	Trumpeter captured most of the details of this tender...however, a few extra details were added that they felt probably not necessary for the completed model. Using my "Trains in Detail" book on this locomotive, I added, cleaned up or changed a few things. Anything NOT light grey was an add-on and scratch built by me.

	Hitler had mandated the new class of locomotive would replace the over complex BR50 - then the main "goods" locomotive in Germany. The demand was placed on the Armaments and Munitions Division with the demand to reduce man hours to build, use less and simplified materials, and all 13 production factories located in the occupied territories would not deviate from design or function.

	I started with a kit from Trumpeter (search for “B52” on the [http://www.trumpeter-china.com/index.php?l=en Trumpeter] web site) – the Kriegslokomotive BR52 00210 is a 1:35 scale model. This Trumpeter kit was phenomenal. Trumpeter did an excellent job of capturing the major details and the overall build was pretty straight forward and trouble free. However, I opted to buy several after market details as they were just so much superior to the kit parts. Mainly the Knorr Compressor on the engineers side, whistle and the water control valves on the fireman's side. These were [https://www.lzmodels.com/ LZ Models] items produced in Europe and are resin cast. I also replaced the kit provided smoke deflectors with brass deflectors from [http://www.voyagermodel.com/ Voyager]. These represented the after war add-ons on this locomotive as war time locomotives had these "frilly" items omitted.

	The Trumpeter kit has the original rigid frame tender. This tender was quickly replaced as its faults were quickly apparent. The rigid frame did not allow the wheels to follow the curve of the track and resulted in many derailments and tearing up track. The water delivery system to the boiler was also slow on delivery. This style of tender was quickly replaced with a bathtub design tender with standard freight bogies.		The Trumpeter kit has the original rigid frame tender.
