The underground part is 5 mm long. The light is equipped with warm white 0402 LED that has a special color tone that resembles the light of energy saving or fluorescent lamps – predecessors of modern LED lighting. White glossy opaque acrylic ball evenly diffuses the light around.

The light is ...

There is also a number of steam locomotives that don't exist with detailed driving gear and coreless motor yet - for example, BR 42 Franco-Crosti (88040, 88041). And also the famous BR 53 - although "almost" fictitious, yet very attractive candidate to the novelties.

An der Lok würde noch weniger stimmen als an der Erstserien-Lok, die wir bereits erhalten haben (88594). Die Swiss-Express-Loks haben zusätzlich eine verlängerte Pufferbohle aufgrund der automatischen Kupplung. Von den Proportionen her stimmt bei der vorhandenen Form also noch weniger als bei der ...
