Steam locomotive 42 2332 in black/red paint, with third peak light.While many metals were scarce and had to be saved where one could, in the production of the models in wartime, we went the opposite way with our new Arnold model!The heavy goods train towing locomotive in track N is almost completely made of high-quality die-cast metal. The motor placed in the boiler is quiet, strong enough and has a brass flywheel mass, in the tender there is space for decoders and loudspeakers.Almost always, and in Germany as well as in Austria, the models were shown in front of long coal trains, among other things. Therefore the new Arnold models are the perfect train locomotives for the wagon sets HN6381, HN6382 and HN6383.The production of the 42 series, which was initially called âKDL 3â, began in 1943. After the Second World War, the 1,000 or so machines were scattered all over Europe and were partly rebuilt until 1949.With the Austrian Federal Railways, the last BR 42 went out of service only in 1968, in Germany a little earlier.This text is machine translated.
