BR 50 (another designation: DRB 50) is a series of steam locomotives (steam locomotives) that were produced between 1939-1959. In total, as many as 3,164 locomotives of this type were built. The service weight of a single locomotive was 86.9 tons, and the length of the locomotive - 22.94 m. The locomotive in Whyte's notation had a 2-10-0 layout.
The BR 50 steam locomotives were designed as the so-called standardized or standard steam locomotives (German: Einheitsdampflokomotive), which meant that despite being manufactured in different plants, they had many common components - especially when it comes to the steam engine. This solution significantly lowered operating costs and reduced the time of potential repairs. The BR 50 steam locomotives were also created primarily for freight transport, which of course determined the basic design assumptions. There is no doubt that these types of locomotives have proved to be very successful and are considered to be among the best that have been used by DRB, many of which were taken over and adapted to the needs of West and East German railways after 1945. A certain number of BR 50 steam locomotives were also used by PKP under the designation Ty5.
