Kibri 16100 VS 26100 Robel Maintainance Vehicle : Kit Vs RTR?

Dear RMWebbers,

 

A quick question for the RMWeb luminaries...

 

I've been smitten by the Kibri/Veissmann 16100/26100 Robel Track Maintainance Vehicle, and understand that the difference between the 1xxxx and 2xxxx versions is "kit" VS RTR,
but what does that really mean?

 

- How "completely knocked down" is the "kit" version?
- Does it include a motor and mechanism?
- If Yes, is the mech complete, or does it need assembly?
- Does the "kit" include a DCC decoder?

 

Given the price difference down here in Aust, I'm tempted to go for the kit version,
but want to have a bit of an idea of what I'm jumping-into before throwing $$$ anywhere...

 

Many Thanks in Advance for any and all wisdom...

 

Happy Modelling,
Aim to Improve,
Prof Klyzlr

Hello Prof,

 

I´m not sure if this does help as the photos are gone:

I do not have one of these models, however, Kibri is known for PS plastic kits and so the 16100 kit is supposed to  come with parts on the sprue, no motor, no decoder  but fun to construct it. (about 40 EUR)

The 26100 is readily built, however, again without motor  (about 80 EUR)

Expect the wheels to be plastic and to be exchanged.

The arm is said to be not working, just deco.

 

If you want it motorized, with light, sound and decoder and working arm Viessmann will take your left arm (or more than 250EUR likewise).

"Der Kranarm ist ohne Antrieb." The mech is without drive. (However, I´ve seen this with drive on a video from Nuremberg fair...)

 

So I hope this answer is better than  none- until somebody answers with an own experience.

Yours

Klaus
