Under reference REE MODELES MB129, here is a sumptuous steam locomotive 6-141 E 458 analogue black, with tender of 25m3, from the SNCF, in HO 1/87th scale and of period III, 2 rails.
Characteristics of the 141 E 458 locomotive in model:
- DC model, fitted with a 21-pin NEM decoder socket for possible digitisation.
- Dummy front and rear lights.
- Locomotive featuring numerous details: double chimney, small smoke screens, DABEG pump, Tender 25m3 A 88.
This model is also available in a digital sound version with pulsating smoke, running on a 2-rail system (direct current) under the reference REE MODELS MB129S, but also running on a 3-rail system (alternating current) under the reference REE MODELS MB129SAC.
A little history:
The 141 E steam locomotives are engines developed on the PLM 141 C model (having seen the light of day in 1918). Basically, these locomotives are locomotives known as MIKADO, composed as follows: 1 carrying bissel, 4 driving axles, 1 carrying bissel ("1", "4", "1" -> 141). These are "compound" type locomotives offering significant traction qualities (very good climbers), and provided passenger and freight train transport for the PLM, then the SNCF.
From 1 January 1938, the 141 C series was integrated into the SNCF. They then began to receive certain modifications resulting in the appearance of the 141 D , 141 E, then 141 F versions.
The 141 D differed from the 141 C by the addition of boiler feed water heaters (ACFI or DABEG System). These were arranged laterally alongside the boiler on the machine deck.
Following this, these locomotives would also be transformed at exhaust level and would be fitted with smoke screens. This would give birth to our 141 E!"
Finally, they would be transformed again in terms of the chassis by modifying the front load-bearing beam, to then reach a speed of 105 km/h. This would be the introduction of the 141 F.
