KH1-2003 POLSKI PAROWÓZ TYPU TKP 30

The Tkp30 is a very similar series of standard-gauge steam locomotives (steam locomotives), which were produced only in 1930 at the Fablok plant in Chrzanów. The length of a single locomotive was 10.08 meters, and the service weight - 54.8 tons. The diameter of the wheels was 1100 mm, and the locomotive had axles in Whyte notation in the 0-4-0 system. The Tkp30 steam locomotives were designed as fast locomotives with tendrami for Polskie Przedsiębiorstwo Kolejowe in Rawicz, in a 0-4-0 axis arrangement, atypical for Polish standards. Before the outbreak of World War II, they served the Rawicz-Kobylin connection. In its course, however, they were exploited by the German occupier. Fortunately, they survived the war, and with the nationalization of the original carrier, they became part of the PKP rolling stock. It was this carrier that gave them the designation Tkp30, but they were relatively quickly assigned to work on industrial railway lines where they were used until the 1970s.
