Px38-805

Px38-805, named Leon, is a preserved Polish 600 mm narrow gauge steam locomotive built by Fablok in Chrzanów, Poland. It was the only locomotive of PKP class Px38, and one of three built locomotives of Fablok W5A type.

History
In 1929 the First Locomotive Factory in Poland (Fablok) designed a W5A type locomotive, basing upon its earlier W2A type (PKP Tx26-427), and manufactured two units (later designated PKP class Px27). In 1938 another one slightly differing locomotive was ordered by Września County Railway (Wrzesińska Kolej Powiatowa), later to become Px38 class. It was a D () locomotive with a two-axle tender. It was powered by a simple twin engine, working on a saturated steam, developing 110 hp power output. It has been active, as of 2015. In 2015 it left Poland for the first time, taking part in narrow gauge railway meetings in Germany and Pithiviers in France. ==References==
