The German DRG Class 71.0 was a 2-4-2
T locomotive with the
Deutsche Reichsbahn, which was intended as a replacement for
railbuses. Originally it had been planned for these standard engines (Einheitsloks) to haul fast passenger trains.
Two vehicles were delivered in 1934 by the firm of
Schwartzkopff and two each in 1936 by the firms of
Borsig and
Krupp. The two-
cylindersuperheated engines were equipped with automatic underfeed stokers for one-man operation. In the course of its service the
boileroverpressure was reduced from 20 bar to 16 bar for safety reasons. All the locomotives had a plate
frame. The second
coupled wheelset was driven and the
carrying wheels rested in
Bissel axles.
