ALM Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Ciao Nell'ambito degli esperimenti per verificare l'efficacia delle carenature sulle locomotive a vapore per treni veloci, durante gli anno '30 le DRG hanno sviluppato questa Br 03 con carenature parziali. Si tratta di una singola unità che è servita per poi sviluppare le carenature utilizzate poi sulle Br 01.10, 03.10, 05 e 06. Il modello è di Stoney. Ciao ALM DRG_Br_03_154.cdp 1 1 Link to comment
Trainmaster189 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I just saw a screenshot of the front of this engine on Trainz DE and I say that one looks very nice and unique, especially with the American style streamlining. I think the BR01 is basically a German version of the PRR K4 in some way, especially when both had streamlined and semi-streamlined variants. Very nice model! Link to comment

Actually, with its 30 t axle load it would not be allowed to run on European main lines now in 2023 . Link to comment
Trainmaster189 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 No need to explain the size difference and I started noticing that when I was originally into mostly British stuff as a kid. Link to comment
