Description:

The BR 86 was a standard goods train tank locomotive with the German National Railway (Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft). It was intended for duties on branch lines and was delivered by almost all the locomotive building firms working for the Reichsbahn. From 1942 it was built in a simplified version as a ‘transitional war locomotive’. The most obvious changes were the omission of the second side windows in the cab and the solid disc carrying wheels.
