Royal Saxon State Railways Class I K Steam Locomotive, Road Number

This locomotive type has been familiar to many railroad fans mostly since the class I K, road number 54, was built new in 2009. Yet the first of these locomotives was delivered as far back as 140 years ago in 1881, in a marriage of the construction of narrow gauge railways in Saxony. There was hardly a route on which one of the 44 locomotives built was not in service. The output of 120 horsepower and the maximum speed of 30 km/h / 19 mph seem modest today, but these approximately 16 metric ton locomotives were enough for all of the demands of that time. After World War I, 27 came to the DRG, but they were then retired in the mid-Twenties.

This is a model of the class I K steam locomotive, road number 3, of the Royal Saxon State Railways. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era I. The locomotive has separately applied, etched builders plates. The locomotive is driven by a powerful, ball bearing Bühler motor geared to all of the wheelsets. Traction tires. The locomotive has a built-in mfx/DCC decoder with many light and sound functions such as headlights, cab lighting, and much more. The locomotive has a built-in smoke unit with smoke exhaust synchronized to the wheels. The running sounds will also work in analog operation. Length over the buffers 28 cm / 11.

Freight cars to go with this locomotive are available under item numbers 40272 and 40274, but the passenger cars, item numbers 35095, 35096, and 35097, also go marvelously with this locomotive.

The running sounds will also work in analog operation.
