it is a metal castings, wood and brass kit that weight around 4kg
instruction manual is all photographic and easy to follow, in the kit is also added an italian (here in my country) text manual but really I did not need it.
this is the motor unit, sold separately.
I will make this kit dinamic with motor, lights, smoke unit and rc controlled motor unit.
sorry for my bad english, I try to answer about construction. as best I can
Many Thanks.. price is around 400$ and 60$ for motor unit.
This OcCre kit is not difficult to build but requires precision and good adhesives to be assembled.
I have to change speed controller and battery.
Probably I have to add another motor unit under the tender, or add weight because 2wd are not enough.
Although it is all very smooth, the locomotive moves but the tender often slips
Those kits are famous for having underpowered motors and gearing, not surprised you have to change them.
Is there a reason you did not use metal rails with chairs and spikes for the roadbed? Would seem easy enough to purchase, but perhaps you wanted to make that as well.
motor power is good but if motor unit was 4wd it would be better.
if I find 2 worm gear and 2 pinion I can try to modify or the easy way is add anoter one for the second carriage.
I do rail by myself because here in my town nobody sell this scale models, on ebay I find many lgb rails but much expensive considering shipping to Italy.. so is not easy to have a test track in few times.
I'm continuing to make the walnut track, it's a temporary indoor track but I'm seeing that it's very sturdy and works well, so instead of buying some commercial track I think I could keep it
my track corresponds to a lgb R3 and it is the minimum diameter possible to run my loco, I have doubts that it could turn on an R2
okay, I have edit all discussion because postimage.org is broken his links.. so I had to change .org in .cc
if you find other broken photo links is easy to edit and change .org with .cc
as soon is possible I prepare a video in the garden with loco running, I wait for the sun stop raining then I make it.
