BRAWA 40963 - H0 express train locomotive BR 02 DRG

Prototype information

In parallel to the 01 series, the Deutsche Reichsbahn developed the closely related 02 series. A direct comparison between the two-cylinder twin design (BR 01) and the four-cylinder composite design (BR 02) was carried out from 1925 tested in everyday operation at the Erfurt, Hamm P and Hof depots, which is the more suitable locomotive series for the Deutsche Reichsbahn. Due to structural defects in the engine's steam paths, the BR 02 could not fully exploit the advantages of composite technology compared to the BR 01. The additionally higher ongoing maintenance costs ultimately led to the decision to give preference to the BR 01 in series production. The 10 BR 02 locomotives were converted into BR 01 locomotives at the Reichsbahn repair shop in Meiningen between 1937 and 1942 and renumbered as 01 011 (ex 02 001) and 01 233-241 (ex 02 002-010). All 10 locomotives were in operation on the Deutsche Bundesbahn in this condition. The last to be decommissioned was 001 234-4 at the depot in 1972.
