About this 01 508 steam locomotive:
The German railway company Deutsche Reichsbahn was concerned that it would be able to keep fewer and fewer locomotives for its express trains due to the poor condition of the locomotives belonging to the 01 class.
As a result, the company decided to rebuild 01 series while improving performance and reliability. This series has been able to benefit from new, highly successful improvements:
.
- New welded boiler.
- Revamped boiler superstructures.
- Replacement of axles and which for some have étéquipute;es Boxpok wheels cast steel.
This made the Reko-01 one of the most powerful express train steam locomotives of the post-war era.
