The new powerful BR03 steam locomotive built from a dizzying amount of 2564
COBI blocks is 70 cm long! This magnificent express locomotive was used to
pull heavy passenger trains, accelerating them to a dizzying 120 kilometers
per hour. Today, it can take your breath away, completing the collection of
every dedicated railway fan! The model released by COBI is BR03 273. The
locomotive is almost 70 centimeters long and is made of 2700 elements. The new
large wheels intended for express locomotives immediately catch your
attention. The steam locomotive has all the most important shapes of its
original model reproduced. The durable construction makes the locomotive
heavy, but at the same time it works perfectly. The system of rotating gears
placed in the frame make the wheels connected by trusses to the steam piston
rotate like on a real locomotive. Interesting design features include: a
reproduced driver's cabin with a firebox, throttle and other elements
important for controlling the locomotive, as well as an opening smoke box. The
locomotive comes with a block tender, necessary for driving a steam
locomotive. The real tender of the BR03 locomotive held 32 cubic meters of
water and 10 tons of coal. The block tender is made in an interesting way
because it has a removable coal load. Thanks to this, our tender can be empty
or loaded with coal to the brim. The model has detailed prints showing the
locomotive markings, Deutsche Reichsbahn, and the necessary technical tables.
In the standard version, you receive a figure of a Deutsche Reichsbahn driver
in a classic railway uniform and six sections of straight track on which the
locomotive can be displayed. Class 03 locomotives were built in the years
1930-1938 as express train locomotives on routes where the axle load was a
maximum of 18 tons. 298 units of this locomotive, the design of which was
based on the class 01 locomotive, were produced by Borsig, Krupp, Henschel and
Schwartzkopff. Locomotives of this type pulled the most luxurious and
prestigious express trains. They were also part of several special trains,
including "Amerika". After the war, BR03 locomotives were sent to the Federal
Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic and the Polish People's
Republic.
