Product description

In the years 1939 to 40, a total of 55 three-cylinder engines were built as the class 01.10. With a streamlined cladding added, the air resistance reduced drastically in the wind tunnel. Test drives confirmed the assumption that the engines could easily reach 150 km/h, and that the effective tensile force on the hook could be increased by almost 50 %. Therefore, red paintwork would have been perfectly feasible on some locomotives.
