"Frank S." Steam Loco





The LGB model of this legendary locomotive is painted in its original green colors, as it ran on the romantic Jagsttalbahn. With two 7-pole Bühler motors - one in the loco and one in the tender - the loco impresses with its pulling power. And like all LGB models, "Frank S." features prototypical details and crisp lettering. The loco lanterns illuminate in the direction of travel, a smoke generator is installed in the smoke stack and a power control switch allows parking the loco. Equipped with Type I MTS decoder.


The Prototype
After World War II, a number of locomotives from the Heeresfeldbahn (military field railway) were peacefully employed on various narrow gauge railways in East Germany. The prototype of this model was one of three locos of this type operating on a small line south of Berlin. After that railway was abandoned, the locos went to the Baltic island of Rügen. Today, the “Frank S.” loco continues to operate, much to the delight of visitors to the island.
