Platz 1/35 Breuer IV Rail Shunter Plastic Model

- Experience the charm of a distinct locomotive model. This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit replicating the Breuer Type IV shunting locomotive used by the German Imperial Railway from the 1920s through World War II.

About the Real Machine

- Primarily used for switching freight cars in rail operations, the Breuer locomotive excelled in its role. The Type IV featured a two-axle vehicle with a wheelbase of 2810mm and was characterized by an extremely narrow 890mm wide driver's cab in a reverse T-shaped body equipped with an engine. By connecting to non-powered freight cars, it transformed them into powered vehicles for operational use. Different types were produced with improved engine outputs and exported worldwide. Licensed productions were also conducted by many manufacturers globally, including those in Denmark and Finland.

About the Model

- This plastic model assembly kit accurately recreates the Breuer shunting locomotives operated by Germany during World War II in a 1/35 scale. With over 150 parts, not just the style but also the intricate mechanisms have been modeled in detail using new molds. The model replicates the Type IV equipped with a closed cab. The exterior includes detailed design elements such as bolts, hinges, and headlights. The cab doors can be assembled to open or close. Interior details include operational levers and floor tread pattern, while windows at the front and rear of the cab can be chosen to open or closed, allowing for varied expressions in assembly. Additional optional parts are provided to build either wartime or postwar configurations. Display track parts are included, showcasing details of railroad ties and tracks that should not be missed. The track can be assembled in a straight or curved form, offering flexibility for display. Creating a diorama base for display adds another layer of enjoyment. Additionally, a figure of a German railway worker is included. This model can be combined with separately sold items like tank transportation flatbed cars, covered wagons, and rail sets for expanded display possibilities.
