The PKP Class SM03 (also nicknamed "Kogucik" or "Kaczka") was a class of switcher type diesel locomotives that were built by Fablok and Zastal for the Polish State Railways (PKP) between 1959 and 1966.

History

A total of 273 examples were built Fablok and Zastal for the Polish State Railways (PKP), and they were all delivered to the Polish State Railways (PKP) the same year they were constructed between 1959 and 1966.

The class would eventually become the basis for the PKP's later switchers, known to be the Class SM04, which would come into existence a few of years later. They had a tractive effort of 13,200 lbf (58.5 kN) and a power output of 150 hp (110 kW).

Some of the class were withdrawn from active service and were either stored or sidelined and left abandoned, while some others still remain in active service to this day.
