Model: HO gauge DC. German Federal Railroad class 03.10 express steam locomotive. Finely detailed model with a new construction boiler, tender with tender doors that can be opened by hand, fine wheel sets with spoked leading wheels, reproduction of the third internal cylinder with an internal power unit. With switchable power unit lighting in digital operation. Smoke generator can be retrofitted.

Prototype: The growing long-distance travel in Germany, route expansions and reduced travel times meant that the two-cylinder express locomotives of the 01 and 03 series were pushed to their limits more often than before. In 1936 it was decided to purchase newly developed three-cylinder express train locomotives, in keeping with the spirit of the times with streamlined cladding. In December 1939, Borsig delivered the first prototype locomotive of the 03.10 series.
03 1001, 1002 and 1043 undertook numerous test drives, during which the triple engine ran smoothly even at 150 km / h and the aerodynamic fairing resulted in considerable fuel savings compared to the series 01, 03, 17.10, 18.3 and 18.5.
Of the 60 machines actually built, only 45 survived the war. The Deutsche Bundesbahn was able to add 26 of these to its inventory. In a completely different way than originally planned, the great career for 03.10 began only after she had been undressed and worked up. Up until 1966, these noble racers, most recently with new high-performance boilers, served their service in high-quality express train services on the DB.
matching additions
Founded in 1960 as a manufacturer of plastic products (sand buckets, miniature military vehicles), the company is now one of the world's leading providers of model railways as an innovation leader. The first locomotives were produced in 1976. The models were characterized by precision and authenticity right from the start and established the company's reputation for quality early on. In addition, Roco has always thought further about model railways and stimulated the industry with innovations. Over the decades, the wagons that are not shortened in length, the more prototypical tracks with less high rail profiles or the "snag-free" close couplings should be mentioned. A milestone for the future is the cutting-edge Z21 control system, which for the first time combines the virtual and real game worlds and thus raises the play value of model railways to a completely new level. Company headquarters are in Bergheim/Salzburg. Roco has a global presence and, via Modelleisenbahn München GmbH, is a company of Modelleisenbahn Holding GmbH, which also includes the German quality manufacturer Fleischmann. Roco relies on valuable and manual work. This is the only way to create the detailed, highly reliable and functional miniatures. Comprehensive quality management with internal and external quality assurance measures ensures that Roco locomotive and wagon owners receive the best quality and can enjoy their models for a long time. Here, too, Roco is a pioneer. The Roco factory in Arad was the first factory in the model railway industry to be certified according to ISO 9001 by the German DQS GmbH.
