Class 05 Streamlined Steam Locomotive with a Tender, 1:87 H0
Borsig Works Mystique The fifth Borsig Edition is devoted to a special unit: The DRG entered a new path with the 05 003 streamlined express steam locomotive designed for 175 km/h / 109 mph. A cab mounted on the front of the locomotive was designed to give the locomotive crews a better view of the line and the signals at 175 km/h / 109 mph. Since the boiler was now reversed, only firing with powdered hard coal could be used due to the fuel availability. Road number 05 003 was delivered in 1937. The subsequent test runs initially did not give good results and World War II prevented fundamental modifications. The locomotive remained in storage for a long time and it was rebuilt into a normal version in 1944/45. The question remains, what would have road number 05 003 been like with oil firing?
