• Prototype information

  The class 52.80 came out of the class 52 wartime locomotive as part of the GDR's German State Railroad reconstruction program. Starting in 1960 new design boilers with mixing preheaters from the class 50.35 were installed in 200 units at German State Railroad repair facilities. These "Reko" locomotives turned in good results well into the Eighties and were the backbone of steam operation in the GDR. After the end of the steam locomotive period (on the DR 1987) several units also remained preserved and are still in use on museum railways.
