 as a lighter version of the class 01, so that seamless passenger service with modern steam locomotives could also be guaranteed on these routes. A total of almost 200 units of this class were placed into service by 1937, of which most were acquired after the war by the German Federal Railroad and by the German State Railroad (East Germany).

Of the 45 units of the former class 03.10 streamlined locomotive that were still in existence after 1945, 26 were on the roster of the German Federal Railroad. By the mid-1950s, the condition of the boilers on these units was so bad that the DB decided to undertake an extensive rebuilding program with new boilers. The appearance of the locomotives changed considerably in the process and resembled the class 01.10 units that had also been equipped with new boilers. However, the rebuilding of the class 03.10 was not so successfully technically as with the class 01.10, so that the former soon ended up in fast passenger train service. All of them were stationed in Hagen and were retired by 1966.

As early as the 1950s the boilers on the class 41 locomotives purchased starting in 1936 were beginning to show signs of wearing out. Starting in 1957 they were therefore equipped with new boilers identical to those used on the class 03. Thirty units were also converted to oil firing as part of this rebuilding program and were equipped with a typical oil tender. The rebuilding and conversion program increased the locomotives power slightly. However, despite good results, the concept of oil-fired steam locomotives could not compete long term with the higher efficiency level of the diesel locomotives.

DB BR 52, With Steifrahmen Tender,  With DCC Socket. Epoche III.

Three different tender designs were used for the standard version of the class 52: the type K 2’2’T 26 box style tender, the type K 2’2’T 30 tub style tender, and the type K 4 T 30 rigid frame tender, the K in German representing a wartime design. The rigid frame tender had no trucks; instead, the first and fourth wheel sets were mounted in a fixed frame on the 4 T 30, and the second and third wheel sets had 15 mm / 9/16

The class 58 was retired by the DB by 1953. On the DR by contrast, the G12 was in daily service for a much longer time. The DR had a total of 511 of the class 58 locomotive. They had come from different provincial railroads: 422 Prussian, 57 Saxon, 30 Baden and 2 from Würtemberg. This powerful locomotive was indispensable will into Era 4, some even underwent an extensive overhaul with a new boiler.

In 1925 the class G 12 was changed to the class 58 by the German State Railroad Company, whereby the Prussian G 12 was changed to the class 5810-21. Up to 1915 all of the provincial railroads operated their own locomotive designs that were tailored to the individual geographical features and requirements of that country. During the First World War this variety of locomotives in use by the army in occupied areas turned out to be a problem. The constant lack of spare parts and the fact that the locomotive crews and maintenance people were not familiar with these different models led in 1915 to the decision to have a standard design locomotive designed that was to be purchased by all of the German state railroads with the exception of Bavaria. An extensive production program was requested. This locomotive was to be used in army railroad service for the duration of the war and for military freight trains as well as for passenger trains. It was originally planned as a 2-8-0 wet steam locomotive, but was changed to a 2-10-0 superheated steam locomotive in order to create a locomotive design that would also meet all the requirements for peacetime use. Henschel was given the contract for the design work that was finished at the start of 1917. As early as July of the same year Henschel was able to deliver the first 50 class G 12 locomotives. In the following years only a few changes were carried out on this locomotive. For example, starting in 1919 the steam dome and sand boxes were not under the same metal housing.
