The class 18.4 alias 18.5 is still a familiar name to every railway fan today. Before the takeover by the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft, the locomotives were called Bavarian S3/6.

The express steam locomotive was built a total of 159 times by Maffei in Munich-Allach between 1908 and 1931 and was used by the Royal Bavarian State Railway. The Bavarian Stars were delivered in 15 series (a-o). Except for the series d and e, which had a driving wheel diameter of 2,000mm, the S3/6 had a driving wheel diameter of 1,870mm. This had a favourable effect on the driving behaviour, so that the machine could be used both in the lowlands and in the mountains. The maximum speed was 120km/h. All locomotives of the series a-i were procured by the Royal Bavarian State Railway, these were designated 18.4 under the DRG in 1920. The last series k-o were finally ordered by the newly founded Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft and designated 18.5.

Class 18.4-5 are famous for their service in front of the FFD Rheingold and the Orient Express, they also carried the East End Vienna Express, Alpen-Nordsee-Express and the Paris-Prague Express.

They confidently completed long-distance journeys of 820 kilometres without exhausting themselves, e.g. from Hamburg and Munich.

Since the engine was implemented as realistically as possible, the model requires a minimum radius of R56. The model can be motorised with an L- and traction motor, battery box and receiver find their place in the tender as usual.

In addition, a steam module can be installed, which you can purchase here: www.joooooy.com
