TY 2/Angraf

[Hiob]

Hello, my name is Adam, I did not plan to make a photo story, so I don't have pictures from the beginning of the work.
It's my first photo story, so I'm very nervous, especially because I'm in one place with the best modelers I hope that you will help and share some helpful ideas about the build and with photo story itself.
I'm not confident with train-models, even in polish language names of parts of the locomotive sounds foreign for me, so imagine how do I feel when I have to understand them in English... So I will try to make names of parts easier, so sorry for this.

I made some extra parts myself (they weren't added to the original model or they are very simple, not detailed), to do this, I'm using other photo story of TY 2 written by Precyzyjny on polish medeler's forum. His TY 2 is absolutely perfectly made. His model is maybe even better than real locomotive

This what's on the pictures is an effect of my six months-work.

Wow. That is some very nicely detailed, and extremely neat work! Thanks for sharing that with us Adam.

Very nice work. I always enjoy watching a train build. Thanks for sharing.

'tis very good.

[Hiob]

Welcome again Thanks for nice opinions. Because I didn't had much of the free time, progress of mine model is very small. Still I'm working with the drive of the locomotive. Part shown on first picture is a part proposed by the author of model. They are very simple, so I decided to add some more details which are on the real locomotive.









First try of fitting on the model, just before painting



See you later

i just started the PU 29, and it's a great model, that will keep me busy for a while,but you are adding more detail
Is the TY 2 simular to the German baureihe 50/51/52 ? it looks that way
Are you using lasercut parts?

[B-Manic]

They don't look that simple to me, good, but not simple.

[Hiob]

Hello
Billy.leliveld, I'm also watching your relation. You are absolutely right, TY 2 is a polish name of german locomotive BR 52. Those locomotives were also made in Poland by Germans during WWII, after war the stayed there as a war compensation.
Only wheels are laser cut.

Dear B-Manic, after sticking together original parts and comparing them to the real locomotive, I realize, that the parts in the model are much simpler than parts in the real locomotive. Even if they don't look so

Hello everyone! This is the peace I showed before looks like this after painting with metalising paint. next pictures show progres on pipes used to drop sand on frozen tracks.

See you later .

[B-Manic]

Very nice. I like the cotter pins. Is that what is on the actual engine?
