Roco 70217 H0 Steam locomotive 064 247-0 of DB
Steam locomotive 064 247 of the German Federal Railways.From the year 1928 a total of 520 locomotives of the series 64 were put into service. The 90 km/h fast locomotives were reproduced to the design principle of the unit steam locomotives, making it easier for WAS to supply spare parts. The locomotives were mainly used on branch lines and for transporting passenger trains as well as light freight trains.At the time of the switch to computer number on January 1, 1968, 52 pieces were still in maintenance at the Deutsche Bundesbahn. In contrast to the locomotives of the DR, which were used mainly in the northern lowlands, the 64's of the Federal Railways, after 64 446 being handed over from the Bw Hamburg-Rothenburgsort to the Bw Plattling on April 30, 1966, were used exclusively south of the Main Line.This text is machine translated.
