End of Line RFI Revell 1/87 Reichsbahn BR -02 Locomotive

[PanzerWomble]

"Do something different " has been the thought in 2025 .

Can't say this really peaked my interest, but trying to clear up stuff I've parked and ignored this year.... not much you can do with a black tube in the end  😆and the details are very "Revell'y " 🤮

 

Remnants of a last minute dash to the "National Redoubt" in May 1945 maybe , worn out loco and no coal left ?

 

 

 

 *spelling corrected on tender...ahem ...thank you for pointing it out Doc 😀

I love the locomotive, PW, unfortunately the spelling isn´t correct. It should read müssen instead of müsen. I know, we Germans are terrible .

Very nice, you don't see this kit being build at all. How did it go together? I believe that the moving assemblies were usually painted red.

Think 1980s, thick parts, a lot of moulded on details , two colour plastic (again?) , sprue gates that need bolt croppers to cut through . Fit was ok TBH, it's a 2003 tool . 

And yes in the 1920's when these were made, and on post war restorations, the wheels and chassis were painted red , it varies in opinion if it were the bright signal red in restored ones, or more of a red oxide colour ...and the wartime pixs.?..hard to tell . Were trains repainted in 1942/3 or were they just working the life out them as quickly as they could so everything faded to black/dirt in six years ? The pic in the above post  ...those wheels don't look red to me

This is the 01 version in wartime , same loco type but only 2 steam cylinders , the 02 version had 4 initially , black running gear ?
