Operating Instructions

In 1934, the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft gave out an invitation

to tender for the construction of an express train with four

couplings.The initial construction order was for two locomotives from

the 06 series and was awarded to Krupp in Essen. The construction

of the steam locomotive BR 06 001 took from 1934 to 1939. This

long construction time can only be explained by the fact that shortly

after the order was given, DR’s interest in the “giant locomotive”

faded. When the locomotive was finally delivered in March 1939, the

decision to realise the 01.10 series, a new generation of heavy

express train locomotives, had been made. The 06 series had driving

wheels with a diameter of 2000 mm and both a front and rear bogie.

The three-cylinder valve gear and connecting rods was supposed to

enable easy running up to a top speed of 140 km/h. When coupled

to the 5-axle tender T38St, the BR 06 had an total length of 26 520

mm which made it the largest German express train. The frictional

load was 80t, the locomotive’s service weight was 141t, the total

weight of the locomotive and tender was 224t. They were very

pleased with the chassis of the 06 series, several reports of the time

expressly complimented on the smooth running of the machine even

at high speed. The high level of pulling power was also cause for

enthusiasm! Less satisfactory however, was the tank which had

become a problem with its 7.5 m long pipe. The principle which the

Reichsbahn favoured, the long piped tank with small firebox heating

surfaces, had come to a dead end. Until 1952 the locomotives stood

in Frankfurt and Hanau and then they were scrapped in Darmstadt

and Braunschweig.
