Maneuvering steam locomotive series 47. Scale 1/25

[Lachezar]

After finishing my model of the H. Zettelmeyer steam roller from 1935, I spent a long time looking for a new challenge from this glorious era of steam.
It turned out that this challenge is very close. A German shunting steam locomotive was waiting for me, exhibited as an exhibit at Sofia Central Station. I want to show you how to build it. I start with the locomotive frame.

Great progress so far. The more I see trains in the forums, the stronger my desire to build one becomes. Are you going to add any details outside of what the kit has printed? such as bolts or weathering?

[Lachezar]

The photos I publish are from a test montage of the model I developed. The main thing in this case is to check the convergence of the details. For this reason, I did not install bolts. However, the locations of all rivets and bolts are marked, and anyone who builds this model can add them if they wish.

Great job on the wheels. Cutting the rings is a challenge in itself.

Beautiful clean and precise work!

I continue with the steam engine and side rods, which connect the leading wheel (middle) with the other two.

The brake system of the locomotive must be built before continuing.

Looking very good!

I continue with the other elements of the drive.

Let's illustrate the construction process with a few more photos.
