Building instructions for dolfmeister LEGO® MOC (My Own Creation)
RhB G 4/5 104 | Black
Class G 4/5 were the largest and most powerful steam engines of the Rhaetian Railways (RhB). Built in several lots, a total of 29 were put into service. Early efforts to electrify the network, due to the coal shortage during WW I, rendered these engines surperfluous and most were taken out of service during the 1920s. Sold to railways in Spain, Thailand and Brazil. they were in use there until the 1970s. Two examples remain with the RhB historic fleet; No. 107 named 'Albula' and No. 108 'Engiadina'.
This model represents an example of the first batch delivered in 1904 in black livery. It features the housing for the petroleum lamp on the cab roof and a small tender. Simulated Walschaert's valve motion and close-coupled tender. Designed to fit 4.5V or 12V train motor. Suitable for R40 curves.
Please note, this model is 10 studs wide at the cylinders and has significant overhang in curves, due to its length.
