PIKO 52300 Diesellok Sm31 PKP Cargo

Instructions for use diesel loco

The prototype:
As a result of increased freight traffic, PKP realized the need for a 1200 HP heavy diesel switcher. PKP turned to Fablok, who in 1973, began delivering six-axle road switchers based on the SM42. From 1976 to 1985, the PKP received 167 of these engines and classified them as SM31 003 – 169. A further 28 engines followed for use on industrial railroads, in addition to the two prototypes not purchased by the PKP. Contrary to expectations, the six-axle units proved unsuitable for the needs of industrial railroads, so many were promptly sold to the PKP. The locomotives sold to PKP received new numbers in order to avoid duplicate locomotive numbers. About 30 engines of this series are still in use today, most of which can be found in Upper Silesia. Although the units have been retrofitted with the latest radio and signaling systems, they have not undergone a general rebuilding program in over four decades of operational service.
