AKANE H-8 2-6-6-6 アメリカ型蒸気機関車　1962年製　缶モータ　換装　前照灯1.3V 定電圧点灯　元箱付　 Allegheny　1/87 HO

大型缶モーター搭載 動輪全軸駆動で 製造後60年以上経た今も 快走します。

2000年頃 アメリカのブラスモデル専門店 The Cabooseから購入しました。ダイキャストをあまり用いず ほとんど真鍮はんだ付けで

できています。出荷検査書付き

4-8-8-4 ビッグボーイほど 2-6-6-6 アレゲー二イは有名ではありませんが,同じくらい力持ちな機関車でした。

丈夫で長持ちが定評のアカネ製で 製造後 60数年を経た今も 快走します。

自家塗装でエッチングプライマー処理していないので塗膜はやや弱いです。デカールは チャンピオンデカールを購入し張りました。

大型缶モーターでしっかり走り 牽引力も重量も相まってあります。

古いものなので 状態を維持するのにはメンテスキル、工作力がある程度必要です。テンダーのステップひとつ 鐘など欠品です。

他詳細は写真で詳細ご覧になり NCNRご了承の方のみ入札ください。

以下 wikiepdiaより

The 2-6-6-6 (in Whyte notation) is an articulated locomotive type with two leading wheels, two sets of six driving wheels and six trailing wheels. Only two classes of the 2-6-6-6 type were built. One was the "Allegheny" class, built by the Lima Locomotive Works. The name comes from the locomotive's first service with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway beginning in 1941, where it was used to haul loaded coal trains over the Allegheny Mountains. The other was the "Blue Ridge" class for the Virginian Railway. These were some of the most powerful reciprocating steam locomotives ever built, at 7,500 hp (which was exceeded by only the Pennsylvania Railroad class Q2 in indicated horsepower), and one of the heaviest at 386 tons for the locomotive itself plus 215 tons for the loaded tender.

Other equivalent classifications are:
UIC classification: 1CC3 (also known as German classification and Italian classification)
French classification: 130+033
Turkish classification: 34+36
Swiss classification: 3/4+3/6

The UIC classification is refined to (1'C)C3' for simple articulated locomotives.

Two classes of 2-6-6-6 locomotives were built: the sixty H-8 "Allegheny" class locomotives for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway (C&O) between 1941 and 1948,[1] and the eight AG "Blue Ridge" class locomotives for the Virginian Railway in 1945.[2] (The locomotives were Series AG on the Virginian. This was an abbreviation for "Articulated, Series G", not, as is sometimes thought, for "Allegheny".) All were built by the Lima Locomotive Works. The "Allegheny" name refers to the C&O locomotives' job of hauling coal trains over the Allegheny Mountains. C&O-1601's power output is 7,500 hp.[3]
