Want to buy a scrap PKP steam locomotive ?

PKP is selling Ty2 - 1226, it's a BR52 built in Berlin, for the guide price of 91,830 PLN (todays rate £17,126)

Former numbers are:
DRB: 52 6083
CFR: 52 6083
MPS: TE 6083

It's in Barry condition.

I saw it last year, it's a wreck, and it doesnt take a non-boiler engineer like myself to realise it's boiler is a wreck too (The firebox was wasted through from the footplate). It's dumped at the very end of the EMU depot at Tluszcz with another one, (some 1/4 mile from the shed exposed in a yard surrounded by open fields !) missing many components, rods and most cab fittings, dumped and exposed for a number of years.
but there you go..

Anyone wanting a Kreigslok might be better paying £35,000 for the BR52 onsale at the Nene Valley (which is complete and reasonable condition and has worked recently), or the one at Bressingham which was offered for £30,000 + spare boiler !

Maybe more of interest is the EP05 electric also being offered for sale, this is half the price 41,480 z?, (todays rate of £7,756)
but there you go, finally PKP has got round to considering it's options on steam !

10% deposit required, no mention of export permits, no mention of spare part supply, probably no maintenace history and I guess your going to have to move it.

I'm sure this will be like 2007 all over again... it'll go back door to a scrap dealer for a few £2-4000 on the condition it isnt preserved by a foreigner !
When will they learn ?

here's a few pictures of it last year
