Why this kit matters
The Bavarian S 3/6 is widely regarded as one of the finest steam locomotives built in Germany. Introduced in the early 20th century, it was designed for fast express passenger services and became known for its smooth running and elegant proportions.
After the formation of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, many S 3/6 locomotives were reclassified as BR 18.5 and continued in service for decades. Their long operational life and strong performance made them a benchmark for steam locomotive design, which is why they remain a popular subject in railway scale modelling.
