Technical data and description |
|
|
|
The wood-tippers are made of real Swiss ecologic pine wood, copper, brass, German silver, plastic for the isolation of the wheels, stainless steel and nickeled steel for the axes. No photo-etched parts are used; instead they are all to scale (1:45) milled and turned parts. The brass and copper parts are soldered and the wood milled and cut by hand. The metal fittings only are painted black. The rest is natural and bare, untreated (Swiss) wood as the real one. (On demand a paint-job for the wood with an exact description is with an supplementary price possible) |
|
|
Like the real wagon the tipper disposes of two locking-levers of the unloading hatch which work like the real Red arrow, the lever is unlocked. White arrow the lever is locked.

bearings of the tipper-box are shown here. They are made open like

1. Green marking cheaper version with the metal sheet protection and angle 1. The first woodtippers were made without steel base sheet and protection. For the transport of salt and delicate form- sands, all kind of protection was renounced to keep the material off the steel contact in keeping the best quality all the way long. |
