PIKO 50800 - Steam locomotive Tr12 PKP III + DSS PluX22

Model Details

New for 2026: Between 1897 and 1919, Austrian locomotive manufacturers delivered over 830 Class 170 locomotives for heavy freight service. Due to the outdated saturated steam technology, a superheated steam version with a shortened boiler and a single steam dome was developed for greater efficiency, while retaining the proven frame and running gear of the 170. Customers for the new locomotive included Czechoslovakia, Italy, and Poland, where these machines became highly significant as the Tr12 series. Poland initially ordered 82 locomotives from the Floridsdorf Locomotive Works (WLF) and two from the Wiener Neustadt Locomotive Works. Due to the high demand for powerful freight locomotives, the Tr12 series was subsequently also produced domestically. The Polish locomotives were equipped with larger superheaters, extended chimneys, Westinghouse air brakes, and modified cabs. The Tr12 locomotives remained in service primarily in southern Poland, where their good steam output and low axle load offered particular advantages. After 1945, only a few locomotives in operational condition were acquired by the Polish State Railways (PKP). A total of 39 Tr12 locomotives were returned to Polish service, and the last Tr12s were retired in 1969. The Polish Tr12 combined performance, ease of maintenance, and economy, marking the transition from saturated to superheated steam technology. It was a milestone in European locomotive construction and had a lasting impact on heavy freight transport in Poland. • Version with PKP cab and chimney • Separately attached air and feed pumps as well as generator of Polish design • Fine steps, handrails and many separate pipes • Metal wheelsets and delicate linkages • Sound version with factory-installed smoke generator • In digital operation with switchable cab lighting • Brake hoses, protective tubes and coupling hooks for upgrades are included
