Steam locomotive series 1

TheBelgian queen with the brawny power
The crowning glory of Belgian steam locomotive construction was undoubtedly the mighty Pacifics of series 1. Between 1935 and 1938, 35 examples were built as 1.001-1.035. Their extremely successful exterior design vividly characterized their brawny power. They were mostly used in front of the heavy express trains on the Ostend - Brussels - Liège - Aachen route and on the steep route from Brussels via Arlon to Luxembourg City with an average speed of 80 or even 100 km/h. The 1.001-1.035 were built with a power output of 400 hp. With an output of 3,400 PSI, wheelset load of 22 t and a top speed of 120 km/h, they were also in a top position in an international comparison.

Prototype: Belgian State Railways (SNCB/NMBS) class 1 express steam locomotive. Road number 1.030. State of running around 1953/54.

Highlights

• New design.

• Smoke generator installed as standard equipment.

• The emergency lights can be controlled separately in digital operation.

• Cab lighting can be controlled separately in digital operation.

• Fire flickering in the firebox can be controlled digitally.

Model: The locomotive has an mfx digital decoder and extensive light and sound functions. The locomotive has controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a flywheel in the boiler. Three axles powered. Traction tires. Locomotive and tender constructed mostly of metal. A smoke generator is standard equipment. Direction-dependent changing headlights on the locomotive and tender and built-in smoke generator will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The emergency light on the smoke box door can be separately controlled digitally. In addition, a cab light and the fire flicker in the firebox can be controlled separately digitally. Maintenance-free warm white and red LEDs are used for the lighting. Adjustable coupler with kinematics between the locomotive and tender. The tender has a close coupler with kinematics and an NEM shaft. The locomotive can negotiate curves of 437.5 mm radius (radius 2) without restriction, taking into account the clearance gauge. The locomotive can also negotiate the 360 mm radius (radius 1) without observing the clearance gauge. Brake hoses, imitation screw couplers, and signal holders are included. Length over buffers approx. 28.4 cm.
