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.

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.

Prototype: Royal Bavarian State Railroad (K.Bay.Sts.B.) class S 3/6 express locomotive. Early production run with streamlined engineers cab and gas lighting. Used for fast passenger trains, express trains, and cross-border long distance trains.

Highlights: Detailed high-tech model. Motor with a bell-shaped armature and a flywheel in the locomotive. Decoder for DCC, Selectrix, and conventional operation. Sound effects circuit with steam locomotive sounds.
 

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.

DRG BR58^10-21 2-10-0 With Faulhaber Motor With DCC Socket. Epoche II. 

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.
