Product Description

No.55 3788 DB Version. Vented cab roof
Constructed between 1913 and 1921 to a design  by Robert Garbe the G8.1 was an important machine. Deliberately designed to be heavy for great traction without sanding the G8.1 could only be used on main lines, nevertheless, over 5,000 of them were built for the K.P.E.V. plus export.   Around 1,000 remained in Germany in the 1950s and the last was withdrawn from the DB network in 1972.
 691 G8.1 were converted to Br56.2 by adding a leading bissel truck that reduced axle load, increased stability at speed and allowed these locomotives to work on branch lines.

Full DCC Digital function - Running Sounds, Dynamic Smoke generator, Automatic uncoupling, Direction dependant headlights, Cab light, USP and energy storage.
