This model has all the features of the 21811. Plus, it features the original sound of this Harz loco, which allows reproducing the prototypical sounds of this steam locomotive. With the LGB Multi-Train System, you can remotely trigger the exhaust chuffs, the squealing of the brakes, bell and whistle. The sound of the crew shoveling coal and the auxiliary sounds of the cylinders can be reproduced as well as a station announcement.

ndardizing DR steam locos, numerous parts were shared with other locomotive classes. For example, the new loco used the slightly modified boiler of the standard gauge class 81. Of the planned series, only three locomotives were built by Berliner Maschinenbau AG (successors of L. Schwarzkopf). They operated on the Eisfeld-Schönbrunn line in Thuringia. Two of these locos were transferred to Norway during World War II, where they later were scrapped. The third locomotive, the 99 222, remained in Thuringia until that line was closed in 1966. Then the loco was transferred to the Harzquerbahn.
Here, the powerful locomotive has been very successful. In the 1950s, it served as prototype for 17 new narrow gauge steam locomotives that since then have hauled the bulk of the traffic in the Harz Mountains. And the original 99 222 continues to pull regular trains. For a while, it was numbered 99 7222-5 until its old number was returned after yet another rebuild. For steam enthusiasts, experiencing this massive locomotive on the three-percent grades of the picturesque Harzquerbahn line is a unique and unforgettable experience.
