Class 78.10 Steam Locomotive
German Federal Railroad (DB) steam locomotive, road number 78 1001, 4-6-4T design with a type 2T17 two-axle short tender. The locomotive looks as it did around 1951.
The prototype is a symbol for the German Federal Railroads thoughts about reawakening and its willingness to experiment at a time when it was still new. Theoretically well thought out but not feasible practically, the two class 78.10 locomotives remained the only ones of their type. The H0 model of road number 78 1001 is now available for the first time and as completely new tooling exclusively for Insider members. |
