DR Steam Loco, 99 5001





Built in 1925 by Borsig, this powerful, but pudgy little loco served on the Spremberg local network until the railway closed in 1956. Later, the loco was overhauled and used on the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) Harzquer line, where it was a yard switcher. An LGB classic, this little workhorse offers a detailed and lighted cab. A voltage stabilization circuit powers the lights and smoke generator. So you´ll have plenty of "steam," even when you´re crawling realistically through your switching yard.


The Prototype
The small German town of Spremberg operated a narrow gauge line that ran from the railway station into the town. Over the years, this line evolved into a 23 km (14 mi.) industrial railway network. The railway used twin-axle locomotives, including this little loco with its big round boiler.Built in 1925 by Borsig, this powerful machine remained in service on the Spremberg network until the railway closed in 1956.
