This is literally what happens to me, all of a sudden i like trains again and boom

same here absolutely, i suddenly decided to get into n scale model trains which are much smaller scale 1/160, especially in old era steam locomotives like this one. even bought one its Japanese d51, now i plan to connect all the rooms with railways via wall shelfs so my wife can load the cargo wagons with tangerines and send them to me from the kitchen.

Same here!

Same! Sometimes train, then planes, then trucks. A delightfull fluctuation of transport obsessions :p

My interest comes and goes too.

I wonder what he considers major modifications

Same... Obsessed with them👍

..."👌👍"...Me too🧑‍🎄

yes same

Why not? This is the big pro of model railroad, you can mix models who would never see each other in real life. The BR-80 is also a nice, very modern, post war looking little steamer. But was developed in 1925 and the first ones came in service in 1928. This loco was far ahead of it time with a fully closed standardized cab.

Přesně !!👍👍👍

I'd love to set up my Marklin trains again, but the new house is open plan and I have 3 feline Gojiras. 😂😭

this is the comment i was looking for

775 of this locomotive built - 20 destroyed in the war. More trains claimed than hit, I think - but at 300 mph with flak and smoke everywhere, who can blame them? Still, safer to be a BR86 driver than a Typhoon pilot.

This kit shows a standard lokomotive, like they were build throughout the 1930th. During the war, the constrution was slightly simplified. Those lokomotives had only one window on the side of the cabin and the smale wheels had no Strokes. Those changes were mainly made to reduce the necessary work to build such a lokomotive and therefore increase the output of the manufactureres. Painting the whole locomotive in gray had the same aim. And maybe it reduces the visibility of them top As long as petroleum or gas was used for lighting the locomotives, the lamps had to be cleaned regularly and therefore only those lamps were mounted on the locomotives, which were actually needed. When the elétricity was introduced for lighting of the locomotives, the lamps were no longer polluted by soot and therefore could stay on the locomotives. Since the 1950th locomotives have to be equiped with three lights to easyly distinguish them from road vehicles. Previously the third light on the locomotives were used as a signál, to indicate something unusual to people working along the line. For example, it could be essentiell to know for people working there, if a train uses the usual track or the other one! And there were also combinations of light to indicate, that there will additional trains on the line and from which direction they have to be expected! Oh, by the way, those signs on the side of the cabin with the eagle were usually used during the war. They were introduced before indeed, but there was not enough time that they were wildly spreaded. During the war the old signs were melted to gain metall for weapons.and relaced by those with the "Pleitegeier". But since they were more like a polítical statement instead of a sign for Germany, they were relaced immediatly at the end of the war. Therefore, when a locomotive has such a sign, the time can be věry likely classified

As during the war. But with the beginning of the war there was a fear of foreign aircrafts and therefore all lamps had to be covered. This Black Out was obligatory and any disregardence could be punished as a hostile action. On the other hand, those people working on this engine were happy when they were not detected by foreign soldiers or partisans! But on many models of vehicles
