BR89.2

This is a BR 89.2 by Piko, one of the few pre-‘90 models that were significantly improved. 

The Sächsische V T originally built by the Sächsische Staatsbahn (Royal Saxon State Railways). When the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) formed, these engines were reclassified as the DR Class 89 (specifically DR-Baureihe 89.2). A total of 154 locomotives of the Class V T were built, extensive modifications to the design were made during this period. 

89 262 (built by Hartmann in 1901) in its final home base of Zwickau (Saxony). In 1923, the Deutsche Reichsbahn incorporated the Saxon Class V T into its numbering system as Class 89.2. Twenty-five locomotives of this class survived World War II and remained in shunting service with the East German DR until the 1960s. The last unit, 89 262, was withdrawn from service on June 23, 1966. None of the locomotives were preserved.
