Hellas-Express

I am refering to the sprung-buffers of this locomotive.

There are two types of round sprung-buffers with riveted bufferplates (genietet) - as you see as well from the pics of the prototype:



1. Federpuffer Bauart Siegen, Art.Nr.: Günter Weimann FP 1. This constructed in 1924, it has a buffer-length: 650mm. It's constructed by UIC, as UIC started 2 years agon at 1922. price: 22,50€.

2. UIC-Hülsenpuffer 620, Form C, Art.Nr.: Günter Weimann FP 16. This constructed by UIC, and it has the standard buffer-lenght: 620mm. Most of the european freight wagons, as well the locomotives, either electric, or diesel, have this length. I suppose that this locomotive, as it's constructed in the 1950s, even though it came to SEK between 1962-66, it has this type. price: 22,50€.

However, I'll go again in Rentis (if I found there this loco) and take a count to the bufferplate, which from upgrading experience of buffers, it has definetely a radius of 450mm (5,2mm in HO), as well as the buffer-length to be sure exactly, which is the right one, either the 650mm, or the 620mm.

Hello.

About the conversion of the diesel-hydraulic shunting locomotive (Δ/Υ) KRUPP, I have found this on e-bay from ROCO:

http://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_odkw=%C3 ... m&_sacat=0

Which production-number (Art.Nr.), do you believe would be the right one for converted to the greek KRUPP? i.e. 43620? So that I may buy it.

Thanx

Dimitris

Any model with red wheels and body. Here is a picture of the A122 by Roco.



christo.

I would it differently. Every model in Ep. III would fit. Red wheels and body is not relevant. You need to paint it it anyway.

Cheers
Andreas

Dimitris,

The Roco model in OSE markings was reference 43627 - I've been looking for years, no luck yet!

Tim

Thanx Tim.

It's OK. I am looking for a V60 model from ROCO to convert it. That's why, I've given this e-bay -site.

Dimitri

OK, 43620 would be fine for a conversion, it's the one I have.

Tim

...and here is a fuzzy photo of the prototype A122 of the Roco model. Yes I have two of these lovely models and... no I am not selling them .
