The new powerful BR03 steam locomotive built from a dizzying amount of 2564 COBI blocks is 70 cm long! This magnificent express locomotive was used to pull heavy passenger trains, accelerating them to a dizzying 120 kilometers per hour. Today, it can take your breath away, completing the collection of every dedicated railway fan!

The model released by COBI is BR03 273. The locomotive is almost 70 centimeters long and is made of 2700 elements. The new large wheels intended for express locomotives immediately catch your attention. The steam locomotive has all the most important shapes of its original model reproduced. The durable construction makes the locomotive heavy, but at the same time it works perfectly. The system of rotating gears placed in the frame make the wheels connected by trusses to the steam piston rotate like on a real locomotive. Interesting design features include: a reproduced driver's cabin with a firebox, throttle and other elements important for controlling the locomotive, as well as an opening smoke box. The locomotive comes with a block tender, necessary for driving a steam locomotive. The real tender of the BR03 locomotive held 32 cubic meters of water and 10 tons of coal. The block tender is made in an interesting way because it has a removable coal load. Thanks to this, our tender can be empty or loaded with coal to the brim. The model has detailed prints showing the locomotive markings, Deutsche Reichsbahn, and the necessary technical tables.

In the standard version, you receive a figure of a Deutsche Reichsbahn driver in a classic railway uniform and six sections of straight track on which the locomotive can be displayed.

Class 03 locomotives were built in the years 1930-1938 as express train locomotives on routes where the axle load was a maximum of 18 tons. 298 units of this locomotive, the design of which was based on the class 01 locomotive, were produced by Borsig, Krupp, Henschel and Schwartzkopff. Locomotives of this type pulled the most luxurious and prestigious express trains. They were also part of several special trains, including “Amerika”. After the war, BR03 locomotives were sent to the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Democratic Republic and the Polish People's Republic.
