Technical details of the steam loco "Spreewald": |
The model "Spreewald" is supplied in kit-form. All necessary parts are in the assembly-box. Detailed building instructions lead graphically over the individual production steps. After the completed assembly the model stands in front of you ready for use and waiting for the first trip. For the assembly - exclusively screwing work - approximately 20 hours are required. Necessary soldering works are already effected ex works. The boiler is governed by the safety standards and is inspected in our house. The model is produced exclusively of rust proofed materials. The wheels of the model "Spreewald" are manufactured of zinc casting according to original drawings. The superstructures, which are modeled on the original by means of etch technique are produced of new silver. |
The model "Spreewald" is gas-fired and can be filled with commercial lighter-gas. After you have placed the machine on the rails, the burner can be lit by a match or lighter at the smoke stack. The running period lasts approximately 20 minutes without interruption. In case of stop-and-go operation the running period extends accordingly. The steam loco "Spreewald" can be assembled. So you can operate the steam model remote-controlled easily. The steam model can be operated by you to run forward or backward, more quickly or more slowly or to stop. An optional steam pressure-regulating valve prolongs the durability. The regulating valve controls the gas flame by the gas pressure. As soon as the pressure in the boiler increases the valve shifts down the gas supply. When the boiler pressure decreases the valve opens automatically. This regulation guarantees an exact supply of required gas volume. So the running time of the loco will be increased and energy- and water consumption will be reduced. |
The inscriptions on the loco refer to the application in the network of the "Spreewald"-railway. |
Necessary tools to assemble: Screw driver, knife, metalfile, hammer, Imbus-spanner 1,5 mm, spanner 6mm, pliers - It is not necessary to solder. |
