Tender locomotive BR 01 114, DR, Ep.3, Wagner smoke deflectors, Rbd Dresden Bw Dresden, tender 2'2'T34, front apron

BR 01 - the model

The DB locomotive for the heavy express train service. The 01 was the first series standard steam locomotive with the axle arrangement 2C1 (Pacific locomotives). The 01s were built from 1925 to 1938, and in the early 1950s the Wagner wind deflectors were replaced by the Witte type. Between 1957 and 1961, some locomotives were fitted with new boilers.

BR 01 - the model

This locomotive model also impresses with its rich equipment and - like all Lenz locomotives - with the detailed representation true to the original. Equipment of the BR 01 in addition to the standard equipment:

• Decoder with USP and energy storage as well as numerous functions and sound already integrated
• prototypical locomotive-tender spacing.
• Noiseless motor control enables smooth, jerk-free running and particularly good low-speed driving characteristics
• The speed of the motor is determined by an angle magnetic sensor mounted on the motor axis
• The lamps are equipped with maintenance-free LEDs
• In digital mode, the headlights can be switched on and off separately at the front and rear, and the brightness can be adjusted separately from other lighting
• The driver's cab lighting can be switched separately from the headlights, and the brightness can be adjusted separately from other lights
• The shunting gear reduces the speed of the locomotive by about half, so shunting movements can be carried out particularly sensitively; Manoeuvring light means that both the front and rear (white) lamps are switched on regardless of the direction of travel

The Lenz locomotive-tender coupling

With this coupling mimic, the radius R1 (914 mm) can also be driven with the prototypical distance between locomotive and tender. This video (using the example of the BR 50) shows how locomotive and tender are connected and separated.
