Photos of the ready made MÁV Class 327 steamer model
The first model
|
The first model painted, ready-to-run.
I hope the only surviving prototype will be shown as the model.
|
|
The side view of the model.
The high placed shallow boiler is well visible.
|
|
The model from the back.
You can take a look at the engineer's workplace.

From the front you can find the nice proportions very impressive.
Unfortunately these close photos always relieve the smallest errors.
Here the spring blocks of the safety valves on both sides
of the dome are a bit slanted. It was easy to fix, as the dome
top is not tightened.

The second model
|
The second model painted, ready-to-run.
This was finished one year after the first one.
Unfortunately during the first running tests the silicon rubber tube
that connects the motor axle to the wormshaft loosened.
It was necessary to take the model fully apart,
there is no other way to fix the drivetrain.
After remounting the paintwork was to fix.

Both Class 327 models together

On the left the new, right the old model.

There is no coal in the tender.
The tender construction required to add the coalbox bottom plate,
this keeps the box structure together.
The lead weight is inside the tender,
below the DCC decoder.
One can add a removable coal pile.
