TA Steam Loco, Gray, 54





The French company Lucien Corpet built 826 of these meter-gauge "030 T" locos for railways across Europe, and you can still see these classics today. This beautifully proportioned LGB model offers you all the classic LGB technical features: a powerful Bühler motor, weather-resistant gearbox, voltage stabilization, reliable power pick-ups and much more.


The Prototype
During the 1800s, the French company Lucien Corpet built numerous narrow gauge locomotives. After 1890, three-axle tank locomotives were the mainstay of the company's production, with weights ranging from 7 to 22 tons. Railway companies could order these locos from a catalog, and 826 meter-gauge "030 T" models were produced for railroads all over France and the rest of Europe.
