DRB Class 52 Steam Locomotive 2470

A block model set of the German DR BR 52 Steam locomotive/Ty2 from World War II announces a completely new "Trains" collection from COBI. The block design faithfully reproduces the body, proportions and details of the legendary steam locomotive, which is probably the most popular and most recognizable for all railway vehicles in the world. The exclusive Executive Edition 2-in-1 includes two different sets of additional bricks that allow you to build a model of the German DR BR 52 locomotive with German markings from World War II or a locomotive with Polish markings of the Polish State Railways from the post-war period of the People's Republic of Poland. In addition to various bricks with different symbols, numbering and markings, the set also includes larger front and rear lamps for the Polish construction, selected bricks in different colors, as well as two different figures: a German train driver from the Second World War and a Polish train driver in the post-war PKP uniform with a characteristic state emblem (the Polish eagle with the royal crown removed by the communists).

The locomotive model was designed in 1:35 scale and features numerous details like symbols, numbering, markings and numerous prints inside the engine room of the locomotive. Thanks to the easily removable roof of the engine room, you can look inside to see the faithfully reproduced details of the devices and instruments used to drive the vehicle. You can even see burning coal in the fire box!

As with a real steam locomotive, the entire engine and tender is coupled together in such a way that it moves simultaneously. Inside the model there are gears forming a complex mechanism ensuring realistic movement of the wheels and the entire drive. Just gently push the model to move the whole locomotive.
