The Model:
Super-detailling, -livery and -lettering. Inset windows. Full interior cab details. Prototypical "daylight" between boiler and chassis. Fully operational, finely detailed Heusinger valve gear. Brake shoes between the wheels. Cast metal chassis. Motor with flywheel. Drive in tender on 4 wheels, of which all have traction tyres. Close-coupling between loco and tender. Double headlights at each end, tender end changing with direction of travel. Automatic PROFI-couplings at each end with pre-uncoupling. NEM 362 coupling socket. Close-coupling shaft on tender end for true close-coupling.

Based on:
It is well known that in the Bundesbahn era, the famous Prussian P 8 was often to be found coupled up with a tub tender. In addition though, some locos of this class could be found with the larger Prussian tender 2’2’T31.5. Just like her prototype, 38 3440, the FLEISCHMANN model bears the double headlights and Witte smoke deflectors which were often to be seen in the beginning of Epoch III.
