RGS Galloping Goose #4
RGS Galloping Goose #4 |
Description: |
English below
In den 30er Jahren führte Colorado's berühmte Rio Grande Southern Railroad die "Galloping Goose" ein, eine seltsame Mischung von Pierce-Arrow Fahrzeugteilen und der Phantasie von Mechanikern, ein Fahrzeug welches Passagiere, Fracht und Post befördern konnte und nur mit einem Fahrer auskam. Die "Galloping Goose", konnte von der Rio Grande Southern Railroad so wirtschaftlich eingesetzt werden, daß diese Eisenbahn für noch weitere zwanzig Jahre existieren konnte und wobei gleichzeitig ein liebenswertes Fahrzeug entstand an dem sich Eisenbahnfans und Touristen für Jahre erfreuen konnten.
Das Modell:
Das detailgetreue Modell ist komplett aus Messing und Edelstahl gefertigt. Ein in USA hergestellter Pittman Motor in der Mitte des Fahrzeugs treibt das Drehgestell über ein zuverlässiges Druckgußmetall Getriebe an. Das Modell ist in Museumsqualität lackiert und beschriftet.
Alle von Accucraft angebotenen Geese findet man im Eintrag der rechten Seite der RGS Galloping Goose #2 hier:
