Germanys First Pacific
Badische Class IVf.
| The Badische class IV has to be one of the most
exquisite steam locomotives ever built. It was built by Maschinenbau-Gesellschaft
Karlsruhe. The Pacific 4-6-2 design and its smooth lines made it a true
classic and it was also the first pacific designed and built in Germany.
The Class IV was almost identical to the famous Bavarian class S3/6 with
some added features. It featured silver piping and handrails, a pointed
boiler nose with silver tip and large gold number plates. It was designed
for fast express service and ran between the states of Baden and Bavaria.
The Class IV's powerful four-cylinder drive was efficient and easy to
maintain, it set the standard for all four-cylinder locomotives produced
in Germany and around the world. The model of the class IV is handmade in brass; it features full cab interior, functional boiler hatch with full boiler details and a brushless, ironless bell motor. This model is a masterpiece and it features too many technical and optical details to list. Please keep in mind that quantities are extremely limited, we recommend you not to wait too long because they will sell fast. Micro Metakit will produce four versions; a total of only 300 will be made. We expect to take delivery sometime in May 2004. |
