Very flattering appearance. Very fine engraving of the accessories. The railings, ladders and footsteps are in photoetched metal, except for the gangway railing, in plastic. Many details added: buffer handles, lamp holders, valves with handwheels, brake levers and components, axle load compensation system.
Wheelsets: the wheels have a more realistic shape than before, but are not burnished. The centre axle slides easily for running in curve. Good running. Characteristics: see dimension table opposite.
The elongating drawbars are removable. The return springs are too weak.
A screw brake angle transmission is supplied as a separate part. It does not interfere with the travel of a Profi coupling even on a 350 mm radius, provided it is not glued rigidly (Krystal Klear for example). The only problem is that this part is black while the rest of the chassis is grey. See the part’s location.
There is no location to mount the brake hoses. There is a location for the tow hook, but the fitting is too loose and won’t fit without glue.
