I would like to show you the first photos of the first finished model of Faur OSE A150 series, running on SFS model layout yesterday evening. A151 is finished (a decoder wires putting in order is still needed). A152,A155,A156 and A157 are also being finished these days.
The model has a 3d printing acrylic body shell with white metal chassis, brass exterior rails and puffers, and close coupler pockets. The gear boxes are based on Roco mechanics, with Roco motor with one flywheel and transmition to both bogies (so there are plenty of replacement parts) . One axle is equiped with elastic rings for better adhesion . Inner electrical wiring is based on a specially produced for this model printed circuit board so all electric wires are in order. Leds for lighting are based on this pcb as the NEM 652 interface too. Cabin columns are very thin as are prototype's ones, which cause great difficulties in glazzing and delays. All details are in place without compromise. Two different very tiny horns produced in lathe machine and the correct VHF antena was used. Bogies sideframes are 3d parts and are very realistic ones. The No2 bogy has also lubricant oil pump as the prototype.
Model length is 132mm and weight with decoder Lenz silber 210gr
Running is very smooth and quite as a Roco locomotive, without any vibrations and it well suited for digital operation and shunting.
I have apply such colours shades that the models represents prototypes of 1995-2005 era.

I think that members will apreciate my effort.

Good work Stefanos, I wish the fellow modelers that will get it to be pleased with it.

I feel sorry that I can't support your effort as I'm waiting mine from Limitbahn...
I just wish you had presented the model yourself at the fist time, we would have all supported it
and we would have avoided some annoying incidents too...

Thank you Panagioti for your good words.
I believe that model's future will be as good as good the model itself is. For the moment one model is ready and another four are almost ready.
I believe that I will deliver first, as I have heard that Limitbahn has delayed deliveries of OSE A156 and delivery time is for the moment uncertain.
I couldn't imagine how thrilling that model project would become.
Next weekend I will post more photos, of details and interior mechanism.

Here I submit some new exterior fotos of the totaly finished A151. The wires have been disappeared and the brightness of front light reduced a little.

And few fotos of functional interest.
