Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and running good, but the motor is really noisy, when the voltage is increased. This is not a fast loco, and so is meant to be run slowly. Could use an oiling, as I suspect there is none. Does not have split gears etc, as these are metal. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t. Please don’t assume there is.

Rivarossi HR2892S Db Steam Locomotive 055 632-4 Black/red Gauge 1:87 Scale. The Royal Prussian State Railway put the D-coupled hot steam locomotive type G 8.1 into service in 1913. Robustly built and powerful, the BR 55. Locomotives, as they were known from the end of the 1920s, were in service with both the German and some European railway administrations until well after the Second World War. It was not until 1972 that the DB took the last locomotives out of service. The new Rivarossi models in brief. Chassis, wheelsets, boiler, and tender made from die-cast zinc; bodyshell made of high-grade, finely detailed injection-moulded plastic. High-efficiency five-pole motor with flywheel for smooth running? All locomotive axles are driven. Two wheels equipped with traction tyres for maximum tractive effort. Length over buffers: 210 mm. Minimum operating radius: 356.5 mm (R1). Firebox glows red-orange and flickers realistically under digital control (simulated firebox flicker). Fully detailed cab interior featuring separately applied components and printed cab curtains. Close-coupling kinematics between locomotive and tender for minimal buffer distances. Screw-type drawbar between loco and tender, length-adjustable for prototypical distances. NEM 362 coupling pockets at both ends for standard coupler compatibility. NEM 660 (21-pin MTC) digital decoder interface for easy DCC upgrade. Item Length – Without Packaging (cm). Item Height – Without Packaging (cm). Item Width – Without Packaging (cm).

Even if noted as running well, it is always advisable to do a proper clean and lube before extensive running as dust, old lube, aged rubber, etc all need attention. Specific comments for this item follow below. Tested and running very well, a nice locomotive. Slightly poor connection somewhere, as its a little intermitant. You will get what you see, if you don’t see it then it isn’t included. If not sure, please ask me. In particular, if I don’t show or state there is a box, or battery, etc then there isn’t.
