The Revell 02168 recreates the German express locomotive S 3/6 BR 18(5) along with its tender 2’2’T. This plastic model kit to be assembled is made at a scale of 1/87, a scale also used for H0 railway layouts.

A prestigious steam locomotive

The S 3/6 belongs to the family of German express steam locomotives from the early 20th century. Known for its elegant silhouette and large driving wheels, it was used to haul fast trains. The designation BR 18(5) corresponds to its classification within the German railway system.

The Revell 02168 model

This 1/87 replica includes 154 parts. Once assembled, it measures 284 mm long, 39 mm wide, and 64 mm high. The assembly allows you to recreate the entire locomotive-tender set, including the characteristic elements of a steam engine: boiler, driving wheels, valve gear and tender.

Classified Level 5 by Revell, this model is intended for experienced model makers who already have solid skills in assembling and painting plastic kits. Preparing the parts, precisely gluing small components, and carefully painting the model will help highlight the locomotive and tender’s details.

At a scale of 1/87, the dimensions of the real vehicle are reduced by a factor of 87. This format is suitable for display in a glass case as well as for integration into an H0-type railway scene.
