  • Uma locomotiva bem valente! Que seja conservada.

  • I think this Locomotive featured on a BBC segemt with Kirsty Kwark (correct me if it's wrong) about how it's much more eco-friendly than it's predocessors and that it has less running and maintanence costs than Diesel or Electric.

  • great sound, how much did the performance increased after the rebuilding?

    Can it be operated by one man?

  • @cityraildude why?

  • Impressive vid. Final shot - acceleration worthy of a TGV!!!! Quite some dampflok :-)

  • This is standard class steam locomotive BR52 by DR or similar to polish Ty52 - and they can fit on any turn-table currently in use my friend!

  • @Trailltrader Not anymore, they did at one time in Europe, but most of the engines now a days are either dual cabbed or can be switched around on a wye. I would figure that the 50 8055 is also too big for any one turntable they may have

  • Very smooth running.

  • Ehh, hard manual labor is good for you! I say bring steam back!

  • Doesn't look to be that hard guys- I think she's burning oil, and as far as water she'll just pick it up on the track scoopers

    But why is she running backwards so much? They don't have turntables in Europe or something?
