Lets be a little bit more specific

 

Class 08

Engines with numbers from 08.01 to 08.08 look like the german class 17.3 or Bavarian type C V.

BR 17.3

Scale models of the  BR17.3 (bay CV) where made by Micro Metakit and Finescale München HO and N gauges.

 

 

The second group of locomotives from class 08 with numbers from 08.09 to 08.20 corespond to German 38.0 (Bavarianт P3/5N)

BR38.0 (bay. P 3/5 N)

 

Up to this moment we are not aware of a mass production model of these locomotives. They are often mistaken with models of other subseries, for example with models of BeckmannTT's BR38.2-3 (Saxon XII H2) or HO gauge Piko and Fleishmann models.

 

Class 12

These locomotives corespond to BR58.28. There is no known model.

For class 13 we have a lot of available models in different gauges from gauge 1 to Z. In НО scale the BR58 was produced by Roco, Rivarossi as well as from Lemaco. In ТТ was made by Kittler, N by Minitrix.
