Prototype: After the founding of the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft (DRG) in 1925, the unfavorable variety of locomotives of the past state railways, which was unfavorable in daily operation, was to be gradually replaced by so-called standard designs. One of the first in this typification plan was the 64 series.
Between 1928 and 1940, a total of 520 machines, also known as "Bubikopf", were built by almost all German locomotive factories. Due to the excellent running characteristics in forward and reverse driving with a top speed of 90 km/h, the 1' C 1' locomotive was often used in front of passenger trains, but also in front of push-pull trains and mixed trains. The locomotive was at home in numerous depots and was on the road in all parts of Germany. The last locomotives were not retired until 1974.
But even before the development of this digital control system, Lenz had already set milestones for the model railway enthusiast, for example with the "REPA Lok-Aus" and the legendary "Teichmann controller". Lenz is constantly working on making the occupation with model railways more interesting, more varied, but also easier: USP ensures uninterrupted data transmission into the decoder even when power is interrupted from the track, ABC ensures pinpoint stops in front of signals, RailCom delivers information from the locomotive back to the digital system.
Lenz's entry into 0 gauge has not only been well received by "veteran" zero gauge enthusiasts, but has also inspired numerous model railway enthusiasts to enter/with this great gauge. Lenz is continuously expanding its programme here as well, but still attaches great importance to the greatest possible faithfulness to the prototype, exceptional technology and high quality standards.
