Description Steam Locomotive BR 064 – HO Water tanks are riveted. Pipes on the boiler are free-standing. Fine metal wheel sets. Leading and trailing wheel sets with disc wheels and drive wheels are spoked. This is a DC Powered locomotive with an 8-pin interface for decoders. **From 1928 onwards, a total of 520 Class 64 locomotives were put into service. The 90 km/h locomotives were built on the design principle of the standard steam locomotives, which made it easier to supply spare parts. The locomotives were mainly used on branch lines and to transport passenger trains and light freight trains. At the time of the changeover to computer numbers on January 1, 1968, the German Federal Railway still had 52 units in its maintenance inventory. In contrast to the DR locomotives, which were mainly used in the northern lowlands, the 64s of the Federal Railway were used exclusively south of the Main line after 64 446 was transferred from the Hamburg-Rothenburgsort depot to the Plattling depot on 30 April 1966. **Retrieved from Roco website
