Additional information

Freight Locomotive with Tub-Style Tender. Former German State Railroad Company (DRG) class 52. With built-in DELTA module. Metal boiler. 5 axles powered. 4 traction tires. Driving wheels divided into 2 coupled groups enabling unit to negotiate sharp curves. Electronic reverse unit. Length over buffers 26.7 cm (10-3/8").

Due to war-related limitations and the increasing difficulties in obtaining raw materials, the building of the class 50 was stopped in 1942. The class 52 came into being as a simplified version. With the 6,161 mostly gray units delivered from 1942 to 1945, this class became the German class locomotive built in the largest numbers.

This item was produced as a one-time series only in 1994.
