Hobbyboss 1/72 German Kriegslokomotive Br52 2-10-0 WW2 Locomotive (82901)

A detailed kit to build a model of the German Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR) WW2 design Kriegslok Br52 2-10-0. These War Locomotives were a simplifiied version of the previous DR 2-10-0 design, making the Br52 quicker and simplier to build, needing less expensive materials and less skilled labour. The Br52 was widely used across Europe after the war, many surviving until replaced by diesel locomotives.

Painting instructions are included for wartime and post-war DB paint schemes.

Glue and paints are required to assemble and complete the model (not included).

The great need for locomotives in Germany during the second world war explains the explosion in production. First of all construction of classes 44, 50 and 86 was simplified, and orders for other types of locos were cancelled. 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, with an axle load of 15 tonnes and a maximum speed of 80 km/h ( 44 mph ) forwards or backwards, as good as the Class BR 50. Significant quantities of materials and manpower were able to be reduced further reducing their cost
