Roco 70042 H0 Steam locomotive BR 50 of German Railways
Steam locomotive series 50 of the German State Railways.Drive on two axles of the tender and via cardan shaft on all five driving axles of the locomotive.In eastern Germany, the 50 series played a major role even longer than in the West. In terms of numbers, 354 locomotives remained comparatively few in the Soviet occupation zone at the end of the war.Over time there were different locomotive-tender combinations. After their removal from the old building, the new 23.10 and 50.40 models were increasingly used behind the old building 50. However, because there was no continuous back wall, this combination was not particularly popular with the staff, especially in winter.This text is machine translated.
