*Frieda is a German streamlined tender engine who participated in the Great Railway Show. She was a contender in the strongest engine competition.
Frieda is a sleek, blue streamlined engine from Germany. Aside from being described as beautiful and strong, she can show to prove that anything the boys can do, the girls could do better. Frieda is also a rather grumpy engine, who does not smile much, and does not suffer fools gladly.
Frieda is based on the DB Class 10 built by Krupp in 1957. They were built to pull express passenger trains with the Deutsche Bundesbahn after the Second World War. The class was nicknamed 'Black Swans' ('Schwarze Schwäne') because of their shaping.
One of the two locomotives, 10 001 is preserved at the German Steam Locomotive Museum in Neuenmarkt-Wirsberg.
Frieda is painted blue with yellow and redlining and red wheels. She has the number "409" painted on the sides of her tender in red, and the German flag painted on both the sides of her streamlined casing and tender.*
