Many thanks to all who are helping with this page. Your work in sorting out and sending these photos is building a superb record of this lovely steam locomotive that is being enjoyed by very many people throughout the world.

1940/41

What must be a very rare photo from the Robin Garn collection of 01 1100 when nearly new in 1940/41. The pacific is still completely covered by the streamline casing which was very impractical in daily use, especially in war-time. From 1942 onwards every 01.10 had the streamlining casing over the driving wheels removed which must have made day to day "running maintenance" like oiling the motion much easier.

1957

1957: June
01 1100 heads away from Bebra in July 1957 with the northbound D 167 "Riviera-Express", a train with through coaches from Italy to Hamburg. All D-trains out of Bebra heading north towards Eichenberg/Hannover with more than 475 t (class 01) or 400 t (class 03) were banked to Cornberg (12.2 kms). It is likely that the banker on the above train is a three cylinder 44 class. Photo by Carl Bellingrodt from the Robin Garn collection. 1958

1959: June 01 1100 roaring along near to Kornwestheim in June 1959. Photo from the Robin Garn collection. By 1959 the loco had been rebuilt, with it's streamlined casing removed, a new boiler fitted along with oil firing. Additionally it was now fitted with with a casted chimney and sand boxes on the circular step. For us train timers the rebuilding also saw it's original maximum speed in streamlined form of 150 km/h reduced to 140 km/h. The photo shows the pacific on train E 862, which ran from Wurzburg via Lauda, Osterburken, Heilbronn and Ludwigsburg to Stuttgart. This Page Index       1963      Main Index

The 01.10s at that time were quite new to that part of Germany and perhaps the fireman is glad that he no longer has to "hand-fire" and can enjoy the relatively smooth ride of the oil fired three-cylinder engine as compared to the rocking and rolling of a two-cylinder 03 or even P 8.

1970: February

In February 1970 Rainer Schnell, who at the time did not have a car, walked from Elmshorn station on the Westerland line to Siethwende, about 5 kms away. His walk was in a heavy snowstorm with temperatures of around -10 degrees C. But his heroic efforts were rewarded! Shortly before 012 100-4 appeared doubleheading a passenger train, it stopped snowing. But the light was very dim, and using his Yashica 6x6, set at 1/300th and f3.5, Rainer got this dramatic action shot. 1970 continued

1970: September This 5th September 1970 photo from Helmut Dahlhaus shows 012 100-4 with D 436 from Westerland crossing D 637 hauled by 012 092 on the Hindenburgdamm. At that time the Hindenburgdamm was not yet double-track all the way across from the mainland to Westerland. Helmut had travelled on D 637 all the way from Hamm. Electric traction to Hamburg and then 012 092 from there. As Helmut said when sending the photo ," What better way to start a weekend of steam photography?". I certainly can't think of a better way!

On April 18th these 012s were still working to Kiel, Westerland & Flensburg. 6 days later I went there and travelled on all those lines, not knowing I would return in the next century and enjoy so many great runs behind 012 100-4!

1973: Near Lathen on 25th June

012 100-4 heads D714, the 15.55 from Hamm to Norddeich Mole near Lathen in the early evening of 23rd June 1973. From Rheine to Emden this Schnellzug was scheduled to cover the 141 kms in 95 minutes, with 4 intermediate stops, including one of 4 minutes at Leer. That needed very fast starts and a lot of 120 km/h running, something this loco has proved it is still capable of in the 21st Century. Photo by Helmut Dahlhaus.

