During the Second World War, the demand for freight locomotives rose sharply. In order to be able to put machines into service as quickly and cheaply as possible, the DRG commissioned so-called war locomotives. Probably the best known of these war locomotives is the class 52, of which a total of more than 7000 units were built.

They are closely related to the class 50, but the design was greatly simplified. This resulted in a 30% saving in working time and 12 tonnes of steel per locomotive.

The original plan of the management at the time gave the machines a maximum lifespan of 10 years, but nothing came of it due to the lost war. In the GDR, the locomotives remained in service, partially modernised, until the official end of steam locomotives in 1988 and beyond. Even the DBAG used modernised, so-called recolocomotives in scheduled service in the greater Berlin area until 1994.

The German Federal Railway, on the other hand, phased out its 52s by October 1957. The boilers were recycled to replace the non-ageing steam generators of the 50 series.

The model shows the DR or early DB condition with old building boiler and tub tender. The locomotive is powered by an L-engine and Powerfuctions system, a steam module can also be installed. The model can be driven from the R-56 radius.
