REE WB-065
OCEM 29 Us (ex Klmms 2.21)
UIC number | Revision date |
30 87 959 4 019-3 | 24.3.70 |
34 g empty / 43 g loaded with six wheel sets (NEM: 43 to 56 g).
Marked “standard weight wagon”. The drawbars are removable (the picture is taken without the drawbars). The spoke wheels are very fine.
Normally, a standard weight wagon is loaded
with marked weights to calibrate the wagon weighing scales. It’s not
the case here. So, I wonder about this model’s authenticity. See for
example this shot of Marcel Le Guay
in Loco-Revue No. 480-21974 - 73d40.

Floor and brakes painted; load of six Hornby axles with plastic wheels. These wheels were re-profiled (tread width and flange height) and painted (Humbrol Metal Cote for treads).
