DR BR 52/TY2 Steam Locomotive (1723 pcs)

The set with a clamp building block model of the German DR BR 52 steam locomotive / Ty2 from the Second World War is part of the completely new "Trains" collection from COBI. The construction made of clamping bricks faithfully reproduces the body, proportions and details of the legendary steam locomotive, which is probably the most popular and best-known for all railroad enthusiasts worldwide. The 2-in-1 special edition contains up to two different sets of additional blocks with which you can build a model of the German DR BR 52 locomotive with German markings from the Second World War or a locomotive with Polish markings from the Polish State Railways from the Second World War - post-war period of the People's Republic of Poland. In addition to various terminal bricks with different symbols, numbering and markings, the set also includes modified, larger front and rear lights for the Polish design, selected bricks in different colors and two different figures: a German engine driver from the Second World War and a Polish engine driver in the post-war PKP uniform with a characteristic national emblem - the Polish eagle with the royal crown removed by the communists.
The locomotive model on a scale of 1:35 has detailed details such as: symbols, numbering and lettering, as well as numerous "clock" imprints in the engine room of the locomotive. Thanks to the easily removable roof of the engine room, you can take a look at the faithfully reproduced equipment used to power the vehicle. Attention has also been paid to details such as the imitation of burning coal in the chimney!
As with a real steam locomotive, the entire wheel mechanism is coupled together so that it moves simultaneously. Inside the model are cogwheels that form a complex mechanism that ensures realistic movement of the wheels and the entire drive. Simply push the model carefully to move the entire system.

As many as four different wheel designs of the locomotive, some of which contain rims, i.e. special edges, make the model good on block tracks and overcomes block curves with an inclination scale from R88. It is worth mentioning that the model is fully compatible, i.e. it fits the tracks of other terminal block brands.

The set includes two interchangeable plates with the name of the locomotive, to choose from: German BR 52 and Polish Ty2. The COBI company has also produced its own form of terminal block imitating a fragment of the track. The set contains five such sections with a total length of approx. 65 cm. The track is made using a modern two-color injection molding technique, which means that each individual section, about 13 cm long, is an element - a monolith - made of two different colors of plastic that are joined together. The rails in the color grey steel stand out clearly against the very realistic brown railroad sleepers. There are no visible tenons (studs) on each sleeper, which enhances their realism, and each of them is covered with a board structure, i.e. an imitation of wood grain. Tracks can be attached to building boards and have a technical hole, thanks to which you can permanently attach the track to the railroad diorama, e.g. with a screw or nail.
This set is the perfect gift for every history and railroad enthusiast.
Build history, brick by brick!

The BR 52 or Ty2 or Ty42 is a German-built freight steam locomotive that was produced in many European factories between 1942 and 1945. It was a very cheap, simple but very reliable steam locomotive. In Poland, more than 1,200 of these vehicles were used in the Polish State Railways after the Second World War. The locomotive could pull freight trains with a total weight of up to 620 tons at a speed of 80 km/h or 1,700 tons at a speed of 50 km/h. The locomotive was also used many times to pull passenger trains.
