German steam locomotive Deutsche Reichsbahn pacific no. 01 0525-4 photographed at Büchen Hbf on 5/6/72. 65 of the 01 class pacifics were taken into DR stock after WW2 and 35 of them were extensively rebuilt during the 1960's into the form shown here. This example is one that didn't acquire boxpok wheels but the tender suggests that it is one that was changed to oil firing although not all of the rebuilds were so fitted. The class continued to provide valuable service in the DDR until 1982 and four have survived into the heritage era.

German steam locomotive Deutsche Reichsbahn former Baden State Railway pacific no. 02 0314-1 was built by Maffei with works no. 5089 in 1919 and became part of the DR fleet with the number 18 314 after WW2. Rebuilding as a semi-streamlined engine for test purposes occurred in 1960 and this picture was taken in August 1971 during an exhibition at Radbeul Ost in connection with the MOROP-Kongress at Dresden. This engine, in its final form, survives to this day as a staic exhibit in the ATM at Sinsheim.

Deutsche Reichsbahn former Baden State Railway pacific no. 18 314 was built by Maffei with works no. 5089 in 1919 and became part of the DR fleet after WW2. Rebuilding as a semi-streamlined engine for test purposes occurred in 1960 and this undated picture was taken between then and 1971   - but read the additional note below -  by which time it had been renumbered as 02 0314-1. There was no documentaion with this fine image of a handsome loco but the location has been defined by Roland Hansen: "It was taken in front of the Great Inspection Hall of the Experimental/Testing and development site for machine industry in Halle/Saale (near Leipzig). The official short name was "VES-M Halle". In German this institution is called: 'Versuchs- und Entwicklungsstelle für Maschinenwirtschaft'." Roland also notes that this shot was taken between 1962 and 1965 as that was the only period during which 18 314 was coal fired AND had the horizontal stripe along the cab side. This engine, in its final form, survives to this day as a static exhibit in the ATM at Sinsheim. [Mike Morant collection]

German steam locomotive Deutsche Reichsbahn Baureihe 22 2-10-0 no. 22 028 with no date or location stated. This class was derived from the rebuilding of class 39.0-2's between 1958 and 1962 and were a rare example of a flawed pots-war German locomotive design with most withdrawn by 1968 although a few lingered on until 1971. Surprisingly, nine continued to be used as steam generators until the 1990's and five have survived to this day albeit with one being used for spare parts.
