The Brimalm model of the Danish Class E locomotive shows the Frichs-built version from the 1940ies.
The model:
The Brimalm super model of the Danish Class E locomotive is based on the state of the prototype after the Second World War, that is to say the Danish-built engines from Frichs. Only 115 examples have been produced. Our beautiful model is basically the same as the Swedish Class F engine, but differ in a lot of details. The extremely fine details of this model represent a new, and until now unheard-of quality level. The locomotive is equipped with a Faulhaber M1724-1 motor and a separately ball bearing hung heavy flywheel, which give it excellent running characteristics. The power is transmitted through a telescoping cardan shaft to the gearbox /type SV26) with ball bearings, a double thread hardened steel worm and bronze gear. The gearbox drives on to the rear coupled axle, from which the rotation is transmitted to the driving and front coupled axles by the individually milled and prototypically linked coupling rods. Due to a well-balanced heavy lead weight in the boiler and all axles beeing sprung, the model posesses exceptionally smooth running characteristics and high pulling power.
The model differs in many details from the Brimalm Class F locomotive.
The model is characterized by
- Exact scale 1:87 (H0)
- 2-rail DC with current collection through 12 wheels
- May be equipped with digital control system / decoder
- Simulated outside and inside compound machinery with a forged crank axle
- Cab with detailed interior and removable roof (screw fastening)
- Detailed smokebox interior and smokebox door which can be opened
- Glazed windows and headlights
- Guiding force of the pony bogie is adjustable
- Sprung driving wheel axles with ball bearings
- Wheel rims made of stainless steel with RP 25 flanges
- Sprung couplers and buffers
- Detachable snowploughs and headlight armature
- Signs and decals with all prototype engine numbers enclosed
- Realistic running characteristics 0-110 kph
- Original Brimalm spare parts kept in stock
- The model is delivered in an elegant wooden case.
