According to the specification, the new locomotive had to be capable of hauling goods trains weighing up to 1,200 metric tons over low mountain ranges, with an axle pressure of 20 tons. The maximum speed was set at 70 km\/h for the pre-series locomotives. In 1926, to determine the most economical design, orders were placed with various locomotive manufacturers for the construction of 10 locomotives each of the 43 (two-cylinder engine) and 44 (three-cylinder engine) series. In addition to allocating the locomotives to other railway depots, a direct comparison was made between the 43 and 44 at the Pressig-Rothenkirchen depot. The respective merits and shortcomings of both series were determined via tests on the Franconian Forest Railway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe comparison of the two series did not initially favour the more powerful 44 series – the increased economy offered by the two-cylinder type 43 locomotive won the day. However, as Germany emerged from the shadow of the Great Depression in the mid-1930s, calls for more powerful freight locomotives grew louder. The experience gained ten years earlier with the type 44 was still fresh in the memory. The type 44 013-065 locomotives were consequently developed as an intermediate series – in part based on the experience gained in steam engine construction since 1925. In 1938 (from 44 066), full series production finally began. By 1949, a total of 1989 type 44 locomotives had been built at various locomotive factories in Germany and abroad. The new models lived up to all expectations and henceforth became the backbone of the goods train fleet.\u003cbr\u003e44 1153 in its 1967 condition: small wind deflectors mounted high up; lower-mounted pumps; closed center skirt; 2'2 T30 tender\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetailed and movable internal engine, with two crop axles\u003cbr\u003eAC version with latest pickup generation\u003cbr\u003eBoiler, driver's cab and tender made of high-quality, impact-resistant plastic\u003cbr\u003ePerforated underframe and spoked wheels in die-cast zinc\u003cbr\u003eStandard shaft rear with link guide\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated driver's cab (Version Digital EXTRA)\u003cbr\u003eFire flickering (Version Digital EXTRA)\u003cbr\u003eSound decoder, either built in or as a retrofit option\u003cbr\u003eSmoke generator can be retrofitted\u003cbr\u003eClose coupling between locomotive and tender\u003cbr\u003ePerfectly replicated back boilerplate\u003cbr\u003eDrive in the tender\u003cbr\u003eSingle axle bearing\u003cbr\u003eMany extra mounted parts\u003cbr\u003eTrue to original wagner smoke deflectors\u003cbr\u003eTender 2'2' T32\u003cbr\u003eLength over buffers: 261 mm\u003cbr\u003eBefahrbarer Mindestradius: 360 mm\u003cbr\u003eSchnittstelle: PluX22\u003cbr\u003eAnzahl Haftreifen: 4\u003cbr\u003eSchwungmasse: eingebaut\u003cbr\u003eLichtwechsel: Zweilicht-Spitzensignal in Fahrtrichtung wechselnd\u003cbr\u003eInnenbeleuchtung: eingebaut\u003cbr\u003eKurzkupplungskinematik: eingebaut\u003cbr\u003eSound: vorbereitet","brand":"Brawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49329726816493,"sku":"Brawa-70160","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0279\/4422\/2794\/files\/Brawa-70160.jpg?v=1769965985","url":"https:\/\/ajckids.com\/products\/brawa-70160","provider":"Ajckids","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
