Roco 78068 H0 Steam locomotive 03 0059-0 of GerRlys
Steam locomotive 03 0059 of the German State Railroad.The steam locomotives of the series 03.10 that remained at the Deutsche Reichsbahn were given a new high-performance boiler from 1959 onwards, as this meant a higher degree of economic efficiency in daily operation. The machines were referred to as Rekoloks. They also received a angular mixed pre-heater arranged in front of the chimney. A few years later, in 1965, all the remaining machines in the inventory at DR were converted to main oil firing. The locomotives were used in daily express trains nationwide, before most of the machines got out in the 1970s and they rolled onto the sidings. In their years of service at the DR, they produced record-breaking mileage of about 20,000 kilometers a month.This text is machine translated.
