Steam Locomotive DR BR 52 TY2 Train Model

Experience a piece of railway history with the Steam Locomotive DR BR 52 TY2 Train Model, a remarkable 1:35 scale replica from COBI’s exciting new “Trains” collection. This detailed block model faithfully captures the iconic German DR BR 52 steam locomotive, one of the most recognisable and widely used railway engines of World War II. Uniquely designed as a 2-in-1 set, it offers the option to build the locomotive with authentic German wartime markings or as a Polish State Railways (PKP) version from the post-war era, complete with accurately reproduced insignia and numbering.

Featuring 1,723 high-quality construction blocks, this model showcases incredible attention to detail, from the removable roof revealing the intricately printed engine room instruments and burning coal in the firebox, to the coupled engine and tender that move together realistically. The locomotive’s wheels are engineered with four distinct designs, ensuring smooth travel on block tracks and tight corners. Included are five sections of realistic track, crafted with two-colour injection technology for a lifelike appearance and studless sleepers that perfectly mimic wooden railway ties. The set also includes two detailed figures—a German train driver from WWII and a Polish railway worker in authentic post-war uniform—adding further historical authenticity.

Manufactured in the EU by a company with over 20 years of tradition, the model adheres to strict safety standards and is fully compatible with other leading construction block brands. Clear, illustrated, step-by-step instructions make this set an engaging build for history buffs, train enthusiasts, and model builders alike. Whether you choose the German or Polish configuration, the Steam Locomotive DR BR 52 TY2 Train Model is a spectacular addition to any collection, bringing the legacy of this legendary steam engine to life.
