Article number: 510008701 Product: 1:87 Locomotive BR41 Model Dim.: 27,5 cm From 1936, within the building programme for the German National Raiways (DRG), the BR 41 class of "standard" locomotives was developed for fast good trains. During the trial period the BR 41 received the nickname "Ox loco" because it was used for hauling fast cattle trains. Subsequntly, a total of 366 of the BR 41 locomotives were built, split among almost all the German locomotive builders. The BR 41 was designed as a so-called multi-purpose locomotive. In addition to its proper application – hauling express goods trains – its maximum speed of 90km/h enabled it to be used for fast and even express passenger trains. HO/1:87 Scale

1:87 Locomotive BR50
510008702€19.99
Article number: 510008702 Product: 1:87 Locomotive BR50 Model Dim.: 26,6 cm The BR50 was developed from 1937 onwards as a powerful goods hauling "standard" locomotive for use on branch lines. With a total of 3164 locomotives, produced by almost all German builders beetween 1938 and 1945, the BR50 was one of the most widely used steam locomotive classes in Germany. Due to the war, the last series was technically simplified and designated BR50 UK (Umbau Kriegslokomotive). The BR50 was developed to replace obsolete steam locomotives on branch lines. At 16t, the low axle load of the BR50 made it suitable for universal use. HO/1:87 Scale
