Preußische EG 507/508 (DRG E70)

Description
History

In 1910, the Prussian State Railway ordered ten locomotives with the wheel arrangement D for the covering of local freight trains for the network of Berlin urban, ring and suburban railways intended for electrification. Until the outbreak of the First World War, the contracted companies BMAG and MSW delivered two locomotives with the designation EG 507 and EG 508. Due to the First World War, no further locomotives could be delivered. The KPEV used the locomotives until 1914 on the Dessau-Bitterfeld line. After the cessation of electrical operation as a result of the war, they were transferred to Silesia for operation on the route Niedersalzbrunn -Halbstadt in freight traffic. The locomotive was there only a makeshift solution, since the ordered locomotives (Prussian EC 538abc to EG 549abc (later E 91.3) could not yet be delivered.) After the spread of electrical operation, they also operated on other electrified routes in Silesia The test rides were lowered from 70 km / h to 50 km / h, which indicates that the locomotive was not satisfying, and after the ordered freight locomotives appeared on the Silesian network, both locomotives were transferred to Munich, where they provided shunting services at various stations E 70 07 was retired there in 1928 and the E 70 08 1938.

Mod

This is a repaint of the mod made by Bandion of the Modwerkstatt team. The textures are 4K and feature weathering mechanics. Also contained in this mod are assets of all versions - clean & dirty and a special one that looks like it has been out of commission for years.

Because of this the mod is way bigger than the original mod. So, if you like the model but want a more performance friendly version of it, visit the Modwerkstatt site: https://modwerkstatt.com/

Credits & donations

Again a big thanks to the guys of the Modwerkstatt team (and Bandion in particular) for allowing me to do and publish this repaint.

All the repaints I make, I do in my spare time for the fun of it. You can, must and are encouraged to use them freely and without charge. However, if you like my work and want to help keep my rig updated and my daily allowance of McNuggets guaranteed:

Hello son. The reduction of speed definitely does not mean not satisfiying performance... Yes, there could have been excessive vibrations but the main reason is braking. Freight trains without air break were operated to max speed of 50 km/h. Even slower when the train was underbraked due to low amount of cars with handbraker post.
