Roco 7100008 H0 steam locomotive 95 0045-5 DR
Steam locomotive 95 0045 of the German State Railroad.This type of steam locomotive was the strongest tender locomotive ever obtained from the German State Railroad Company. A total of 45 pieces of this gigantic machine were built. She got her nickname Mountain Queen because of the use on the tracks Sonneberg-Prostzella, the Spessartrampe, the Frankenwald Railway, the Geislinger Steigen, the Leaning Plane and the Ruebelandbahn. After World War 2, 31 locomotives of the series were transferred to the German State Railways. In the 1950s, boiler equipment, valves, pumps, cab etc. were adapted to the DR's practice in the course of maintenance and thus largely standardized. Between 1966 and 1972, 24 machines were converted to main oil firing, 10 locomotives were given a new construction boiler without a dining dome. The railway line Eisfeld-Sonneberg was the last application area. Only in 1981 were the last machines retired.This text is machine translated.
