Yup, that's a better download for most people. Readme and stats is fine. !*th_up*!

I'll give this one a good run when I have time.

Actually, the 015 was not a DB, but an in-house DR rebuild of prewar 01's between 1962 and 1965, partly to compensate for the loss of the stronger, 3-cylinder version, that remained entirely in the west. The download provided here by DTL98 with its improved performance looks more like and should be correctly designated as the latter, class 0110.
A major visual difference is the "Skyliner" dome casing on top of the boiler, as depicted here. https://www.dampflokomotivarchiv.de/ind ... position=1
Some class members boasted also "Boxpok" wheels and altered smoke deflectors

Just got around to looking at that linked article and doing some reading, as well as checking out the photos. It would be easy to make a model that actually looked like an 01.5. Interesting that about half of them were oil burners too. Another easy change to model and skin, and would provide something a bit more different. Boxpok wheels would also be easy enough to skin, but apparently they were only fitted to 8 of the class and were later reverted to spoked wheels anyway.
