Redzed´s war locomotive
« on: March 16, 2012, 10:48:51 PM »
I am really happy to be able to call myself owner of one of Shaun´s 1/56th scale German Kriegslokomotive now.
It was formerly forum member Potter 666´s model that I got unassembled second hand this week.
Thanks to forum member Panzerfaust200 to arrange that deal for me to get me into posession if it. 
It is the biggest resin kit I ever started to assemble, but it is perfectly cast and superbly detailed.

This is my progress after two days:

That was Shaun, forum member Redzed, but I don´t know who owns the rights at the moment. "Die Waffenkammer" seemed to have a limited edition in their range.

Looks great -mine is still in pieces as I pluck up the courage to build it.

That massive hunk of resin is part of my 1/56 scale range. There is a passenger carriage coming shortly, moulds in process, that was the next step in the BR-52 group project.  :)

The locomotive can be purchased directly at any time.

Cheers,

Come on, don´t be afraid!


I have finished the kit meanwhile, bent parts are fixed, all is glued together and incorrect wiring and piping removed.
I will have to complete the model with some additional (and proper) piping, steam whistle, lamps, handles, couplings and the like. What I won´t do will be a further completion of the already very nicely detailed footplate and boiler:


Those driving and steering rods are still not perfectly straight, but I´ll leave them that way, because I´m afraid to break them in the end or they won´t fit at all:




The American 2-6-0 Mogul is dwarved by the huge German mass produced engine (nearly 7000 built from 1942-1945):




This one was shipped to Norway and survived the war. I will copy that Austrian made prototype:

I must admit that I went in to town the other day, for a visit to an old model shop here in Stockholm, they specialise in Rail Modeling... they did have a BR52 in HO scale, its really tempting, but rather expensive, and hence not really on the priority list of toys at the moment. I blame you Michi, I did actually go to look for 1/48 trains.

The 2-6-0 Mogul looks just right for my 28mm Old West, do you know who produces it?

A seriously impressive piece of kit!  :o  :-*
