After thorough research and some inquiries, we decided to also offer the BR 80 in the 7 1/4 inch gauge. The smaller sales market and also the increased raw material prices require an exact calculation.
Nevertheless, we have managed to offer this small but powerful machine at an attractive sales price.
Subject to sufficient demand, this model will go into production in May 2024.
Planned delivery, 4th quarter 2024.
A down payment of € 3,000 will be due when making an advance order. A further payment of € 5.000,-- will be due at the beginning of the production of the single piece ordered by the customer. The rest will be due upon delivery.
The prototype
These locomotives, built in a number of 39 units, were mainly used in shunting and transfer service and at the RAG even in colliery service until the end of the 1970s.
The model
BR 80 039 Era III and Era II
RAG D 727 No. 14 Era IV
The prototype of our model was built in 1929 as the last "80" at Hohenzollern.
On request, we will also deliver the locomotives with other road numbers.
In order to guarantee the best possible quality and reliability, we accompany the development from the CAD design to the personal acceptance of each individual locomotive.
The class 80 will be produced in a unique and limited series.

Starting with the construction, continuing with the delivery and beyond, we do everything to maintain the trust of our customers.
With this model, you get a handy little locomotive, at an unbeatable price-performance ratio. After more than 12 years of experience in the commercial live steam sector and the delivery of more than 100 locomotives in all gauges, in Germany alone, we have acquired the corresponding experience. Also with the new BR 80, our principle is to bring the fun of playing in line with the price and the lasting quality.
