Hellas-Express

I open this topic for Z5 with handbrake-cab:

Agios Ioannis Rentis - 02.10.2013. OSE Z5 / Gbgs-v/Gbgss Vans 21 73 156 9 430-449 Greece 1989. Operation-number: 174 6 068-1.






I also did some measurements (last Wednesday - 02.10.2013 on Rentis) on the shunting handrails, where there is not the handbrake-cab / Bremsbühne / τροχοπέδη, and I divided by 87.1, and I have found in HO, the results in mm, and finally I have created / constructed from 0,3mm brass-wire, these handrails. I will attach the measurements, if anyone needs them. Also, the shunting handrails, where the there is a Bremsbühne are made on the prototype by UIC, so I constructed them by already bended 0,3mm brass-wire.

Thanx

Until now:

I removed the 10,5mm (920mm - prototype) wheels from the axles HUET - 24,5mm and I fixed them on the N.W.S.L. - 25,78mm axles, with a wheel-puller.

back-to-back distance P87.1 1

I tested them on the track and ΟΚ.

I forgot to to include the other front side (without brakeman's cab) until now:

I just installed:

- a "Bremskurbel" / hand-brake, where it should be.
- HANDMADE handrails. This took me 3 hours to assemble.
