BRAWA RhB G 4/5 Consolidation

Reviews
#1

Hi all, This is the present my wife bought me for my 60th birthday, it was delivered shortly after my 61st

The wait was worth it, 1:22.5 scale, Dietz sound and decoder, runs like a Swiss watch (it is powered by a Swiss Maxon motor) and and and. I’ll set up the video cam on the tripod and take some footage (won’t happen this week), the crawl speed with the exactly synchronised exhaust of the cylinders is absolutely amazing. For Mike M to drool over: the sound has a separate cylinder blowdown feature. :smiley: :smiley: the other neat thing is the “engine running light or with train” feature. With train means you hear the brake squeal of the coaches, light you just get the engine brake squeal.

Mike,

You need to talk to some of the blokes on the RhB next time you’re there, they actually call 107 and 108 “Consolidations”. And you’ll find the same moniker in the Claude Jeanmaire steam book. :wink:

Besides, calling it a G4/5 only wouldn’t mean much to the crew here, but we all know what a Connie is, don’t we??

Hans ,
I must confess , when I went round the workshops at Landquart , I don’t remember the mention of "consolidation " . But I was so excited at being there , I even forgot to take pictures .
Nice crowd of blokes there , very professional , rightly proud of their work .

Hi Mike,

Forgot to take pictures?? Hmmmmmmmmm tsk tsk tsk!

Any of the guys I ever talked to on the RhB are nice and the lady in the Bahnladen office always adds a little extra, as does Marcel in the Bahnladen. :wink: :wink:

Matter of fact he has a treasure trove of extra items for those in the know. That stuff isn’t listed in the catalogue. :slight_smile: :wink:

Stuff that makes me exclaim “Holy moses, where did you dig these up!!”
