THEMA: Hood-type Switcher with Sound and uncouplers!

THEMA: Hood-type Switcher with Sound and uncouplers!
Startbeitrag

Hello!
Recently I made Russian Hood-type heavy Switcher TEM2 from Atlas RSD4/5.

Changes:

1) For better pickup and pulling force aluminium Fuel tank was deleted, and plumbum expanded fuel tank was inserted.  The weight was increased from 67 to 87 gramms!

2) Atlas RSD4/5 has not fully powered trucks. I changed it into KATO fullypowered  RSC trucks.

3) All wheels and trucks were springed for better electrical pickup!

4) Small 8 Ohm  loudspeaker was inserted into fuel tank.

5) Two custom made knuckle uncouplers were inserted instead big screws.

6) Powerpack capacitor was installed into decoder for better performance.

7) Real grid was inserted at top of roof at nose for better ventilation of decoder.

8)See Video, how it works at Layout and with OPEN BODY :

9) See Video how springed trucks allow all wheels to be in touch with rails:

Hi Vadim,
nice work! What type of speaker do you use? It looks quite big...

You could also use ceramic capacitors with 100 µF, they are smaller than the tantals and you could include even more.

Hello Viele Grüße!
Thanks for respond!
As to Caps : Ceramic caps for 100mkf are awailable only for 6.3v
But I need it for 20V !

Therefore i still use tantalum chocolates!

Vadim
Hi Vadim,
look here ;)
http://shop.1001-digital.de/product_info.php?products_id=29

These are 16 V capacitors, but they can be used with a bit more, too. You could also decrease the voltage on your rails to 15 or 16 V, thats enough for N.

Viele Grüße
Carsten von 1001-digital
Thanks, Viele!

I see.
But they are for 16V!  
Powerpack capacitors  must be exactly for 20 V, or more for safety from burning!
I use 18V DCC for my layout.
16v caps can occasionally burn with serious loco damages!

Hi Vadim,
ceramic capacitors don't explode like defective tantal or electrolyte caps. They only get damaged internally. But anyways, it was just a hint :) I use those tiny monsters with great success :)

Hello Vadim!

You can buy photoetched kit of SM48 PKP (Polish state railways) heavy shunter. It's almost the same as Russian TEM2. Here is the link:
http://www.eaos.pl/sm48-n/
Kit costs 170 PLN - it's about 40 EUR.

Here you can find some additional parts (turned brass) for building SM48/TEM2:
http://www.forum.n-orma.pl/viewtopic.php?t=2191

Find attached photos of my SM48 (PKP green) and TEM2 (red, private operated). Still unfinished. Underframe and boogies are from M62/V200/ST44 Minitrix Taigatrommel.

Hope I helped a little.

Hello wiygN!

Thanks for respond!

Does this locos are powered?

Thanks, Viele!
I start using this ceramic capacitors, when they start produce it for 20-25V

Hallo nochmal!
Frage:

Wie wäre es mit deutschen Traditionen in Loks mit Kutten?
Sie haben N-Modellen der Motorhaube Typ Rangierloks mit Ton und Auslöser für den Rangier-Arbeit?

-----------
Vadim


============EN=========

Hello again!
Question:

How about German traditions in  locos with cowls?
Do You have N-scale  models of cowl-type shunting locomotives with sound and releasers for shunting work?

Vadim
Hallo nochmal.
Einige neue Klänge und Bewegungen dieser Lok:

Hallo ,

sehr interessant was du machst,leider kann ich dem ganzen nicht folgen da mein english nicht mehr so gut funktioniert.Schade.

Gruß
Andreas
Hey Vadim,
great work as ever.
I don't get the meaning of "locos with cowls"
Ah, wait, something like this one
http://www.drehscheibe-foren.de/foren/read.php?4,4744673
the Gravita should be one of these types.
With sound yes, but no uncoupler.
http://www.brawa.de/produkte/n/lokomotiven/dies...a-10bb-br260-db.html

The uncoupling function is the problem, your solution is great and should also work for the Rapido couplers.

Cheers Björn
Great Video and very very good pictures - of awesome work.

Congratulations Vadim, beautiful beautiful work!

kind regards,

Sebastian
Thanks to all for Your responds!

Hallo nochmal!


Du hast mir gesagt, dass Sie auch Modell von Rangierloks in Deutschland, Namen wie "Gravita"
Ich weiß auch, über Entkupplern von Lokomotiven aus Krois Unternehmen.

Ich habe eine andere Frage:

Wie wäre es mit der Entkupplern von Lokomotiven aus Krois Unternehmen?
Sie haben keine Erfahrung?

Hat es positive oder negative Ergebnisse?

Hello again!


You told me, that You also have model of shunting locomotives in Germany, names as "Gravita"
I also know about uncouplers of locomotives from Krois company.

Picture:

I have another QUESTION:  

How about using of uncouplers of locomotives  from Krois company?
Do You have any experience?

Does it positive or negative results?

Vadim


Hey Vadim,
there are a lot more shunting locomotives in Germany.
I think the main part takes this one here, and her sisters
http://www.bahnbilder.de/name/galerie/kategorie...eselloks~BR+363.html
larger shunting engines are this one
http://www.bahnbilder.de/name/galerie/kategorie...001-bis-294-408.html
smaller this one
http://www.bahnbilder.de/name/galerie/kategorie...eselloks~BR+332.html

old east germany locos
http://www.bahnbilder.de/name/galerie/kategorie...-60-dr-105--106.html

all are avaible as models


I have no experience with the Krois uncouplers. But it seems to work.
There are some discussions concerning the Krois uncouplers

Ok, it's german. So I just quick read it,
1 Problem: The coupler is larger then the standard rapido coupler, so you get a wider gap between the locomotive and the waggon
2 Problem: Supply seems short. You need luck to buy one.

There is one more solution for uncoupling

Greetings
Björn
Thanks, Bjorn.

I also have a couple of test samples of N-Scale Krois LocoUncouplers.
But, as You allready mentioned, it seems, that it lead to biger  space between cars, and require extremely straight track and precise mechanics of all cars in aim to be uncoupled.

Although my solution of Loco-uncouplers seems as quite dependable and work at wide angles  and do not require big space between cars, it looks like as USA or Russian railroad standart for automatishe couplings, but it does not look like German standart for railroad couplers. Moreover, my solution requires serious loco body modifications.
