After 1945, when German railroads were under Allied administration, the best locomotives and cars were requisitioned to transport service personnel of the occupying powers. Members of the United States Transportation Corps (USTC), responsible for maintaining locomotives in the Kassel area, brought a part of an American railroad into their lives by decorating a well preserved class 03.10 streamlined locomotive with paint and lettering derived from teh Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.

The Minitrix USTC Train Set includes one streamlined steam locomotive, two passenger cars and one sleeping car. Special features: Locomotive comes with a plug-in socket for a DCC decoder, headlights, front and rear, long distance American headlight, close coupling between locomotive and tender, 4 axles powered and 2 traction tires. Train length is 22½"
