Steam Engine BR 58

[didibuch]

Hi all,

today I want to start with another engine, this time a steam engine for freight trains. It will be the G12 of the prussian railways, later named BR 58 in Germany.
Between 1917 and 1921 nearly 1600 engines of this kind were built.

More informations you will find here:
Preußische G 12 ? Wikipedia

A video with an active BR 58 you can see here:
Volldampf im Dreizylindertakt - BR 58 - YouTube

The last engines were sorted out in the year 1976 in East-Germany.

Again it's a kit of Albrecht Pirling and again I reduced the Scale to 1:50.
There are 11 sheets for the engine and 5 sheets for the tender.

Wish you all a merry christmas.

Looks a nice kit

Will be following this thread

Hi Tim, thank you.
Hi all,
starting with the kit needed some extra preparations: I want to cut out the black parts between the spokes of the wheels. In this case the frame of the engine shouldn't be white, but coloured, because it will be visible. So the first task was to recolour some parts of the kit with inkscape.

Then the frame was glued together and that was already the first step of assembly.

Greetings
Dieter

Great pleasure to see your construction report to a model of my brother.
I wish you good success.

Hi Adolf,
thank you. I really like to build Albrechts trains.

Hi all,

some progress withe the drivers cabin. The parts fit excellent, the windows were glassed with overhead transparency. The inner cover was assembled and the cabin mounted for a first try onto the frame.

Greetings and a Merry Christmas

Hi all,

some first steps with the boiler: I want to add some more details and give a view through the fireboxdoor, so this part will take some more time.

Happy new year 2014

Hallo Dieter, looks good so far!
I'm also building this BR 58 in 1:48, but have any problems with the manual.
The download ist the same how yours (from Pleiner), but there is away the half of "Detailblatt 2"....
I build it in original, so without more tuning.
This is my present level....

But I do not make a building report...

@Adolf Pirling:
Sorry, aber mein Deutsch ist schon ein bisschen rostig; ich habe viele Jahre in Deutschland gelebt, aber meine "native language" ist immer noch Englisch ... ich habe eine Frage betreffend ein Wagon für Kohle / Gleisschotter (?), den Ihr Bruder einmal hat entworfen; auf Papermau ist noch ein Link zu finden, aber ich bekomme immer nur ein Nachricht, "access denied" ("kein Zugriff erlaubt?".) Diese Wagon war einmal auf "kartonbau.de". Ist dieser Wagon noch irgendwo als "free download" erhältlich / zu bekommen?

Hallo Tex!

Darf ich auf deutsch antworten?
Die meisten Eisenbahn Kartonmodelle meines Bruders
Albrecht Pirling besitze ich entweder im Original oder in einer Kopie.
In einer PN werde ich Ihnen ein paar der Wagen als Cover zeigen.
Sie können mir dann sagen, ob der gesuchte Wagen darunter ist.
Bitte etwas Geduld. Ich muss in die Tiefen meiner Festplatte vordringen.
Gruß
Adolf Pirling
