L20275 - Ballenberg Steam Railroad Class HG 3/3 Steam Locomotive   (BDB)
                      
Pre-order price: $ 995.00







Prototype: The Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) purchased two new class HG 3/3 cogwheel locomotives for their Brnig line starting in 1905. They were delivered by SLM Winterthur. After both prototypes had given good results, 17 of these locomotives were placed into service by 1910. Another locomotive was subsequently delivered in 1926. One of the biggest advantages of these 30 metric ton locomotives – in addition to the higher performance of 400 horsepower and the greater maximum speed of 40 km/h / 25 mph in adhesion operation and 13 km/h / 8 mph in cogwheel operation – was the fact that they could also run downgrade with the smoke box in front. This did away with the need for time-consuming switching and turning of the locomotive at the summit of the pass at Brnig. After electrification of the Brnig Line in 1941, these steam locomotives were no longer needed for regular service. Part of them did however remain operational in reserve, the final units being road numbers 1065, 1067, and 1068. They were finally retired in 1965. Road number 1067 then went to the Ballenberg Steam Railroad, where it has been used since 1972 for nostalgia runs on the Brnig Line, together with the passenger cars, car numbers BC 28, and C 31, and the baggage car, car number F 51. Since January 1, 2022, the name of this museum railroad has been Brnig Steam Railroad BDB.

Model: This is a model of the Brnig Steam Railroad BDB class HG 3/3 cogwheel rack locomotive, road number 1067, from Switzerland. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI, or as the locomotive presently still looks in use. The locomotive is driven by a powerful, ball bearing Bhler motor, and real rack railroad operation is possible. The locomotive has an mfx/DCC sound decoder with many light and sound functions. It also has a built-in smoke unit with steam exhaust synchronized with the wheels. The locomotive has many separately applied details, prototypical modelling of the valve gear and side rods as well as the cogwheel gear. Length over the buffers 33 cm / 13".

Highlights:
  • Real rack railroad operation is possible with the 10210 / 10220 LGB rack sections.
  • We recommend a maximum grade of 15% for reliable operation on the rack.
The Brnig Steam Railroad BDB is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022.

L25392 - RhB Class ABe 4/4 Powered Rail Car, Road Number 30  
                      
Pre-order price: $ 995.00













Prototype: Fourteen units of this powered rail car were delivered as early as the opening of the Bernina Railroad between 1908 and 1910. In 1943, the Bernina Railroad was taken over by the Rhaetian Railroad (RhB), including these powered rail cars – they had not yet reached the end of their useful lives. However, their performance left something to be desired. The RhB thus began to update the existing units in its own shops. The most striking thing was the replacement of the "harp" pantographs with a double-arm pantograph and the conversion of the acceleration and braking resistors. The latter were previously installed under the car body and were now up on the roof. The delivery of new powered rail cars pushed these units increasingly into lesser duties. However, they were not retired – at the grand old age of 100 years – until the new Allegra powered rail cars were delivered in 2010. Yet two powered rail cars – road numbers 30 and 34 – survived. Restored to their original yellow paint scheme, they are still currently used in special train service pulling historic trains.

Model: This is a model of the RhB class Abe 4/4 powered rail car for use on the Bernina Line. The unit is in the yellow paint scheme of the beginning of the Bernina Railroad, thus as it is still used currently as a museum unit. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI. All four wheelsets are driven by two powerful Bhler motors. The model has an mfx/DCC decoder with many light and sound functions. It also has interior details, the doors can be opened, the model has traction tires, and there is cab lighting. Length over the buffers 64 cm / 25-3/16".

A passenger car to go with this model is available under item number 30563, another observation car under item number 34252, and a boxcar – example, for bicycle transport – under item number 45302.

L26252 - K.S„chs.Sts.E.B. Class IM Steam Locomotive - High End   (K.Sachs.)
                        
Pre-order price: $ 3,995.00



Prototype: In 1902, three Fairlie type locomotives were delivered as the class I M. They were planned for the roller carrier line at Reichenbach in the Vogtland region. Their main purpose was to connect many small and medium size industrial companies to the network of the Royal Saxon State Railways. The special feature about this type of locomotive was the double boiler with the firebox in the middle and the two powered trucks. These 10.5 meter / 34 foot 2 inch long and 42 metric ton locomotives were preeminently suited for the network with its many sharp curves. The performance of 330 horsepower and the maximum speed of 30 km/h / 19 mph was sufficient for the locomotive's planned use. An interesting feature was also the locomotives' full sheathing. They thus had a cab in the middle of the locomotive in each direction of travel and a cab at the ends of locomotive – 4 cabs all total. The trucks along with their valve gear and rods also had full sheathing – similar to streetcar line locomotives. On the one hand, this was for the protection of the valve gear and the side/drive rods and on the other hand for the protection of pedestrians, since the tracks were mostly laid in the middle of the streets.

