"Bavarian Freight Train" Train Set, 1:87 H0
The powerful and yet rather delicate looking Bavarian State Railroad G 5/5 was the most powerful five-axle steam locomotive of all the German provincial railroads. In its later version it could pull up to 1,210 metric tons up a grade of 0.5 % at a speed of 40 km/h / 25 mph. Together with lovingly modelled Bavarian freight car set, it makes an attractive eye-catcher on any model railroad layout.
Prototype: Bavarian class G 5/5 steam freight locomotive, with a type 2´2 T21,8 coal tender. Road number 5865. 2 type Hrz Regensburg gondolas with board walls and stakes. 1 type X Würzburg low side car with board walls, as a crane tender car. 1 crane car with 5,000 kilograms / 5.5 tons capacity. 1 type P München baggage car.
