Märklin 039535 - Steam locomotive class 52

Model Details

It was the most widely produced European locomotive type and the product of a terrible conflict: the German Class 52 war locomotive. Over 7,000 of these locomotives left the workshops of many renowned locomotive factories starting in 1942. It was a simplified yet robust five-coupled tender locomotive, suitable for a wide range of applications. Typical of most series was the self-supporting tub tender, which was manufactured in large numbers to save material. Less well-known, but equally distinctive and widespread with over 1,000 examples, was the Vienna rigid-frame tender. In this design, the wheelsets were rigidly mounted in a frame, while the tub tender, like most other tender types, ran on bogies. Now, the Class 52 is practically a must-have for model railroaders to recreate this important chapter of German railway history on a small scale. The new Märklin model with its rigid-frame tender is a real eye-catcher thanks to its unusual appearance and technology, and an ideal addition to any Class 52 locomotive collection on your home model railway.
