BR 24 (DR/DB 2-6-0)

Model of a very successful prototype 2-6-0 tender locomotive with two outside cylinders and outside Heusinger valve-gear (a development of Walshaert's valve-gear) designed for secondary mixed traffic purposes by the Deutsche Reichsbahn entering service between 1928 & 1939. They remained in service until 1966 (1968 East Germany) Some remained in Poland after 1945 where they were classified as Oi2. Four survived into preservation.

A compact model with, like the prototype, relatively small wheels on a short wheel-base and a short tender, the Berne gauge dimensions allow the use of a larger boiler than UK loading gauge so makes a comparatively compact mogul but a powerful and sturdy hauler.

Drawings, castings, and some laser-cut parts for 5" (127mm) gauge version available from Live Steam Service in Germany.
