The BR50 was developed from 1937 onwards as a powerful goods hauling “standard” locomotive for use on branch lines. With a total of 3164 locomotives, produced by almost all German builders beetween 1938 and 1945, the BR50 was one of the most widely used steam locomotive classes in Germany. Due to the war, the last series was technically simplified and designated BR50 UK (Umbau Kriegslokomotive). The BR50 was developed to replace obsolete steam locomotives on branch lines. At 16t, the low axle load of the BR50 made it suitable for universal use. HO/1:87 Scale

This kit includes 33 high quality injection-moulded plastic parts which can be assembled into a 19 cm-long railway track section with a buffer stop at the end.

The track gauge is standard.

The track section may be given either a straight or arched shape: the beam that joins the sleepers and the tabs between them allow for easy bending the tracks to an arched shape and preserving this without using glue.

This Level 5 model kit with 136 parts offers a real challenge for experienced model builders aged 13 and over.

The BR03 is a beautifully designed express locomotive that will be an eye-catcher in any collection.
