The German DRG Class 71.0 was a 2-4-2T locomotive with the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which was intended as a replacement for railbuses.
Originally it had been planned for these standard engines (Einheitsloks) to haul fast passenger trains.
The two-cylinder superheated engines were equipped with automatic underfeed stokers for one-man operation.
The second coupled wheelset was driven and the carrying wheels rested in Bissel axles.
The Deutsche Bundesbahn took over all the engines after the Second World War and allocated them to the locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk or Bw) in Nuremberg.
