This really nice HO gauge loco by Liliput is 105 10 a DR BR 05 steam locomotive in DB black livery with running number 05 001.

Since the success of the diesel high speed trains like the Flying Hamburger in the middle of the 1930s, the German locomotive industry turned to faster steam locomotives. After speed tests with a streamlined DRG Class 03 the Borsig locomotive factories produced three engines:

05 001 as streamlined in 1935

05 002 as streamlined in 1935; This engine broke the world speed record in 1936 at 124.5 mph (200.4 km/h)

05 003 as cab forward streamlined in 1937 (the loco depicted here)

The locomotives did regular service in FD express passenger trains, e.g. FD 23 from Hamburg to Berlin. The design speed was 175 km/h (109 mph). In 1944, the streamline plates were removed. 05 003 had been rebuilt and lost the cab forward design.

Two of the three locos were scrapped in 1960. 

The loco is in very good condition as you can see in the pictures, the loco is tested and runs with working lights, the overall condition is very good, but please check the images closely as there are a couple of minor cosmetic issues. It comes complete with its box. The box is in good if slightly shelf worn condition. 

Overall this is a really nice scale locomotive and would look fantastic on a layout.

Do please have a look at our other listings, we typically have various HO and OO locos on offer as well as an extensive range of imported N gauge locos and other items. 

Note: We do recommend all locos are cleaned & serviced, as they have some age to them even if the quality looks at the highest level (fairly standard advice for all locos!).
