The two-cylinder class 01 locomotives were delivered starting in 1925 as the first express locomotives from the German State Railroads standard design program. Of the total of 231 units placed into service, those locomotives with road numbers from 01 102 on had reinforced brakes and front pilot truck wheels with a diameter of 1,000 mm / 39-3/8. This allowed the maximum speed to be increased from 120 to 130 km/h / 75 to 81 mph. |
