Bauriehe BR 52 Steam Locomotive with Tender 1/35 Trumpeter

The great need for locomotives in Germany during the second World War explains the explosion in production. The best loco of the war was the class BR 50. The construction of the Class BR 52 was not foreseen in any construction program, never mind that of 1939. In 1941 the need for a new simpler type was apparent. These machines became as good as the Class BR 50, with an axle load of 15 tons and a maximum speed of 80 km/h (44 mph) forwards or backwards. Significant quantities of materials and manpower were able to be reduced, further lowering their production cost.

Please see the paint guide below for Trumpeter’s suggested colors.
