Article No. 39790 Class 78 Steam Locomotive Every Class 78 Is Somewhat Different
Starting in 1912, the T 18 was one of the most successful German tank locomotives with its symmetrical design with three coupled wheel sets, two trucks, large fuel and water tanks, and a maximum speed of 100 km/h / 62.5 mph in both directions of travel. Road number 78 054 served as the Märklin prototype, and it was among the first deliveries of the T 18. As with almost all units, it was built in 1916 at the Stettin Vulcan Works, and it kept its Prussian curved cab roof until it was retired. However, a new boiler with three boiler domes was included in a subsequent main overhaul, thus changing the original looks of road number 78 054, as with many of its sister locomotives. As road number T 18 8411 Erf, road number 78 054 took up its duties in the Erfurt District at Naumburg, where it remained until 1926/27. Then it went to the Hamburg District, initially to Hamburg-Altona and finally, in 1936, to Hamburg Berl. Its last change of district was in March of 1948 to Hannover. There this locomotive was in use at Hannover Hgbf until 1963, and then it was briefly assigned to Hildesheim. However, soon it was put into storage and shortly thereafter was retired on July 1, 1964.
