Additional information

German State Railroad Company (DRG) class 03.10. With DELTA electronic circuit. 3 axles powered. 2 traction tires. Length over buffers 27.4 cm (10-13/16").

 

The German State Railroad Company was in need of a fast express locomotive for speeds up to 150 km/h (94 mph) on the many routes where the track and roadbed only allowed an axle weight of 18 metric tons. A three-cylinder design based on the proven 03 was planned as a help in this area. In 1939 Borsig in Berlin presented the first two prototypes of the 150 km/h (94 mph) maximum speed 03.10 with its striking streamlining. After good results with the two test units the German Railroad Company wanted to purchase another 138 of the fast 03.10. Borsig in Berlin, Krupp in Essen and Krauss-Maffei in Munic were only able to deliver 58 of this class by 1941.