Model: This is a model of the Royal Saxon State Railways class I M steam locomotive. It is a finely detailed model featuring heavy metal construction with many separately applied details. Two powerful motors drive the locomotive and all driving wheelsets are driven by side rods. The doors to the cabs, to the walk-around, at the ends of the sheathing, and the smoke box door can be opened. The hatches on the trucks can be opened. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI, or as the locomotive presently still looks as a museum locomotive but also as it looked in use in Era I. The locomotive has an mfx/DCC sound decoder with many light and sound functions such as headlights, cab lighting, running sounds, a whistle and a bell that can be activated by reed switches, as well as much more. The running sounds will also work in analog operation. The locomotive has built-in smoke units with steam exhaust synchronized with the wheels as well as cylinder steam and steam exhaust at the whistle, when the latter is activated. Length over the buffers 47 cm / 18-1/2".

Highlights:
  • One-time edition for the 120th anniversary of this locomotive.

L26254 - DR Steam Locomotive, Road Number 99 161 - High End  
                      
Pre-order price: $ 3,995.00













Prototype: The class I M locomotives of the Saxon State Railways were taken over by the German State Railroad (DR) as road numbers 99 161 to 99 163. The sheathing on the locomotives was removed as early as the Twenties for maintenance reasons. Only the sheathing on the trucks was kept. These locomotives were also given the typical black/red paint scheme of the steam locomotives. Road number 99 163 was lost in World War II. The other two were still in use in Reichenbach on the DR until 1962. In the last years of operation, they were equipped with air brakes and a generator for the likewise new electric lighting. Road number 99 161 was scrapped after the end of operations on the roller carrier line, while road number 99 162 was restored to its original condition with sheathing. This locomotive is still present as a museum piece in the Museum Station in Oberheinsdorf – unfortunately not operational. There is also a small exhibition of the roller carrier railroad there and it is put on display for special occasions.

Model: This is a model of the German State Railroad (DR) steam locomotive, road number 99 161. It is a finely detailed model featuring heavy metal construction with many separately applied details. Two powerful motors drive the locomotive and all driving wheelsets are driven by side rods. The doors to the cabs, to the walk-around, at the ends of the sheathing, and the smoke box door can be opened. The hatches on the trucks can be opened. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era III, or as the locomotive looked in the Fifties and Sixties in use on the Reichenbach Roller Carrier Line. The locomotive has an mfx/DCC sound decoder with many light and sound functions such as headlights, cab lighting, running sounds, a whistle and a bell that can be activated by reed switches, as well as much more. The running sounds will also work in analog operation. The locomotive has built-in smoke units with steam exhaust synchronized with the wheels as well as cylinder steam and steam exhaust at the whistle, when the latter is activated. Length over the buffers 47 cm / 18-1/2".

Highlights:
  • One-time edition for the 120th anniversary of this locomotive.

L26390 - Class T3 Diesel Powered Rail Car  
                      
Pre-order price: $ 1,195.00









Prototype: In the Thirties of the previous century, the Nordhausen-Wernigerode Railroad, Inc. (NWE) of that period planned to update its roster of powered units. To do this, diesel electric powered rail cars as well as new steam locomotives were to be purchased. After a first powered rail car had been bought as early as 1935, the car builder Wismar delivered an additional two powerful rail cars in 1940. They were built as pure powered baggage rail cars. With a service weight of 32 metric tons, a performance of 516 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 60 km/h / 38 mph, these two powered rail cars were stronger than the powered passenger rail cars and could therefore haul 4 instead of 3 cars.In 1949, the German State Railroad (DR) took over both powered rail cars as road numbers VT 137 565 and VT 137 566. Until the delivery of new construction steam locomotives at the end of the Fifties, the two powered rail cars shared the main load of the Brocken service with the heavy steam locomotives of the former NWE. After that, these powered rail cars were used in lesser services. Road number VT 137 565 was retired in 1967 and scrapped in 1968 at Wittenberge. Road number VT 137 566 was given the road number 187 025 in 1970 and was stored in the Seventies. The HSB thus took over this powered rail car in 1993. In 1995, it was overhauled and has since been available in its original condition as road number T3 for the NWE for special runs. During this overhaul, the original motor was replaced by a new Cummins motor with 328 horsepower. Since this powered rail car was only used for special service and no longer as a motive power unit, this performance is sufficient. Spare parts are available at any time for the modern motor.Currently, repair of this powered rail car has been deferred and restoration is planned.

