INFORMATION ABOUT THE MODEL

Before the BR 01 series achieved its reputation as “the” German express locomotive, the companies Borsig (01 001-008) and AEG (01 009-010) delivered a total of ten pre-series locomotives to the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG). It all started with 01 008, which is still preserved today and handed over to the DRG on January 10, 1926. However, the locomotives were still ahead of their time at that time, because many lines and also railway depots were not yet prepared for an axle load of 20t. Thus, the operational routes in the first years of operation were still very limited. The testing of the new locomotives thus dragged on. The most striking difference to the later series locomotives was that the first ten 01 series had a visibly longer cab.
