Only one copy of the series was produced. In 1938, Mallard, one of his new high-speed engines, set a world record for a steam locomotive of 203kph (126mph). In the color scheme, it was decided for a medium green paint. The steam locomotive has an output of 1160 kW, a length over buffers of 25,145 mm and a service mass of 113, 6 t. The 18 201 series also originated from the outer cylinders of the test locomotive H 45 024 and the Rekokessel used for the 03.10 and the 44 468 tender. Steam Locomotive DRG Class 18 201 was built from the chassis of the Henschel Wegmann locomotive 61 002, which dragged after 1945 for a short time special trains and the special car of the Minister of Transport before it was converted into the steam locomotive Class 18 201. In general one could say: everything had already happened, but unique in this composition. Existing and proven assemblies have been assembled. This includes the time needed for the train to accelerator and to stop. According to the 1997 Guinness Book of World Records, the French TGV had the highest average speed from one station to the next of 253 kph (157 mph). Among them is the legendary Mallard, which still holds the record for the fastest steam locomotive in the world after hitting 126mph at Stoke Bank, near Grantham on the East Coast main line in. Built in 1932 by the Great Northern, they were by far the heaviest, fastest, and. To be able to test passenger cars for export with 160 km / h top speed, the Reichsbahn needed a suitable locomotive. The fastest steam locomotive was the A4 ‘Mallard’ 4-6-2 and could reach 125 or 126 mph. The class O-8 Mikados of the Great Northern are the easy winners of this type. The start of World War II ended such record attempts, and Mallard is still officially the fastest ever steam locomotive. 10 established a world speed record for the narrow 3 foot 6 inch (1067 mm) gauge. AT & SF 3463 Featuring a gas-producer combustion system, improved steam circuit, modernized boiler, low-maintenance running gear and steam-powered electric generator (to power the passenger train), CSR anticipates 3463 will be able to pull a passenger train with electric-like performance for less than the cost of diesel-electric locomotives. The steam locomotive DRG was built in 1961 in the Reichsbahnausbesserungswerk Meiningen as the last steam locomotive produced in Germany.
