[MOC] "War-Locomotive" DR BR 52 - Bricks-on-Rails

[Bricks-on-Rails]

Good evening, everyone,

Today I would like to present you our model of the German "war locomotive DR BR 52" of the "Deutsche Reichsbahn". This is a tender locomotive, of which more than 7000 units have been built since 1942. It is often called a war locomotive, because it was designed and built especially for war conditions and the resulting shortage of raw materials. Even after the war, these locomotives were still in use for a long time, distributed throughout Europe. The retirement of the Deutsche Bahn took place in 1962.

The model can be powered by two Power-Functions L-motors. Both engines and the infrared receiver are installed in the boiler. The battery box finds place in the tub tender. The locomotive consists of approx. 1218 components and is approx. 64 studs long. The model has some details, such as the undercarriage, the superstructure on the boiler or the striking tub tender. Various SNOT techniques were used during construction.

Have fun watching and many greetings

Wow, I love your shaping, and the details on both the footplate and the coal hopper. Also very impressed by the low part count - all my engines wind up around 2000 pieces.

How did you get the front window to angle in?

Thank you, just like that.

I miss this beauty in my collection of BR German steam engines!

You've done a great work and the final result is absolutely impressive (the tender is a jewel)

You've created a masterpiece!

Instantly recognisable, I love it. I wonder how much the parts will be...

Thank you very much. It is always difficult to estimate the costs. Regardless of the origin, Bricklink gives me a price of about 230€.

With kind regards

Thank you very much, Martin. I'll put this on my wish list for my next trip to Germany.
