Based on: Even though the second World War decimated the stocks of the successful class 38.10-40 (Prussian P 8), the young Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) in its early days was able to call on around 1,200 engines in several variations. The FLEISCHMANN model 7166 reproduces the 100 km/h passenger loco, with its twin-domed boiler, tub tender (from the so called wartime loco, class 52) and a closed-in driver's cab. The traffic uses of these universal locos were greatly enhanced by fitting push-pull controls.
