The model:
The Class F has been called the most imposing of Swedish steam locomotives. One is still deeply impressed by the examples which have been preserved by the Swedish State Railways (SJ) and the Danish State Railways (DSB).
In 1999 we produced a series of 169 models of this engine class, which were sold out in a short time. Since we received numerous requests to make another series, we have decided to produce another 120 models for delivery in april 2006.
The technical quality and extremely fine details of this model are basically the same as in the first series - enjoy the pictures! The locomotive is equipped with a Faulhaber type 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 series 2 models will also be equipped with working headlights and a digital decoder.
The model is characterized by
- Exact scale 1:87 (H0)
- 2-rail DC with current collection through 12 wheels
- May easily 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 working headlights
- Alternative headlight armatures may be ordered
- Sprung driving wheel axles with ball bearings
- Wheel rims in stainless steel with RP 25-profile
- 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
Five year technical warranty.
