DetailsDeveloped in the late 1910s by Prussia, the T14 tender locomotive was designed using proven components from the G8.1 and initially served in Berlin’s rail traffic. A total of 497 locomotives were built, many of which found new homes across Europe after the Second World War, including in Poland, Belgium and Austria. The Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) operated these locomotives until 1960, while the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) continued their use mainly in and around Berlin until 1971. The T14’s robust design and widespread deployment made it a significant presence in European rail history. - Proven Engineering: Based on the reliable G8.1 components, ensuring durability and performance.
- Extensive Production: Nearly 500 units built and distributed across several European countries.
- Long Service Life: Used by DB until 1960 and by DR until 1971, particularly in Berlin’s rail network.
- European Reach: Locomotives operated post-war in Poland, Belgium and Austria, demonstrating adaptability.
- Historic Importance: An essential part of early 20th-century European railway development.
This detailed model accurately represents the engineering and historical significance of the T14 tender locomotive, making it a valuable addition for collectors and enthusiasts of classic European steam engines. |
