Close
In 1936 WPZO built 4 two axle gasoline locomotives powered by 4-cylinder Fiat 118A engine imported from Italy with its maximum power output rated at 35 horsepower, which was designated as FIAT 35. All four locomotives were built in the same year, one example was sold to Schicht-Lever adipose industry plant in Warsaw, it survived the war but wasn't preserved, the rest of the three that both survived the war were purchased by the military authorities, which were used at the ammunition dumps in Palmiry.[1]
FIAT 35 has a wheel diameter of 650 mm, its wheelbase is approx. 1950 mm, length approx. 3000 mm, width approx. 2400 mm and the height approx. 2800 mm. The locomotive's cylinder size is 82 mm x 92 mm, the displacement of the cylinders is 2 liters. Its engine is imported from Italy which seems odd because the manufacturer of these locomotives produces successful diesel engines, also the maximum rated power of the engine is estimated 26 kW[1] (it was weaker than Fablok G1C locomotive but somehow used at ammunition dumps).
