Looking to get inspiration and the look of the long flat lines in this area to match my class 24 Steppen Pferd lok. Espically the look of the station and other buildings along that part of the DB in Era III. Also curious on other common small branch line loks assigned to that area. I suspect without looking that class 38 and maybe class 64 might be correct. Since my layout is a table top line and I have the class 24 branch line starter set. The flat lines over this area will make modeling easier I hope. Thanks Mike

It is hard to find anything written in English about German railways. My most interesting source has been Insider and Marklin Magazin, by combining various articles to understand an area of Germany. Of course, while they are interesting, they lack the depth needed by the serious researcher.

The other source of information is Wikipedia, while there is greater depth - there is also sometimes doubt about the accuracy of the content.

I agree with the accuracy issues on some web sources. I can live with stuff I cannot read if it has excellent pictures. Although Prussia doesn't exhist in Era III, the former Prussian railways do. This is where Wikipedia says most of the class 24's lived out thier days. If there is a good book that has pictures of the branchlines these engines ran on, that would be most wonderful, even if written in German. At one time, my late uncle was able to translate my German railway books I do have. Now I have to rely on pictures. Mike

We've already been discussing this in your other thread?

You can't model Prussia with your BR24 because Prussia was no longer a part of Germany after the war and your BR 24 is the Deutsche Bundesbahn version of West Germany.

Some trivia in this context: I stumbled over an interesting 1954 photograph of the loco depot turntable at the junction station of Wriezen on the Eberswalde–Frankfurt (Oder) line northeast of Berlin, i.e. in the former German Democratic Republic (thus no DB territory):

Besides, according to the relevant German Wikipedia article, class 24 steamers were stationed at Wriezen station as of 1928, i.e. during the Weimar Republic before WW2 (thus two decades before the DB was founded).

More class 24 trivia:

Class 24 nicknamed "Steppenpferd" was developed especially for the long, flat stretches in West- and East Prussia. 95 engines were obtained from the companies Schichau and Linke-Hofmann et al., all built between 1928 and 1939. The locomotives were equipped with 3T 16 and 3 T 17 tenders. Two engines with operating numbers 24 069 and 24 070 were supplied by Borsig with a medium pressure boiler. These locomotives ran with a boiler pressure of 245.1 N / cm², but were converted 1952.

DB in the Federal Republic of Germany took over 38 locomotives and retired them by 1966. The last one at DB was the locomotive with the number 24 067, which was stationed in Rheydt and was put out of service in August 1966.

24 002, 004, 009, 021 and 030 remained with DR in the German Democratic Republic. They were all based in Jerichow in the 1960s and found their field of activity in the Ghentin branch line network until 1968. 24 009 was modified in 1970 becoming 37 1009 and was kept as auxiliary train reserve in Güsten and Stendal. In 1972 it was sold to new owners in the Federal Republic of Germany.

34 locomotives remained after the Second World War in Poland, where the last locomotive was used until 1976. Also the 24 083 conservated today in Germany was in use in Poland. Four locomotives of the 24 series have survived to this day: three of them in Germany (24 004, 24 009 and 24 083) as well as one in Poland.
