Additional information

Freight Locomotive with Tender with Brakeman's Cab. German Federal Railroad class 050. Digital version. Headlights digitally controlled. Metal boiler. 5 axles powered. 4 traction tires. Driving wheels divided into 2 coupled groups enabling unit to negotiate sharp curves. Coupler hook at front, RELEX coupler on tender. Length over buffers 26.1 cm (10-1/4").

The German Federal Railroad equipped some of its class 50 freight locomotives with cabs on the tender for conductors. In the prototype these locomotives were the backbone of freight train motive power, because, thanks to their relatively low axle loading, they could be used on more than just main lines.
