Tender steam locomotive Saxony
It was the time of the golden twenties when the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which was founded in 1920, 
caused the great leap forward, especially in vehicle technology. The new series 86, a 70-ton and 
1000 hp construction with four driving axles and unidirectional track axles each, was particularly 
successful. With a maximum speed of 70 or they can also be used for 80 km/h and a high passenger and 
local freight transport on main lines. In 1943, 774 units of the class 86 were delivered to the 
Reichsbahn. After the end of the war, the Reichsbahn of the GDR had 164 operational class 86 
locomotives, which were mainly based in Saxony. On the sometimes difficult routes in the local low 
mountain range, they were able to impressively demonstrate their capabilities.
