Kriegslokomotive BR52 locomotive with 1/35 Trumpeter tender

The great need for locomotives in Germany during the Second World War explains the explosion in production. First, the construction of the 44, 50 and 86 series was simplified and orders for other types of locomotives were cancelled. The best locomotive of the war was the BR 50 series. The construction of the BR 52 series was not planned in any construction program, let alone the 1939 one. In 1941, the need for a new, simpler type was felt. With an axle load of 15 tons and a maximum speed of 80 km/h (44 mph) in forward or reverse, these machines became as powerful as the BR 50 series. Significant quantities of materials and labour could be reduced, further reducing their cost.
