Die Baureihe 23 - Die letzte Neubau-Dampflokomotive der DB
The 23 series occupies a special position among the new steam locomotives of the German Bundesbahn in many ways: With 105 units, the 23 is by far the most built DB new steam locomotive and remained in scheduled service the longest, from 1950 to 1975. With the delivery of 23 105 as the last DB steam locomotive, this series also marks the end point of development.
Although designed as a pure passenger train locomotive, the 23 was able to prove itself as a "makeshift express train locomotive" at several railway depots by the end of the 1950s and advanced into performance ranges that had previously been reserved for the large-wheeled 01 and 03.
Even today, 73 years after its appearance, five locomotives of the 23 series are still in operation at various heritage railway associations - proof of the solidity of the series.
In this EK Baureihe-series book, Frank Lüdecke creates a multifaceted panorama of this remarkable and popular DB steam locomotive. The history of its creation spans a fascinating arc from the technology, the test runs, the operational machine service, the numerous design changes and the life cycles to the use in the railway depots and today's museum locomotives.
Over 600 carefully selected, mostly unpublished illustrations on 344 pages illustrate the use of this special creation of German steam locomotive construction.
