Trumpeter 00210 1/35 Kriegslokomotive BR52 WWII  [TP00210]

The truly amazing need for locomotives in Germany throughout the second world war explains the explosion in manufacturing. First construction of classes 44, 50 and 86 had been simplified, and requests for other kinds of locos were terminated. The greatest loco of this war was the class BR 50? The construction associated with the Class BR 52 wasn't foreseen in just about any construction program, never mind compared to 1939. In 1941 the necessity for a brand new simpler type ended up being apparent. These machines became, with an axle load of 15 tonnes and a maximum rate of 80 km/h (44 miles per hour) forwards or backwards, as good as the Class BR 50. Significant quantities of materials and manpower had the ability to be reduced further reducing their cost.
