About the real one:
The Jung R 42 C was built in 32 units between 1955 and 1962. It was based on the Wehrmacht locomotive R360C, the later V36. In addition to the predecessor companies of the Siegener Kreisbahn (KWD, FGE), it was used by other private and works railways. The German Armed Forces “Bundeswehr” also procured several examples painted in olive green.
Style: Siegener Kreisbahn, Freien Grunder Eisenbahn, Kleinbahn Weidenau-Deuz
About the moc:
The Jung R 42 C gondola locomotive of the Weidenau-Deuz (KWD) small railway was my first railway MOC in 2019. As there are now numerous new parts available and I have gained five more years of building experience, it was time to revise this model. The height of the superstructure in particular was not prototypical. The locomotive is now powered by a Technic L motor, as in the prototype, via the dummy shaft.
Minimum radius: R104

About the Designer:
Thomas was born towards the end of the 1960s. I work in IT for public transport. I mostly build in 1:42 scale for large radii. As a child I sawed, drilled, cut and painted bricks. Someone like that doesn't become a purist as an adult. If there are gaps in the abundant Danish offer, I sometimes print parts with the 3D printer or fall back on other manufacturers. My enthusiasm for railways was awakened and encouraged at the "Schwäbischen Eisenbahn" was awakened and encouraged in the 1980s. My workplace is in Aachen. All this is also reflected in many of my models.
