Steam locomotive class 038 of the German Federal Railway.
Completely new design
Finely detailed model with many separately applied plug-in parts
Wheels with fine spokes
Design with riveted tender and “Witte” smoke deflectors
For a long time, the class 038 steam locomotives with their riveted tenders and "Witte" smoke deflectors were standard on German branch lines. They usually hauled passenger trains and were therefore not replaceable in the local service for a long time. It was not until the increasing modernization at the Deutsche Bundesbahn that they were replaced by diesel and electric locomotives
