CSD class 477.0 is the last and most technically sophisticated steam locomotive class of the Czechoslovak State Railways (CSD). A total of 60 models were manufactured by the CKD (CKD Sokolovo in Prague) between 1951 and 1955 and were developed from the previous class 476.1. The engines were designed as powerful express train tank locomotives with a 2'D2' axle arrangement for heavy slow train service and, with a weight in working order of around 131 tonnes, were considered one of the heaviest tank locomotives in Europe at the time.The three-cylinder engines reached a maximum speed of around 100 km/h and had a starting tractive force of almost 110 kN. Visually, class 477.0 was characterised by striking lines with an aerodynamic smoke box, Witte smoke-shield plates and elegant, predominately colourful paintwork with decorative lines. This earned it the nickname ‘Papousek’ (parrot) in everyday operation.
