Train Simulator: DR BR 44 Loco Add-On PC kaufen

Recreate the power of the DR BR 44 steam locomotive in this Train Simulator add-on. First built in 1926 for hauling massive freight over steep hills, the "Jumbo" boasts a 2-10-0 wheel setup that pulls up to 1,200 tonnes on gradients or 600 tonnes on steeper tracks. Operate coal, coal dust, and oil-fired variants across clean and weathered DR and DB Red and Black liveries, complete with differing cabs, tenders, and functional bunkers. Drive detailed wagons like DB Tdgs for wheat with animated covers and DR or CSD Ucx for coal dust, plus simulated I60 systems, priming, boiler explosions, and openable hatches. Tackle three Career scenarios on the Berlin-Leipzig route, such as wheat hauls to distilleries, coal dust runs, and towing a fellow BR 44. Simulation fans who love authentic heavy freight duties will find endless replay with Quick Drive and Steam Workshop scenarios.

First appearing in 1926, the DR BR 44 was designed to haul heavy goods over steep gradients, and now you can recreate historic action aboard the “Jumbo”!

In their early days, relatively few BR 44 steam locomotives were built (only 10 in fact); it wasn’t until the late 1930s that rising demands necessitated a larger fleet of heavy freight locomotives – and the 44 seemed like the best design for the job. Their 2-10-0 wheel arrangement meant they weren’t very fast, but had a high tractive effort, which meant they were able to haul up to 1,200 tonnes at any one time while also working in hilly regions, or 600 tonnes on even steeper rails.

The BR 44 fleet quickly expanded, and with the onset of the Second World War, hundreds were produced. By the end of their production run in 1949, there were almost 2,000 in service. It was down to their numbers that they became one of the most common sights on heavy freight duties, and such would remain true until the arrival of diesel and electric traction.

Nicknamed the “Jumbos” by those who worked on them, the DR BR 44 saw European-wide use later in their life with examples transferring to Poland, Austria, France and Czechoslovakia. Despite their vast numbers, only a handful survived into preservation with only 2 still operational.
