Novelty 2026: The BR 62 was the result of the efforts of the Reichsbahn Central Office to develop a series of standard locomotives for various areas of operation. Based on the never-built BR 20, a high-speed two-cylinder superheated steam tank locomotive with a 2’C2’ wheel arrangement was developed. The contract for construction was awarded to Henschel, which delivered a total of 15 locomotives in 1928. Initially, the DRG only took over 62 001 and 002 and used them in the Ruhr area. The remaining 13 locomotives were not put into service until 1932. Version of the Deutsche Reichsbahn in Era IV.
