Product Features and Details
Prototype:
Krupp built these impressive locomotives in 1923. They were tested by the Reichsbahn and then put into express service.

Model:
Because of the extensive detail and highly raised boiler producing this model we be a real challenge. The frame of this locomotive will also be very complicated because of all the partitions. Micro Metakit Claims that the Krupp T-18 will be one of the most complicated and intricate pieces yet and we can't wait to get our hands on one. New technology was used due to the extensive boiler, frame and piping work. The manufacturing process required over 700 molds and 2,000 parts! The model features a functional replicated turbine drive, full cab interior, under frame braking systems, interior boiler detail and brush less can motor.
