About the ET22 locomotive:

The ET22 is a six-axle electric freight locomotive produced by Pafawag in Wrocław between 1971 and 1989. With over 1,100 units built, it remains one of the most numerous locomotive classes in PKP history. While designed primarily for freight transport, it has also been used for passenger services over the years.

Thanks to its high power output (3000 kW), robust construction, and proven reliability, the ET22 continues to operate across Poland’s freight network. Many units have been modernized and now wear updated PKP Cargo liveries, such as the one featured on this model.

PIKO’s model accurately captures the contemporary appearance of this iconic locomotive and is a must-have for any Polish-themed layout or collection.
