The SM04 (factory designation 409Da) is a low power, Polish built shunter, formerly operated by PKP (Polish National Railways) and is an improved version of the SM03. Possibly due to its appearance, the locomotive has been given the nicknames kogucik (the Polish diminutive for a cockerel) and kaczka (the Polish word for a duck).
History
Built between 1972 and 1978, the SM04 differed from its predecessor in that its construction allowed for the installation of a more powerful diesel engine, built under licence from Henschel. Originally, this engine was to be the 10H6, which had a power output of 160 bhp; however the 180 bhp 14H6 was used instead.
The SM04 was mainly sold to industry, where they carried their factory designation of 409Da. A mere 2 examples were acquired by PKP at the beginning of the '90s. Both locomotives had been salvaged from Zakłady Naprawcze Taboru Kolejowego w Sędziszowie (Sędziszów Rolling Stock Reparation Plant), but were removed from PKP's inventory in 2000. One of these is now stationed as an exhibit at the railway museum in Chabówka.
