Rivarossi 1339 HO gauge DB BR 10 streamlined steam loco in black livery:
$181.85

This really nice and rare HO gauge loco by Rivarossi is 1339 a DB BR 10 steam locomotive in black livery with running number 10 002.

The steam locomotives of DB Class 10 were express locomotives with the Deutsche Bundesbahn in Germany after the Second World War. They were nicknamed \'Black Swans\' (\'schwarze Schwäne\') as a result of their elegant shape.

These newly designed locomotives were built by the firm of Krupp and delivered to the DB in 1957. The two examples of this class were given operating numbers 10 001 and 10 002. They had originally been seen as a replacement for the DRG Class 01 and Class 01.10. However, as a result of their late delivery this plan did not come to fruition. Both engines were designed to greatly reduce maintenance and repair costs.

They had a conical smokebox door and partial streamlining which protected the cylinders from dirt and from cooling too rapidly and, at the same time, was supposed to reduce wind resistance. The fully welded boiler was the same as the newly designed one used to re-equip the DRG Class 01.10 from 1953.

Locomotive 10 002 was retired after a side rod broke in January 1967 and number 10 001 was retired on 27 June 1968.

No. 10 001 may be viewed at the German Steam Locomotive Museum (Deutsche Dampflokomotiv-Museum) in Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg. No. 10 002 was scrapped in 1972

The loco is in good condition as you can see in the pictures, it is tested and runs, a complete external visual inspection has shown the overall condition is very good. 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 my other listings, I typically have various HO and OO locos on offer as well as an extensive range of imported N gauge locos and other items.

Note: I 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!).
