Steam locomotive 24 004 of the railway company of the German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Reichsbahn).

■ Nicknamed the “Steppenpferd”
■ Design with Wagner smoke deflectors
■ Model with a tightly soldered decoder built-in from factory

The class 24 was mainly intended for passenger trains. However, due to its sturdy construction, its field of operations was soon expanded to light goods trains, and this made it a reliable multi-purpose locomotive for lighter services.
