Operating instructions
Electric locomotive BR E77 – HO
From 1925 onwards, the German State Railway procured steam
locomotives according to standardized construction principles. The so-
called 'standard design locomotives' are generally known. Far less railway
enthusiasts know that a first electric locomotive design programme existed
as early as 1922. It catered for the procurement of classes E06, E16, E32,
E52, E77, E79 and E91. With 56 units, the E77 was the most important
locomotive of this programme. The first E77 was delivered in 1924. It was
planned to use the E77 as multi-purpose locomotive which was to pull
both freight as well as passenger trains in the Bavarian and Prussian
railway network. The locomotive which was originally designated EG3
was a design of the Berliner Maschinenbau AG. With a split running gear
and a bodywork divided into three, a good radial movement of axles was
to be achieved. One 20-point motor each transmitted its momentum to
the two 1400 mm diameter driving axles via a Winterthur bias rod drive.
Ex works the machines were taken to the German State Railway admini-
strative units Munich (loco depot Munich main station) and Halle (loco
depot Leipzig West, Roßlau, Wahren, Halle P). In Munich they were
exclusively used in front of freight trains, in Halle they were used as multi-
purpose locomotives, as originally planned. As the running behaviour was
rated unsatisfactory, Munich handed over all E77 locomotives to Halle in
1943. In 1946 they were transported to the USSR. Only in 1955 did the
last units return. 10 of these were reconditioned and were in use until
1966. The E7710, called 'Elli', is the last remaining operational locomotive.
It belongs to the Traffic Museum in Dresden.
