The Deutsche Reichsbahn's Class 52 [note 1] is a German steam locomotive built in large numbers during the Second World War. It was the most produced type of the so-called Kriegslokomotiven or Kriegsloks (war locomotives).
As a rule, locomotives were preferred that were dependent on additional infrastructure as little as possible. German electric locomotives were given aluminium windings in the traction motors and transformers, and the steam engines had steel fireboxes, hence the name Heimstofflok or 'home-grown loco'.
The Class 44 were standard goods train, steam locomotives with three cylinder engines. Both the DB and the East German DR converted some of the engines to oil-firing, the DB ones being recognisable from their 043 computerised numbers. 20 DR locomotives were fitted with the Wendler coal-dust firing system.
The steam motorised locomotive no. 19 1001 was a German express train steam locomotive with the Deutsche Reichsbahn during World War II. Manufactured by Henschel, this streamlined trials locomotive with factory number 25000 was an experimental design featuring a single-axle drive to each axle, a method commonly used in electric locomotives.
The Deutsche Reichsbahn's Class 05 was a German class of three express passenger steam locomotives of 4-6-4 wheel arrangement in the Whyte notation, or 2 ′ C2 ′ h3 in the UIC notation used in continental Europe. They were part of the DRG's standard locomotive (Einheitslokomotive) series.
Twenty locomotives were destroyed during the Second World War; lightly damaged engines were repaired. Of the original 775 units, 175 went to the GDR railways , 385 to the Deutsche Bundesbahn , 29 to the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), 44 to the PKP in Poland as the Class TKt3 , 73 to the SZD and 62 to the CSD (6 of which later went to the SZD ...
xx.6xxx locomotives, that originated from former private railways. From 1970 the following sub-classes for all steam locomotives were introduced, the locomotive number always being four digits long: xx.0 locomotives with oil-firing; xx.1–8 locomotives with grate firing; xx.9 locomotives with coal dust firing
A total of seven locomotives of this class have been preserved: 80 009 belongs to a private owner, Peter Haschke, and stands in his garden. 80 013 ( Hagans factory no. 1227, 1927) is non-operational at the German Steam Locomotive Museum in Neuenmarkt -Wirsberg.
