"Analogue version, epoch 3, DR, Rbd Erfurt, Bw Vacha
The 56 2001 was the first engine of this class to go into series production and one of the last two engines to be retired. From 1961, the locomotive belonged to the Reichsbahndirektion (Rbd) Erfurt, Bahnbetriebswerk (Bw) Vacha.

Information on the prototype
Origin and design
The locomotives of the classes 56.1 and 56.20 were originally developments from the Prussian G12 (later Class 58).With only a little over 80 locomotives, this implementation was not yet the best variant. After switching to a twin engine, the newly developed BR 56.20 (Prussian G8.20) was able to convince. It had an axle arrangement of 1'D, which means: a running axle and four coupled wheels at the front.
Technical data
The locomotives of these classes reached a top speed of 65 km/h and had a driving wheel diameter of 1400 mm. Later conversions allowed speeds of up to 75 km/h, which meant that they could also be used for lighter passenger train services.
