Arnold HN2597S – DR Class 95 Heavy Tank Steam Locomotive with DCC Sound – Era III
Experience the raw power of one of Germany's most impressive mountain steam locomotives with the all-new Arnold HN2597S DR Class 95 in N Scale. Beautifully reproduced in authentic Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) Era III livery, this exceptional model captures the rugged appearance and remarkable performance of the legendary Prussian T20, later designated Class 95, a locomotive specifically designed to conquer Germany's steepest mountain routes.
Equipped from the factory with a high-quality DCC sound decoder, the HN2597S brings this iconic locomotive to life with realistic synchronized steam sounds, whistle, bell, and operating effects, delivering an immersive operating experience that will impress both collectors and operators alike.
Arnold has faithfully recreated the distinctive features of locomotive 95 021, including its rebuilt sandboxes, finely detailed running gear, separately applied piping, prototypical boiler details, and crisp Deutsche Reichsbahn lettering. Smooth slow-speed performance is provided by a precision flywheel-equipped motor, while directional LED lighting enhances the locomotive's realism during operation.
Originally built between 1922 and 1924 as the Prussian T20, the mighty Class 95 was engineered for demanding grades where extraordinary tractive effort was essential. These powerful 2-10-2T tank locomotives hauled heavy freight and passenger trains across mountainous regions for decades, becoming one of the most recognizable heavy tank locomotives in German railway history. During Era III, many continued serving the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany, where their strength and reliability made them indispensable on steep branch lines and mainline mountain routes.
