Roco 70108 H0 Steam locomotive Ty2 - An impressive war locomotive of the PKP

The Roco 70108 H0 steam loc omotive Ty2 is a detailed replica of the legendary Polish steam locomotive Ty2, which has its origins in the German war locomotive class 52. These locomotives were in service from 1942 and played a central role in the railroad operations of the Polish State Railways (PKP). After the Second World War, 1,207 locomotives of this class remained in Poland, where they were the largest locomotive series in the country until the end of steam traction. Some examples have been preserved to this day and are a reminder of an important era in railroad history.

The prototype: The Ty2 - a proven wartime locomotive

The Ty2 is the Polish version of the German class 52, which was designed as a wartime locomotive for commercial use. Thanks to their robust construction and easy maintenance, these locomotives were able to work reliably even under difficult conditions. After the Second World War, the PKP took over many of these locomotives and used them in various applications, from freight transportation to heavy passenger trains.