1973: 012 100-4 at Leer on 24th July

Helmut Boekhoff has sent his photo of 012 100-4 taken by Wolfgang Zitz at Leer in 1973. Of particular interest is the Heizer standing on the platform. This looks like our very own Fritz Wolff during one of his spells as an 012 Heizer! It's the "bobble hat" that gives the clue! 1973 continued

	Left Fritz Wolff working as a Rheine based heizer, (fireman) on the footplate of 012 100-4 during 1973. Above Thirty one years later and Fritz is still working with 012 100-4, now as a volunteer with the Rendsburger Eisenbahnfreunde.
Fritz Wolff travels on nearly all of the DB Museum/Rendsburger Eisenbahnfreunde trains hauled by 012 100-4. On many of these he is seen hard at work as the Rendsburger Eisenbahnfreunde on-train representative working alongside the DB staff. More than 30 years ago, in his student days, Fritz also worked with 012 100-4! In those days in the 1970s it was possible to get two weeks training by DB as a heizer, and then work from Rheine on the 012 pacifics. Fritz took advantage of this and spent his student holidays for several years working as a heizer. He kept records of all his trips, and in the black and white photo above those records show that he was photgraphed by a visiting English steam enthusiast enjoying a cab ride while he was working on 012 100-4.

1974: February A cold February day in 1974 saw 012 100-4 on shed at Rheine Depot. The big three cylinder, oil fired pacific still had more than a year's hard work in normal service to do. And that included the summer timetable with it's express passenger trains up the main line from Rheine to Emden and Norddeich Mole. I travelled behind the loco just once that year, on the 13th July when I caught train E1638 from Leer to Rheine. My notes show that the schedule was very easy, and without any fast speeds the train was running early or on time all the way! Photos from Jürgen Rech Page Index   1974 cont.   Main Index

1974 continued: April 2nd

Volker Siewke photographed 012 100-4, a loco he now drives regularly on the DB Museum/Rendsburger Eisenbahnfreunde trains, near Petkum on the Rheine to Emden and Norddeich Mole line. The pacific was hauling D734, the 11.07 from Norddeich Mole to Köln. 1974 continued

1974 continued: August 4th

012 100-4 leaving Norddeich Mole with D715, the 09.20 to München. This train was one of the fast runners on the line to Rheine, scheduled to cover the 114 kms, (71 miles), from Leer to Rheine in 66 minutes. Volker Siewke took the photo. 1974 continued

1974 continued: September 3rd
The scan to the right has been sent by Norbert Steinekamp. Norbert writes....When I was 14 I'd sometimes ask a driver of an 012 if if he would give me the 'Bremszettel' of the train he'd just driven. I don't know the English term but I'm sure you'll know what it is when you have a look at it. Recently my parents found a couple of these Bremszettel amongst other documents at their house. Please find in attach a scan of the Bremszettel of D 735 on September 3, 1974. On the back of the document, the number of the loco was noted with a thin pencil: 012 100-4. I thought maybe you find the document interesting...... Thanks Norbert. Yes, an interesting document about "out lok". I am not sure there is an exact English equivalent of "Bremszettel". But the document contains a calculation done by the zugfuhrer to work out the braking force of the train including loco, to help calculate the maximum safe speed.

1975: March
The photographer himself will agree these are not "master shots" of our lok. But how many other people took photos of 012 100-4 when they were just 11 years old? Well Helmut Boekhoff did, at Leer in March 1975 when this lovely pacific was heading the Eilzug 2730 Norddeich-Köln, due to leave Leer at 16.10 h. In the picture is the characteristic "late 1974/1975" 012 101-6 numberplate on our lok, which was painted over as 012 100-4. Only recently did Volker Siewke mention to Helmut that was a "speciality" of 012 100-4 in those last months of it's time in normal service. It was clear to those in the know as the special "face" of 012 100-4, because the third "0" was very bright. Thanks to Helmut Boekhoff for the photos and the notes. Does this make Helmut the youngest fan of 012 100-4 from the 1970's? If anyone else can provide proof of being a younger fan of the Dampflokstar der DB in the 1970s please send some photos etc! And does anyone know where the original front number plate of 012 100-4 went to?
1975 continued

