When the Deutsche Reichsbahn was founded in 1920, mostly outdated locomotives were running on the branch lines. Early 1920 drafts were made for a triple-coupled, superheated steam tank locomotive with one running axle at the front and one at the rear. With a maximum speed of 90 km per hour this locomotive should also be suitable for light trains on main lines. The Class 64 was built between 1928 and 1940. Many German manufacturers contributed to the series. Due to its compact construction, the Class 64 was called “Bubikopf” (after a popular women’s hairstyle of the time).
The set contains the locomotive DRG Class 64. To motorize the locomotive you need a L-motor and battery box from LEGO®. The battery box must be placed in a wagon behind the locomotive, such as the PwPost4i Pr14 baggage car. If you chose the option “No Electric” you will get parts to replace the motor. All graphic elements are printed on the LEGO® parts. The model is built on a 1:45 scale and need a larger radius of curve (R104) for a smooth ride.
