MKF5-2003 LOKOMOTYWA ELEKTRYCZNA EM-10, WAGONY OSOBOWE 111A I 112A

HCP 112A is the designation of a series of standard-gauge passenger carriages, which was produced in the years 1969-1989 in the Hipolit Cegielski in Poznań (abbreviated: HCP). The service weight of a single wagon was 33.5 tons, and its total length was up to 24.5 meters with a width of 2.88 meters. The car provides 54 seats. The 112A car was designed as a 1st class car and is currently operated by PKP Intercity (PKP IC). The wagon was created as a development of the 104A model. It differs from its predecessor mainly by the significantly increased number of seats or the increased service weight. It is also very similar to the 111A wagon produced in parallel with it, but it provides greater comfort for travelers, and its compartments in the original version were 6-, not 8-person as in the 111A model. In the course of long production, many versions and modernizations of the 112A wagon were created, differing mainly in the type of heating or the interior of the compartments.EM10 (another designation: HCP 405E) is a prototype electric locomotive, which was produced in the years 1990-1991 at the Hipolit Cegielski in Poznań (abbreviation: HCP). In total, only 4 locomotives of this type were built. The service weight of a single locomotive is 72 tons, and its length with buffers is 16.34 m. The average of the wheels is 1100 mm, with the Bo'Bo 'axle system. The EM10 locomotives were developed in cooperation with the Research and Development Center "Tabor" in Poznań and the Electrotechnical Institute in Warsaw. The aim was to create a modern, electric shunting locomotive with the best possible functional features, which was to enable testing in practice such technical innovations as impulse starting or a microprocessor control system. Finally, locomotives dedicated to shunting works, but also capable of hauling small passenger and freight trains were created. Due to financial problems in the early 1990s, PKP decided not to further develop the structure, and in 2004 the locomotives owned were modernized in the Newag plant in Gliwice.HCP 111A is the designation of a series of standard-gauge passenger carriages, which was produced in the years 1969-1989 in the Hipolit Cegielski in Poznań (abbreviated: HCP). The service weight of a single wagon was 39.5 tons, and its total length was up to 24.5 meters with a width of 2.91 meters. The car provides 80 seats with 170 seats altogether. The 111A wagon was designed as a 2nd class wagon, currently operated by PKP Intercity (PKP IC) and Przewozy Regionalne sp. Z o. O. The wagon was created as a development of the 104A model. It differs from its predecessor mainly by the significantly increased number of seats or the increased service weight. In the course of long production, many versions and modernizations of the 111A wagon were created, and further modernizations continued even after its completion. Examples include the far-reaching modernization carried out by the PESA plants in 2010 (161A, 162A and 163A cars) or Newag in 2013 (168A cars). In the period 1969-1989, 2,825 units of the HCP 111A wagon were produced, which makes it the longest series of wagons produced in Poland.
