Saxonia replica, Dresden Altstadt depot Replica of the historical steam locomotive 'Saxonia', shown on an exhibition at the Dresden Altstadt depot. The original locomotive was built by Johann Andreas Schubert. Schubert had been inspired by the English-built locomotive, Comet, procured for the LDE, and he analysed and improved on what he saw. He used the same dimensions but, unlike Comet, two coupled axles were driven, therefore providing increased tractive force, and a carrying axle was added at the back to improve ride qualities.

Saxonia replica, Verkehrsmuseum Dresden Replica of the historical steam locomotive 'Saxonia', exhibited at the Verkehrsmuseum Dresden. It was the first practical working steam locomotive built in Germany. Its name means Saxony in Latin. On 11 October 1985, a working group was established by the East German government's Ministry of Transport for the construction of a replica of the locomotive. The aim was for its inaugural journey to form part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the opening of the first German long-distance railway from Leipzig to Dresden on 8 April 1989. On 1 October 1988 the new locomotive was fired up for the first time at Raw Halle. 14 days later it demonstrated it was fully operational during a trial run to Eisleben. On the handover journey on 12 January 1989 it even attained a speed of 70 km/h between Halle and Leipzig, as well as demonstrating smooth riding qualities and good steam generation.

Saxonia replica, boiler Boiler of the 'Saxonia' replica, exhibited at the Verkehrsmuseum Dresden since 2011. The design and manufacture of the replica boiler was entrusted to the VEB Dampfkesselbau Übigau in Dresden. For this firm it was a special honour, almost exactly 150 years after it had produced the original boiler, to be asked to deliver its modern replica. All other components for the Saxonia were, by contrast, given to various Deutsche Reichsbahn facilities. Photo taken Sunday 26 May 2013. Photo: Steffen Mokosch (Steffen.Mokosch@web.de) |

Dampflokfest Dresden, 30 April 2000
Reproductions of Germany's first steam locomotives, SAXONIA (J. A. Schubert 1839, Leipzig - Dresden) and ADLER (G. Stephenson 1935, Nürnberg - Fürth). The Saxonia is a lot bigger as it was intended to haul "express" trains over a relatively long line. Buffers and couplers are incompatible, these were only standardized a lot later.
