Product Features and Details
All 30 locomotives survived the second world war, with differing degrees of damage. Some of the locomotives had been transferred to the Passau depot in Bavaria during the war, and one was actually found in Czechoslovakia. However, all of them were returned to the main depot in Stuttgart. After undergoing the necessary repairs and maintenance work, all 30 locomotives were taken over by the DB. When the situation returned to normal, i. e. the original administrative borders were reinstated in 1953, the locomotives were assigned to the Stuttgart-Rosenstein (16), Kornwestheim (7), Tübingen (4) and Freudenstadt (3) depots. Their operational assignments remained unchanged: they were predominantly used for shunting at the large stations. Until 1956, this distribution and operational assignment remained much the same. After then, however, the BR 94.1 rapidly declined in popularity. In 1956, the first locomotives were taken off the repair schedule and put out of service. At the beginning of 1959 there were still 19 locomotives at the Aalen, Freudenstadt, Plochingen, Stuttgart and Tübingen depots. However, they were then rapidly taken out of service and, only two years later, the 94 109 and the 94 113 were the last two to be decommissioned. Unfortunately, no Tn locomotives survived and, in 1961, they were still too 'young' to be museum locomotives.
