Steam engine - Locomotive - DRG Class 24 - DR BR 24 - DR-Baureihe 24 - Super highly detailed model

Highly faithful scale model of the DR BR 24 originally modelled for the Train simulator game and converted into a printable model!

Almost every nut and rivet is reproduced, as well as every pipe, the braking system and the Walschaerts-type connecting-rod mechanism. The right and left-hand connecting rods are offset by 90° for faithful reproduction.

This printed model will look great in your diorama as a showpiece loco in the siding or maintenance workshop.

All print scales are possible, as the locomotive has been modeled in 1/1 scale.

The model shown in the photo is printed at 1/87th scale in resin and placed on an HO format Marklïn track element.

This model is neither articulated nor motorized and is intended for static use.

• Modeled at 1/1 scale (in cm), so you can simply use a rule of three to obtain the desired scale. 1unit <=> 1m (ex 1/87th > x 0.01149)

• Take care to print all parts to the same scale to enable nesting.

• The photos show the model printed on an Elegoo Mars 1 in standard gray resin at 1/87 scale.

• The tender axle stl must be printed in 3 copies.

• orientation advice (see screenshots): 10° roll and 60° pitch

• The model is already hollowed out, with holes for draining resin under the chassis.

• A slight grinding of the tenons is required for interlocking (mainly the length of the tender axle shafts).

• The tender coupler is difficult to fit to the loco because of the hoses hanging from the loco and going to the tender, I had to recut these hoses a little to allow fitting.

• BE CAREFUL TO FIND THE RIGHT INSTALLATION OF THE DRIVE AXLES BEFORE GLUEING, to match the position of the connecting rod (wheel counterweights to be placed towards the rear on the left of the loco, and counterweights at the top on the right of the loco).

• I recommend painting all parts before gluing.

• Very thin parts such as the sand tubes and the hoops around the lanterns didn't print in 100% of my 1/87 trials (see photos).
