Weight
30/34 g with/without spoke wheels (NEM: 37 to 48 g).
Comments
Nice appearance (door locks inserted, body inside engraved), but NEM box big and too visible.
Several wheels are buckled, and the wagons don’t run easily. Wheel flanges of 1 mm, which is a bit too much.
See the Loco-Revue Forum.
Modifications
Buffers, wheels, and brakes (including air tanks and rods) painted.
