Dimitrios Kostopoulos - ROLLING-STOCK + LOCOMOTIVES BY P87 STANDARDS

[Dimitris]

Hello.

Just an update to:

3./ DB (ex - Deutsche Bundesbahn), Epoche III/IV, Hochbordwagen, Bauart: OOfs (1990) [Offenerwagen des Regelabauarts], bogies MINDEN/SIEGEN (with leaf-springs) - READY THE FOLLOWING: bufferplank, bogies and details - that must be added. I will post the handmade bufferplank from Pertinax.
side - 1
side -1 / other view
side - 2
side -2 / other view

-- The bogies are of the type (Bauart): MINDEN/SIEGEN with leaf springs (Blattfeder) from ROCO HO.
-- The red arrows show the HANDMADE bufferplank (Pufferbohle), till now.
-- The blue arrows show the buffer-backs (Spannplatte) of the type (Bauart): UIC 620 Form C, which can be found from here:
http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... orm-c.html

-- The green arrows show the holes made for soldering the UIC-steps (Rangierertritte) from UDO BÖHNLEIN HO. (http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... eatzt.html)


-- Also 2 handmade handrails (Griffstange) will be installed on the body-shell from both right-hand - sides, but I have to check from the prototype.
-- I already HANDMADE shunting-handrails (Rangierergriffe) to be installed underneath the NEW bufferplank (that already has drilled holes).
-- Also wooden stripes will be added to the ground of the body-shell (http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... boden.html).


This is the last of the LIMA HO old freight wagons (1990) that I have mentioned.

Hello.

The Swiss Eaos SBB CFF FFS of ROCO HO, Art.Nr.47470, is already drilled on the bufferplank (also flat cut and cleaned) and hand main levers (Umstellvorrichtung)and flat cut and cleaned on the brake-system, such as to be upgraded to P87 standards. Is not for sale anymore. SORRY.

Offener Wagen in Regelbauart
a Mit 4 Achsen
n Maximale Tragfähigkeit über 60 t
o Feste Stirnwände
s Höchstgeschwindigkeit 100 km/h



Bogie-type: cast - bogie-frame edition (gegoßene Ausführung), type: Cm
http://www.drehgestelle.de/6/y25_t.html

Model:
side-1
side-2
robust brake-system cut and flat cleaned
Umstellvorrichtung - side-1
Umstellvorrichtung - side-2

I have already also handmade the shunting-handrails (Rangierergriffe) and the handrails (Griffstange) on the body-shell (the last already painted), which I will post on the following e-mails.

However, this is the last of the UIC - type: Eaos, similar to the DB one, that I will upgrade, and the LAST OF THE LAST of the Eaos ones, will be the french SNCF one from ROCO HO, Art.Nr. 76803 (http://cherbourg-maquettes.com/catalog/ ... 15782.html, http://www.univers-train.com/PBSCProduc ... D=11732053). If I may find it in ΟΣΕ/CH by KLEIN-MODELLBAHN HO, then would be OK with me - as I ahve mentioned in previous posts.

Thanx

Dimitris

By P87 standards, the following needed for the wagon to be upgraded:
OPERATIONAL-PARTS:
1./ Screw-coupling - UIC [WEIMANN]: http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... tiert.html

2./ High-powered buffers with screwed bufferplates with endloading: 59tonnes (Hochleistungspuffer mit 59t Endkraft) - UIC, bufferplate-dia.: 450mm, bufferlength from plate to back: 620mm (type of buffers is added according to the operational-number)[WEIMANN]: http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... kraft.html



3./ FREMO: 87 wheelsets, with Wheel-dia.: 920mm (for Y25 bogies, according to UIC) = 10,57mm in HO, type: BA88/72 (year of manufacture after 1972): http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... -5-mm.html



NOT - OPERATIONAL PARTS:
1./ Airbrake-hoses [WEINERT]: http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/bremsschla ... bohle.html (the hanger with the 2 screws will be cutt-ff according to the prototype - SEE PIC - RED ARROWS)

2./ Brake-system [UDO BÖHNLEIN / FRANKISCHE MODELLBAHN SPEZIALITÄTEN]:
http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... nlage.html (etched nickel-silver, i.e. the levers (Verbindungsgestänge) connected to the hand-levers (Umstellvorrichtung) for moving them)
http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... nlage.html (etched nickel-silver, i.e. the main-levers (Bremshebel) moved by the brake-cylinder to push the rods (Stange) to the brake-backs (Bremsbacken))
http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... teile.html (brass casting, i.e. brake-cylinder, Air-reservoir, etc.)
3./ Shunting-handrails - AREADY HANDMADE AND PAINTED (I will post pics)
4./ Handrails on body-shell - AREADY HANDMADE (I will post pics)
5./ Wooden stripes on the ground of the body-shell [HOfine]: http://www.wagenwerk.de/h0de/fahrzeugba ... boden.html

[BarbaPanagos]

well done Dimitri, at least one of us is modeling


...

[Dimitris]

Thanx very much Panagioti!

As I have promised:
- red arrows: handrails of the bodyshell
- green arrows: small handrails of the bodyshell
- blue arrows: shunting-handrails undrneath the buffers

HANDMADE handrails out of 0,3mm brass-wires + 0,2mm holes and soldered with 0,2mm brass-wires for the body-shell ones, and 0,3mm holes and soldered with 0,3mm brass-wires for being assembled underneath the buffers.
prototype

Thanx

Hello.

The handrails on the body-shell fixed (blue arrows) + the 0,3mm cast brass wire - hook (protector of the parts of the bufferplank during train movement, according to prototype) [red arrow]:

Thank God, till now, this Eaos was easier than the LIMA DB one, which I have presented.

More updates will follow, when operational and non-operational parts are fixed during upgrade.

Dimitris, I have merged this topic with your other one about locomotives which remained inactive for a while. It is good to see all the good progress of your work in one place.

christo.

[Dimitris]

Thanx very much Christo, for merging the topic with the other one about locomotives.

Yes, I will show the progress, as I show it always. No problem.

Dimitris

[Dimitris]

The handrails of the DB, Ep. III, OOfs opened wagon with high-boards (Hochbordwagen) and MINDEN/SIEGEN bogies (with leaf-springs), are already handmade constructed:

Unpainted:
side-1 (blue arrow)
side-2 (red arrow)

Painted:
side-1 (blue arrow)
side-1 (blue arrow)
side-2 (red arrow)

With more progress, I will post more. This needed more time, because it had many handmade parts (i.e. bufferplank, shunting-handrails, handrails on body-shell), which already constructed. Now upgrade parts will be added, i.e. buffers, couplings, air-hoses, brake-system, UIC-steps, P87-wheelsets.

This is the last one I have, of the LIMA HO freight wagons with bogies that will be upgraded by P87 - standards. The 3 LIMA HO freight wagons mentioned in previous posts, are also the last ones of LIMA HO I have and will be upgraded by P87 standards, too.

Last correction of the angle of the ends of the handrails of the body-shell of OOfs to 45 degrees folded . FINALLY
