Greetings Anton
Hi Anton, thank you very much for the compliments!
You asked a great question about the toothpick. The answer is that the brakeman's cabin is not yet glued, so between the toothpick and the little brass bar you see below the frame, I had tied a small rubber band to keep the cabin in place...the brakeman's cabin will then have its floor and all handbrake linkages.

An interesting Italian video from 1935 in which you can see the mobile container system made in Italy. From the middle of the film you can also see the containers of the German "Von haus zu haus" system loaded onto Italian flatbed wagons and some "crash tests" with the various containers.
Ciao Antonio
Something new!
Refrigerated Hg carriage 1940 with brakeman's cab and hand brake.
The project is optimized for maximum quality with the filament printer; there are many small parts that can be applied separately for greater detail.
The carriage will be finished soon.
Hg 1940 - Breda brake system - Dingler axles and brake taps.
kit available
Looking very good - what does a kit cost? 🙂

Hi, thank you very much...actually this is the best quality I can get with filament printing...it requires over 100 hours to print all parts and get that detail.
The complete kit with Dingler axles and taps, ball bearings, and brass rods would cost €260, but if you live in Germany, it's better to buy all the accessories yourself, saving on shipping costs, because I'd obviously have to cover the shipping costs for those parts back to Italy.
In this case, the cost of the plastic parts alone is €180 plus shipping. You only need two "1-meter axles" and a set of brake taps (Dingler), 2 hooks (Marklin), four ball bearings (Amazon), and 1mm and 0.8mm brass rods.
If you want to mount different hooks than the Marklin ones, you will have to communicate to me the dimensions of the rod so that I can modify the project to print the components based on the hooks.
Ciao
