About the model

Novelty 2026: As the successor to the Class 170, a saturated steam locomotive with a shortened boiler and only one steam dome was developed from 1917 onwards – the Rh 270. The frame and running gear were largely adopted from the proven Class 170. The first seven locomotives were delivered by the Bohemian-Moravian Machine Factory in 1917; a total of 27 locomotives were built by the end of the First World War. From 1920 onwards, the locomotive was built in series for the BBÖ, with a total of 100 examples in service by 1922. Following the annexation of Austria, the Deutsche Reichsbahn took over the entire fleet in 1938 and designated the locomotives as 56.3401–3500. After the Second World War, 25 locomotives remained in Austria and were classified by the ÖBB as Class 156. The last locomotive was retired from the ÖBB fleet in 1968. The 156.3423, originally built as 270.125, has been preserved.
