The DRB BR 52 steam locomotive is a German machine designed as a simplified version of a war locomotive, mass-produced during World War II (manufactured 1942-1945) primarily for the needs of the Reich’s railways and the German army — the Wehrmacht. BR 52 locomotives were used for military and logistic transports behind the eastern and western fronts. After the war, many units were in use in Central and Eastern European countries, including Poland.

The base Trumpeter model itself already features a high level of detail, but the Eduard 35897 set allows you to bring your locomotive replica to a completely new level. The key components of the set include detailed sheets imitating smoke deflectors, elements of the driver’s cab, Steifrahmentender details, fine steps, mesh parts, handrails, and numerous small construction details for both locomotive and tender, impossible to reproduce in plastic. The photo-etched parts enable you to replicate even the most subtle elements of the original.

The set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 4/5) due to the need for precision and experience in assembly as well as the use of cyanoacrylate model adhesives. It is the perfect choice for military railway enthusiasts, military collectors, and diorama fans of the WWII period who want to complement their collection with a perfectly reproduced model of the BR 52 locomotive.

In summary, if you value realism and exceptional detail quality, the Eduard 35897 BR 52 w/ Steifrahmentender Smoke Deflector 1/35 set is a must-have for any railway modeling enthusiast wishing to achieve the highest quality in recreating historical military locomotives.
