Nice loco,once the pride of the DR in the former DDR.
Was operational in color green and color red.
Roco has a nice model,but driverods of poor quality and prone to breaking.
Where is Marklin?

Indeed a very nice loco Paul.

I had the chance to work on digitizing a gauge I model many years ago (I think it was a Lemaco)
Did you know it was build on the chassis, running gear and 3- cylinder steam machine of the second loco for the Henschell Wegmann Zug , DRG 61002?
But I am puzzled with what you say about the Roco model.
The one in HO I have had in my hands about 5 years ago had metal side rods and distribution gear and apparently running quite smoothly.
They looked "normal" to me as far as I can remember;
Could it then be possible there was an earlier version with a different, more fragile, design?
Something to watch for maybe?
Thanks for the link, I love that loco!
Cheers
