Steam locomotive L

Initially, the L series steam locomotive had the P series - "Victory". Since 1947, the locomotives were designated with the L series, in honor of the chief designer L. S. Lebedyansky.

The steam locomotive was designed at the Kolomensky Plant in 1945, and was also produced at the Bryansk and Voroshilovgrad plants until 1955 inclusive. A total of 4,200 machines were built by the three plants.

You can learn more about the design of the L series steam locomotive, one of the most famous post-war series of steam locomotives, using an original visual aid - a model. It shows the internal structure of a steam locomotive, its main parts, in particular the boiler and firebox. Using a special button, you can start the mechanism that sets the locomotive wheels in motion.
