Image 3 of 16

Prototype: German Federal Railroad (DB) heavy freight locomotive, road number 44 1315, with a type 2´2´T34 oil tender. The locomotive looks as it did in Era III and Era VI as a locomotive at the Märklineum in Göppingen, Germany. Model: The locomotive has a motor with a bell-shaped armature. All four driving axles are powered. The locomotive has dark wheel treads and valve gear and side/drive rods. The valve gear and side/drive rods are finely detailed and fully functional. The brakes, sanding pipes, etc. are modelled. There are inductive magnets on both sides. The locomotive has enlarged buffer plates. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical. Length over the buffers approximately 112 mm / 4-3/8". A building kit of architectural cardstock for modelling the original locomotive base on which road number 44 1315 is mounted is included with this locomotive. This allows you to model prototypically the current condition of the locomotive.
