DB BR 01 Steam Locomotive 2-3-1

In the period of twelve years,  between 1925 and 1937, a total of  231 2-3-1 locomotives were built by different companies for the then Deutsche Reichsbahn.  All of these locomotives based on single basic design, although slightly different in some non-essential details, they all fell under the Baureihe (class) 01 denomination. The locomotives were designed taking into account the particular tasks that they would be required to fulfill, which were passenger specifically service on direct and heavy long distance routes on the flat routes. With the arrival already of the first units it was apparent that the expectations of the basic project showed very good haulage capabilities in every respect. Over the years the locomotives underwent substantial changes that only partially affected their appearance.

The aesthetic examination of two prototypes reproduced: in the case of 01-141 large smoke deflectors covering the  pumps and next to the boiler. The second prototype 01-196 mounted deflectors of the more modern style, smaller, and the pumps have a more central positioning. The connecting rods and piping in their various different and complex positioning are in their logical position.

Coupled to these locomotives there were different types of tenders, including in last order of date, the 2'2 T34 with welded side plates. The maximum speed reached for these locomotives was130 km/h.
