Information about the model
The first few trips showed that the new locomotive not only met all expectations, but even exceeded them. The locomotive ran very smoothly even at high speeds, and the boiler always provided enough steam for the balanced four-cylinder engine.
In July 1907, a record speed of 154.4 km/h was finally achieved during test trips between Munich and Augsburg. No steam locomotive had ever traveled faster on the European mainland. At the time of its commissioning and the sensational record trips in 1906, the S 2/6 wore an elegant gray livery. The boiler was covered with "Russian shiny metal."
