Introducing Herman the DKA D52! He's very precious to me :')
Tumblr media
D52, or PNKA D52 Class is a tender engine 2-8-2 built by KRUPP in 1951. D52 is officially the first locomotives Indonesia brought after indenpendence.
After arrived, D52 are immediately sent to any depot that needs new engine. Herman sent to Banjar, West Java.
Herman was a prideful engine. He's always relaxed, but surprisingly still get their work done.???? He can speaks Sundanese and Indonesian. I think he knows some Javanese words?
In 1953, He gets into an accident by DI/TII, a rebel party. The rails that Herman will go through got sabotaged, making him and a coach behind him derailed to the right side. Drawing him a scar.
His scar gets bigger in 1955. He fell really hard from Cirahong bridge.
In 1987, he was put in Banjar shed, waiting for the museum to take him and a C11. Sadly C1149 doesnt make it.
In 2016, Herman and D1410 are taken from museum. They went to PWS for restoration. D1410 gets it first and now pulling Jaladara train, leaving D52099.
Some funfacts idk:
• D52 has the hottest steam pressure, even hotter than the biggest mallet here, DD52. Because of that, D52 are vulnerable to explode. There is a case of D52084's boiler explodes.
• Instead of having typical German hooters, D52 use 5 chime whistle, its like American's or Japan's..??
• Herman's actual number is D52080. There was no reason yet why they changed it ??
• Despite 100 built, only 1 preserved (Im also mad. How the fuck.)
• The last position he had at TMII is very uncomfortable. Some of his wheels were almost broke.
