elmarriachi Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hello, here we start the next big project. It is the steam loco BR-52 of the Germans, built during WW2, but used also later after the war from the "Deutsche Bahn". I will paint it in red/black, the standart color of the civil steam locos. The Trumpeter-Kit will receive some updates. I will use the 2'2'32' Vanderbilt tender which was the one mostly used. Further more I will use 4 sets from Voyager, turned brass parts from Master and resin parts from LZ Models. So here we go.... The frame was put together and some parts on the inside added. After some putty and sanding I have added the buffers at the front, made of turned brass parts and which are full movable The small tanks which follow later were put together, sanded, the holding bands removed (follow with PE parts), then the surface reworked with a stiff brush and plastic glue...

Hubert Boillot Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 You are a modelling machine, Michael Looking forward to seeing this one unfold Hubert Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 To be correct it is a Wannentender, not a Vanderbilt. Called so by both german Reichsbahn (Reich and GDR) and the Bundesbahn. The iconic tender of the BR52 was the result of wartime material shortages. It was a monocoque design saving the internal bracing of conventional tender designs. Nice Project! Happy modelling - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hello, I have added some more photo etched parts to the frame. All the corssmembers on the frame, which hold the boiler and the walkways later were replaced by new photo etched parts, consisting of lot of separate parts and rivets. Unfortunately there are too little rivets included in the Voyager set so that I have to search for alternatives. The two tanks were also mounted, with some new photo etched holding bands, valves and other small parts. The area where the fenders for the first wheels will be placed to were filled with putty, sanded. The fenders also will be replaced by PE-parts.

ringleheim Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Great work so far. I stumbled across a BR-52 last year in the Leipzig Hauptbahnhof. It's just sitting there on a spare track line. Great Dampflokomotive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fooesboy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hi Michael, I stumbled onto this thread while researching the BR 86 Dampflokomotive and was wondering if you have made and further progress? Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
