Description - Steam locomotive BR50.


Assembly plastic kit of a steam locomotive for mixed service Baureihe BR 50.

The BR50 was developed from 1937 onwards as a powerful goods hauling “standard” locomotive for use on branch lines. With a total of 3164 locomotives, produced by almost all German builders beetween 1938 and 1945, the BR50 was one of the most widely used steam locomotive classes in Germany. Due to the war, the last series was technically simplified and designated BR50 UK (Umbau Kriegslokomotive). The BR50 was developed to replace obsolete steam locomotives on branch lines. At 16t, the low axle load of the BR50 made it suitable for universal use. The running characteristics of the locomotive made possible a maximum speed of 80km/h forwards and backwards. The BR50 had a weight of 135t with a power of 1625hp.The locomotives were given large “Wagner type” smoke deflector and were coupled with 2’2’T26 tenders. During post-war period, BR50 locomotives were owned by both the East and West German railway administration. There were 2563 BR50 locomotives remaining in western area alone. About 1000 locomotives had boilers made of infamous St47K steel that was not resistant to corrosion. In order to take advantage of the capacities of these locomotives, they were given with boilers of scrapped or unfinisced BR52s. From 1958 onwards, for use on branch lines, 751 tenders were equpped with drivers’s cabs. The last BR50 were scrapped by Deutsche Bundesbahn in 1977. The 350 BR50 locomotives that reamined in East Germany were rebuilt and only retired in 1989.
