Historical description of the BR 52 model

The BR 52 steam locomotive belonged to the German Kriegslokomotive series, which were mass-produced for the Wehrmacht during World War II. It was one of the symbols of wartime railways – between 1942 and 1945, over 6,300 units were produced for the purposes of military transportation, logistics, and supply transport across many European fronts. The 1/35 scale model from Trumpeter is a faithful reproduction of this historical locomotive.