Model: This is a model of road number T3, a diesel powered rail car, as it is still used currently on the HSB. The red paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI. Four wheelsets are driven by two powerful ball bearing Bhler motors. This means that this very powerful rail car can pull several cars – like its real life prototype. The model has an mfx/DCC decoder with many light and sound functions. It also has interior lighting and cab lighting, which can be controlled in digital operation. Length over the buffers 64 cm / 25-3/16".

Highlights:
  • New tooling.

L36361 - LGB Club model 2022
            
Pre-order price: $ TBA



Prototype: This car was the centerpiece of operation on the Zittau Narrow Gauge Railroad up to the change in daily passenger service. Thus chiefly after the turn of the millennium excursion service and historic trains were added. An attempt was made at that time to increase the attractiveness of the railroad with a new paint scheme – green/ivory. More than just the color was new. The cars were also equipped with the sliding windows typical for the Zittau Narrow Gauge Railroad, on which the complete upper half could be opened. This was at the strip, which divided the window into an upper and a lower half, and which is easy to recognize. The paint scheme looked very beautiful on these old cars, but it was then replaced by a completely green paint scheme with large lettering "Zittauer Schmalspurbahn".

L44925 - RhB Double Stake Car  
            
Pre-order price: $ 229.00

Prototype: These flatcars with heavy double stakes are a customary sight on Rhaetian Railroad freight trains. They are used to transport chiefly heavy loads such as logs, steel beams, or pipe. These cars were built in the Nineties and are 16.54 meters / 53 feet 9 inches long over the buffers, weigh 17.6 metric tons empty, and can be loaded with 22 to 42 metric tons – depending on the type of train. There are separate end walls for special situations, which can be inserted in the stake holders on the buffer beams. The load can be secured front and rear. This is often done when loading very heavy and large diameter pipe.

Model: This is a model of an RhB type Sp-w double stake car. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI. The car has high end walls, which serve to secure the load in the prototype. The car does not have a brakeman's platform but does have a hand brake wheel mounted on the side of the car. Length over the buffers 66 cm / 26".

L45256 - RhB Cement Silo Car  
            
Pre-order price: $ 169.00

Prototype: Seventy units of various production runs of the type Uc powdered freight silo car were built between 1956 and 1964. The transport of cement took on added importance chiefly due to the construction of power plants in the mountains in the Sixties, since large quantities of cement had to be hauled. A loss of 10% had to be taken into account with the previously customary transport in paper sacks. In addition, there was the time-consuming loading procedure. These cars could take on 15 metric tons of powdered freight – with a weight empty of 8.5 metric tons. They were loaded at a silo directly from above using gravity, unloading was done pneumatically, and the 15 metric tons were unloaded in 15 minutes.

Model: This is a model of an RhB cement silo car. The paint and lettering are prototypical for Era VI. The car has metal wheelsets. Length over the buffers 34 cm / 13-3/8".

L45302 - RhB Boxcar

L46696 - RhB Dump Car  
            
Pre-order price: $ 249.00

Prototype: There were only open and closed cars in the beginning of railroad freight service, but soon there were special cars for certain types of freight. There are currently still open freight cars with gravity unloading used – so-called dump or self-unloading cars – to transport construction materials such as gravel or sand. Such cars are also used in track construction to distribute ballast over the track. The hatches arranged on the underside are simply opened for unloading, and the load slides out down the chutes. The RhB also uses various versions of such cars.

Model: This a model of a type Fac dump car for the Rhaetian Railroad. The paint and lettering are prototypical for Era VI. There are four unloading hatches, which can be opened. The car has metal wheelsets. Length over the buffers 55 cm / 21-5/8".

L48180 - Set of Roller Carriers  
            
Pre-order price: $ 249.00

Prototype: Soon after the construction of the first narrow gauge lines, the problem arose that freight had to be reloaded at the transfer stations. A search was thus made for a better solution, and one of these solutions was to reload complete standard gauge cars on so-called roller carriers. A roller carrier is a small narrow gauge wheeled vehicle on which a wheelset of the standard gauge is loaded. Two roller carriers are thus required for a two-axle car. The roller carriers were in some cases equipped with the appropriate braking system of the narrow gauge line (compressed air, suction air, cable brakes), but there were also roller carriers without brakes.
