Got some of the coaches, which were sold off fairly cheaply by Hattons at the time, but didn't manage to find one of the flak cars anywhere - certainly none appeared to make it to Hattons as part of the, presumably, "remaindered", stock of DR 1933-45 items.

maico Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Here's a rarer version of the Swiss crocodile made by Roco. In the 1920s the Austrians bought a number of new examples for heavy freight use on steep inclines. In the War they were painted dark gray and given the DRG designation E89. I think this one is still in running order in preservation, the last being retired from service in 1979. The second photo is the N-guage version made by Jaegerndorfer model JC62070 These aren't mine, I have the Trix Swiss ho version in green.

maico Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) In the name of science I weighed the Brawa BR06 and it's a hefty 826 grams. There can't be to many British outline OO locos coming in more? That's some 50% more than my favourite models the Trix P10 and Croc which like the Brawa are of metal construction. The Trix have better build quality IMHO Edited April 17, 2020 by maico 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maico Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I came across these photos of a rare gauge 1 model of a defrocked BR06 by Magnus Bahn. Reducing weight is probably what should of been done from the start with the prototype. The Ho is an old Trix Express Frankenmodel...

Guardian Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Well, With regard to the Reichsbahn class 06, and in particular its impressive appearance, it needs to be stated that the two engines did not perform well. That had become clear during the first years of regular service - long distance express trains between Frankfurt-on-Main and Berlin. They were too heavy - several derailments proved that - and the boilers with very long tubes did not prove to be reliable. Furthermore, there was no need of such heavy engines. These experiences had been made prior to the war in 1937-39 under peacetime conditions. That is why the Reichsbahn did not place any further orders of class 06 but ordered 260 of each streamlined classes 01.10 and 03.10 (both Pacifics with three cylinders) instead. Due to wartlme conditions, only 55 respectively 60 have been delivered by 1940. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do and astounding array of landscaping models. Marklin did several sets that have P109 planes as the cargo Liliput did 2 or 3 versions of U-Boats, I think one even in Prussian markings. The coach set appears to be from Liliput, also. Artitec is a Dutch company tho.

maico Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Brawa have a new version of the BR06 this year. Available in wartime anthracite grey or black. I'm not sure how, or if, it differs from the older models. The body and tender are still die-cast zinc alloy which is not the case for the new 2021 BR01 https://www.brawa.de/en/products/h0/locomotives/steam-locomotives/40228-steam-locomotive-br-06-drg/ Edited October 13, 2020 by maico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, brawa updates the PCB's and some additional lighting functions (e.g. lighting of the driving gear like the sound versions of the forthcoming 01). In addition to the unlined 06, a "regular" lined 06 is announced. I have the impression that there still is a market for the 06. In particular in "may be" or "what if" liveries like green, red or blue... Best, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maico Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Back in the mid 1950s on Peter Schnabel sold BR 06 models using Marklin SK 800 (produced 1939-1959) as donors. The later models were pretty complex with tender drive and I presume a shaft to drive the loco wheels.
