Unspecified 0-4-0 Locomotives in Poland


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class Balziel/TKb (Locobase 4778)

One of a series of Polish industrial locomotives built after World War II. This model came in three gauge sizes -- standard, metre, and 90 cm. It was built only in small numbers, possibly because it wasn't very powerful. Rated at 200 hp, its max speed was a bracing 35 kmh (21.7 mph) although a full load could drag it down to 30 kmh (18.6 mph).

Class Hutnik (Locobase 4808)

One of a series of Polish industrial locomotives built after World War II. Like the Baziel, the Hutnik was built only in small numbers, possibly because it wasn't very powerful. Rated at 70 hp, its max speed is listed at 15 km/h (9.6 mph).

Class Rys/T49 (Locobase 4809)

One of a series of Polish industrial locomotives built after World War II. According to [], the Rys was based on Henschel's Fabia design (see Locobase 5968.)

The Fabia design was the progenitor of a line of very small locomotives that were widely dispersed. Rys locomotives were delivered to Polish companies as well as to railways in Bulgaria (10 as the Pernik I), Romania (1), and Yugoslavia (10). Rated at 70 hp and produced for gauges of 550, 750, 760, and 785 mm.
