Koef II BR 323 - G Scale LGB Locomotive Maerklin Gauge 1

“Plug & Play” - Easy assembly version of the KöF II BR 323.
Dismountable and mountable as everything is pluggable... or with screws

This is a remake with the possibility of installing a variety of drives,
plus a custom-fit conversion motor mount for LGB drive 99095 - G/1 gauge,
meaning it can be easily assembled without much glue, and easily opened again.
Additionally... custom-fit mounting plates / base plates for additional weights
 

For the LGB motor, the middle support plate must be removed from the standard support frame along the white lines,
then drill out screw holes - almost done!

Drill out the remaining holes to the screw core diameter, this also applies to the new → buffer coupling block;
Screws of your choice, as available or from the hardware store.
For example, a screw with a small head diameter (max 5.0mm) for the exhaust,
as shown... next to the combination coupling, this holds the radiator hood on the LGB motor mount.
For this, an additional hole must be drilled on the radiator hood, where the support block is underneath.
Also necessary: 2 x D 8.0mm holes in the driver's cab to access the LGB motor block screws
The Lipo battery box has also been adopted, so it can also be driven with a battery

Handles made of 1.5 wire, → glue them, then also glue the two frame parts so that the motor is as far back as possible
 

Of course, you also need weights, for example, made of flat steel or silver bars as follows:

Rear two pieces 30x12x60 mm, once each middle 30x34x60mm, front 30x12x65, whoever wants also behind cooler 30x12x28.
The easier way: Go to the locksmith and have 6 pieces of flat steel cut to length... 30x8.25, common size always at 60 mm!

Have a lot of fun with it! And... get some enlightenment with LED!
