S 3/6 BAUREIHE LOKOMOTIVE (Revell)

This is the Revell 1:87 (OO/HO) scale kit of the German (Bavarian) Class S 3/6 steam locomotive. 

The engines were produced for 25 years (1908-1931), and 159 units were built. This was exceptionally rare. These were express train locomotives with a 2-3-1 arrangement. It was designed by the Maffei company engineers Anton Hammel und Heinrich Leppla. Several were taken by France and Belgium under the Treaty of Versailles. It had a top speed of 120 km/h.

Overall paint is a testers "engine black" with much matting and highlighting. Lights have small clear lenses. Sadly I lost the decals so went with a minimalist marking of just the engine number. Various rust and smoke and dirt powders were applied.

UPDATE: This model placed first in the giant CAPCON biennial model contest on 28 September 2019 at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. (trains)
