The EN 57 is a three-car electric multiple unit that has been in service in Poland since the early 1960s. It was developed and built by Pafawag, a well-known Polish railroad manufacturer in Wrocław. With more than 1,400 units produced, it is one of the longest-lived and most successful railcars in Europe.
With an output of 580 kW and a top speed of 110 km/h, the EN 57 was perfect for local and regional transport. Its robust construction and easy maintenance made it an indispensable component of the Polish railroad network. Its distinctive design, including the characteristic front section and functional interior, made it a familiar sight on Poland's rails.
Era VI (from 2007) marked a period of modernization and internationalization of railroad operations in Poland. PKP began to renew its vehicle fleet and modernize older models in order to meet the increased demands for comfort, safety and efficiency. The EN 57 was modernized in this era, with many multiple units receiving new paint schemes, technical upgrades and comfort improvements.
In Era VI, the PKP trains are designed in contemporary liveries that emphasize the corporate design and modernity of the company. The color scheme reproduced in the model is typical of this period and gives the EN 57 a fresh, modern appearance.
