Roco 62297 - Steam Locomotive BR T 12 KPEV

The series T 12 was a passenger train tender locomotive of the Royal Prussian Railway Administration. The main area of operation for the T12 was the traffic on the Berlin city, ring and suburban railways, the predecessor of the electric S-Bahn of today. To reach acceptable average speed, the machines had to be able to accelerate the 250 t compartment Car trains on commuter lines and 300 t on suburban lines quickly due to the rather short distances between train stations.
