A total of 231 locomotives where built by German company’s across Germany. The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft’s BR 01 steam locomotives were the first standardized (Einheitsdampflokomotive) steam express passenger locomotives. In this article both Enrico and Simon Jakobi (Dr Snotson on Flickr) will take a look through the history and use of the BR 01 and BR 01 10 and show their models which represent these iconic locomotives. Both the BR 01 and BR 01 10 where used right up to the end of steam service in both West-Germany and East-Germany. The BR 01 10 was also a part of the standardized locomotives, but it was a 3-cylinder version of the BR 01. The author's website () has more info on these trains.The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft’s BR(Baureihe) 01 steam locomotives were the first standardized (Einheitsdampflokomotive) steam express passenger locomotives built by the German railway. Here is one recent video that I found interesting. You are not the first one to attempt this, though, a quick Google search showed several images and videos of LEGO trains running on G-scale track. LEGO's assortment of train wheels is limited (only a few sizes), but you might want to check out Big Ben Bricks' Custom Train wheel collection for additional sizes. how many bricks wide is G-scale track, and how do flange and thread dimensions of wheels work on G-scale rails. You will have to experiment a bit with sizing, e.g.


Some of the train elements you want to take a look at are Wheels, Magnetic Couplings and Axles, which form the basis of any train and/or wagon. More details on the LEGO L-Gauge can be found here(). I assume you are aware of the existence of LEGO Trains such as 60052 Cargo Train? The scale of these trains is not directly compatible with LGB's G-scale (the LEGO scale is sometimes referred to as L-Scale or L-Gauge) but many of the train elements can be used for building different scales. The beauty of LEGO is that you can create virtually anything with it.
