It is the BR 53, an extra heavy Kriegslok (Warlock). This steam locomotive to be built 1943rd It is a phantom. From their models exist in 1 to 87 (Marklin Rocco Fleischman or Trix) but all models correspond only to the imagination of the builders.

There is no picture of the BR 53, no plan, no nothing, it is a phantom. Supposedly it should should a locomotive with almost 3,000 hp be, which can carry a freight train carrying 1,700 tons of load on a slope of 8 ‰ in a curve of 360 m radius of 20 km / h. The speed limit should be at least 80 km / h.

Length over buffers..............................27350 mm

service weight.......................................ca. 140 to

Water box contents.....................................35 m³

Fuel supply (coal)........................................15 to

steam boiler diameter .................2000- 2200 mm

Whether my monster, with a length of almost 92 cm (115 nups) can also drive curves ??? And also comes through switches ??? Look at yourself to YouTube.

the end of the video, it is a bit faster

I hope you enjoyed fun on reading

Yours sincerely Udo

Hi Udo,

Congratulations, a fantastic build. Great work getting all the rods connected up, look so much like the real thing!

Have to ask, which motors are you using and how did you get 9V power in? Is pickups from the tender or somewhere else?

What a beauty !

We didn't have such large steam engines in Australia that Im aware of.

Im not an expert on steam trains but Ive never seen a louvred tender locally - what is its purpose ?

Thanks in advance

the condensing tenders were used to recover water. The steam from the funnel is transferred back to the tender where giant radiators cool the steam down. (the steam becomes water when cold), the water then gets back into the water tank and the locomotive now has more water. The main purpose for this was to extend the range the locomotive could drive.

Hello friends of Lego Train,

I thank you for your kind comments. Old known names among them.

A question alias THERIZE has already answered. Capacitor Tender was an invention of the Second World War. The water was recovered. By condensing the vapor. This had two important advantages. A.) Greater range between the accommodating water. (Water tower, wells) B.) For combat aircraft of the Allies. Was at a great distance. A locomotive without thick clouds of steam. much inferior to see.

The drive for the locomotive. An old 9-volt motor. and a 88002 under the Tender. the old 9-volt motor is of the pantograph. In the boiler of the locomotive. I wanted to install four 8883 M engines. but the Oval Smoke Stack (chimney) goes very deep into the boiler. there is only room for three 8883 M engines.

I need to build for the locomotive freight wagons. have additional own engines. Too many wheels, gears and friction (friction resistance) My BR 53 does not have 3000 hp.

Yours sincerely Udo

Beautiful, and great work on the running gear. I still do not know why we did not have condensing locomotives in Australia. it would make sense to me and I understand they worked well in a similar climate in South Africa.

Do you have a train in mind for this beauty to pull?

Hello friends of Lego Train,

thanks again for your kind comments. What will pulling the BR 53? Now the BR 53 was intended as a "workhorse", freight wagons they would pull. She was, (as far as I know) no plans for persons or fast traffic.

The speed limit shoulderstand be at least 80 km / h. Allegedly, de locomotive shouldhave nearly 3,000 hp, and can pull a freight train carrying 1,700 tons of load on a slope of 8 ‰

Hello friends of Lego Train,

When I wanted to BR 53 Building, I had only two important points in mind.

1) You should, despite their large, can also go through to small Lego curves.

2) You should be able to drive over turnouts.

About the power that should have it, I've made to no time thinking.