1975: April April 1975 saw 012 100-4 on some of it's last turns in normal service between Rheine, Emden and Norddeich Mole. Top right on Friday 26th April it is seen heading a Southbound passenger train near to Lathen in dull and gloomy weather. 012 operations were due to end a month later at the end of May. In March I had made my last trip to "say goodbye" to those wonderful pacific operations. But I came back at the end of April to say goodbye again, such was the impact these lovely steam locos had on me! Right lower and on the next page 012 100-4 is seen the previous evening, the 25th April, leaving Lathen at 18.38 on the 17.40 from Rheine. Lathen was a superb place to stay. The Gasthof "Bruns" was right next to the railway line, and the food and company was always good. It was also a superb station to listen to those lovely three cylinder pacifics climbing away to the North. The evening of April 25th was no exception, as 012 100-4 made a rousing departure and then a noisy run North that could still be heard several minutes after leaving the station. April 1975 continued

Just two weeks before the end of normal 012 operation in West Germany, and Volker Siewke took this photo of 012 100-4 leaving Emden with train D714. The train had originated in München, and became the 16.50 from Rheine. It was a train much loved by English "stopwatchers" because of it's fast start to stop schedules which were nearly always met, producing as many as three "even time" runs on some days.

1975 continued: Last day in normal service

012 100-4 hauls it's last ever normal service train, (E3260), near Salzbergen on 31 May 1975. For many of us that day back in 1975 was a very sad day indeed. It was the last day of steam hauled express passenger trains in Western Europe, and the last day of normal service operation of the 012 class. Many of us thought we would never see an 012 at work again. But that was not to be, especially for 012 100-4! Photo from Jürgen Rech.

1977: Languishing in a scrap yard For very many of us who travelled behind 012 100-4 in normal steam days those 1975 views could have been the last we ever saw of her. Like so many other locos withdrawn in the 1970s she was sold off for scrap. But, as was the case in the UK in the 1960s when steam was ending, locos sent to scrap yards did not get scrapped straight away. So on May 21st 1977 Chistoph Weinkopf visited the yard at Mühlheim-Styrum and took this photo of the once proud and powerful three cylinder locomotive. In 1977 she still looked almost complete, but that wasn't the case around seven years late when the loco had still not been scrapped, but had certainly had some important parts removed.....next photo... Archive Index   1984   Main Index

1984: March

DB had sold the loco to the scrap metal industry soon after withdrawal in 1975. But in 1984 it was re-purchased by DB for use as a Museum loco. It was in very delapidated condition with the cab and other parts already scrapped. But underneath all that delapidation was a basically good loco, seen here in March 1984 outside of Offenburg Works just before it's restoration to main line condition started.

That sad looking derelict locomotive from the previous photo was transformed by Offenburg Works between March 1984 and April 1985. On April 12th the loco worked a test train to Hausach, and is seen back at Offenburg Works after that test. Jürgen Rech was present to take this, and the next photo. He wasn't the only great fan of this lovely loco to be present that day, as it is known current Rendsburger Eisenbahnfreunde member Udo tribess also travelled down to Southern Germany to see this wonderful steam locomotive back in action again.

After taking the previous photo Jürgen asked Herr Müller, the Chief of Offenburg Works, for the loco to move in front of the main repair shop.

Not surprisingly for a loco that was to become so famous, Jürgen Rech was not the only 012 enthusiast present on that April day in 1985.

2000: April
On April 3rd 2000 012 100-4 was at Meiningen Works, having been out of service for over a year. At this time the loco was owned by DB Reise und Touristik who did not have the finance for the general overhaul needed. But the Rendsburger Eisenbahnfreunde were able to raise the money and with DB Museum were soon to see the loco under overhaul for a return to service in May 2001. Photo and notes from Jürgen Rech. 2001

Peter Krause took this photo of 012 100-4 on May 20th 2004, when the loco was hauling the Schimmelreiter to Westerland. The location is the curve north of Lunden, which is one of only few stations on the Hamburg - Westerland - route that still have the old mechanically operated signals in use.
