the last photo shows a Diesellocomotive of the V 160-Family. These engines were built from 1960 to 1969. One of them was the legendary locomotive called "Lollo".
Best regards to you

Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2013 11:35 amGreat photos full os taste! Love that decoration, that period was lovely for all railways.
Some photos from the same station, Hannover Hbf, and 'same' locos, half month ago. A pity it's all standarised...

Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2013 4:25 pmHello Balkanexpress,
The V 160-locomotive-Family especially the legendary locomotive called:"Lollo" was a very good construction . It`s sad, that a lot of these engines are sold to private railway companies,
for example sersa. This company is a track and railway building company.
By the way: Siemens-Adtranz has built a new locomotive called:"Vectron".
I`ve never seen such a ugly locomotive!
I`ll hope,you agree with me.
Best regards
erwin

Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 10:48 amThanx Panagiotis.
It took me from Friday - 22.30 to Saturday - 4.50, to construct the brake-sytem, underneath the chassis, and about 2 hours on Saturday night to fix the buffers and couplings. The about 7 hours on Friday, was diffcult, as it needed most of the parts to hold them down carefully for not moving. However, I have enjoyed it.
I used for soldering, the following solder: Sn45/Pb45/Bi10, it includes: 45% - Sn + 45% - Pb + 10% - Bismuth, and it is very good for soldering brass parts, as well as it has good fatigue resistance. It melts at 145degrees Centigrade, and I put my 60W soldering-station at about 280-300degrees Centigrade to solder.
The parts that look silver are out of etched Nickel/Silver (Neusilber geätzt), and the ones that look gold are out cast-brass (Messingfeinguß).
I didn't use the solder: Sn96 / Ag4, which includes 96% - Sn + 4% - Ag. I always use that for soldering the back of the screw-couplings (Schraubenkupplung / άγγιστρο) that they hold the coil-spring by a 0,3mm - brass wire, as I have shown on previouw posts. This particular solder, makes strong-joints, and melts at 221degrees Centigrade. However, I use 300degrees Centigrade with the the soldering-station.

Re: German Railways DB
Posted: Sat Oct 12, 2013 12:14 amThe brake-system / Bremsanlage used, was by Hik / 1931, Hildebrand-Knorr-Bremse (Hik) für Personen- und Güterzüge.
The correct one is: 1955, Knorr-Bremse mit Einheitswirkung (KE) für Personen- und Güterzüge.
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knorr-Bremse
However, the only difference, is that the air-cylinder / Bremszylinder of 1931, is a little smaller in size than the one of 1955. Also, the air-reservoirs / Luftbehälte of 1931, are slightly different in shape than the 1955 ones. However, those differences are so tiny, that can be considered negligible. All the rest, are exactly 100% the same.
Thanx
Dimitri

Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2014 1:05 amHello again.
Last part added (red arrows), whiuch was broken, when existed as plastic, only on one wagon and replaced by: 2 x 0,3mm - etched brass parts + 1 x 0,5mm brass wire - soldered.
It's not painted yet. I will post some pics, when it will be painted.
On those 2 wagons, only the KE - brake-system needed to be added, when it will be produced, as I mentioned on previous posts.
Thanx
Dimitris
