Usually, it is my custom
When buying a new model
First make a video unboxing
I speak of the newly purchased model
in its "raw"
or rather, in the state where I get
and after him, if necessary, any changes
in this case
was the first time, where before I made the changes
and only after I made a video unboxing
the reason is very simple:
this model: the Roco 43826.3
It is a very very old model
and when I bought it
the seller claimed, then eventually with reason
he had a predisposition for digital
while in various news that I found online
this information was not there
indeed they said that it was without
the seller rightly pointed out
that on the box is the symbol
and it is true: it is equipped! But after purchasing I wanted to see for themselves
since it was new and he had not opened
I just arrived
calmly
The first thing I did
It was to remove the upper mantle
to see the logic board
this operation
which ended with no damage to the model
actually it was very complicated
because, even because of old plastic
which had become tougher
I had the eternal fear of breaking something
once dismantled
and having regard to the NEM socket that was actually present
I did not want to reassemble the mantle
because of fear
in a second disassembly
I might break something
and then it would have been a big problem
then, in the previous video
you have seen the changes and how we converted this model for the 3 rails
and the assembly of the hooks TELEX
Now we will see the various details that this model has to offer
As I said the other videos
the weight of this model is very high
so much so that to remove it from the box
comes this "sheet" of plastic arranged a "U"
so that it can then take and lift
In the box, just below the logo Roco
There are a number of additional envelopes
here now also you find the cover socket NEM
because there's already installed the decoder
and as many as 3 different types of hooks
although they are all in accordance with NEM
depending on the type of system, one can mount
the type of hook that prefers
us as you recall, we put the Telex hooks
The model is high detailed
reported with many details
Several also be mounted
Now you find mounted several
except for a rear ladder
above, above the bumper, as it was not included
probably has been lost
or I lost or I was lost before
the model will travel mainly in this direction
so it does not disturb me too much
you do not find even the wipers mounted
in that they are infinitely small
and I made a beastly effort in trying to mount them
I eventually gave up
in the package also found 2 types of plowshares
ie this part below
depending on whether we want to go to use the hook
or not
I'll explain:
when it is mounted the hook
for traction or for pushing
the latter will have a game due to the fixing in the basket
if this hook will not go to the mount
or even more if you're going to put this model as a showcase exhibition
then of course, we will not ride the towbar
It is included another plow
with a space below relatively lower
and a series of tubes
plastic to be mounted in the plowshare
to faithfully reproduce the front of this model
They are also given several written
on the whole of the upper plastic mantle
some are really tiny given the scale
1:87, though the writing is great about ten centimeters
Here it is equal to a few millimeters
maybe I can show her with the zoom
and photos.
The various plates of the model
present up here in red
sketches of the driver and the conductor
present in the cabin number 1
in this case the cabin 1, in my case the cabin 1
It will be the one present on the carriage which is mounted the shoe
actually cabins are also numbered on the logic board
so much so that perhaps there I had pointed out
there was little number 1 indicating the side of the cab 1
and the front carriage
This model is an E.412
I'm on duty, at the State Railways a limited number
and they work most of the border with Austria
if I'm not wrong
or with another country...
In fact this model, in reality
It has the distinction of having:
dual controls, both right and left
and also two different types of pantographs
if you notice
the central part of the contact strip
this one
here is this long, but here is short
in fact these are poly-voltage locomotives
poly-voltage which can circulate on both Italian circuit
3000 volts DC
that of AC systems with other catenaries
On the roof are present and the various equipment have been reported
some of the links have games
because the additional factory was so mounted
In brass, plastic or painted anyway, but I think they are brass
They are also reported whistles
and trumpets
There are also a number of antennas for remote communication
Now I'm not sure, but maybe this type of locomotive is also suitable for remote control
but I have the certainty
the model is also detailed in the lower part
with reported gimbals that from the central engine feed the two bogies
reproduction of the various cylinders of the brake pneumatic system
Below, where there is the written Roco, the decoder is installed
you will have seen in the video
some users have converted this model also to sound
with LokSound
have included, I think after the application of some holes in the sub-fund to make out the sound
Here the speaker and have then put the decoder in the above
indeed there was space between
the roof and the logic board
I would also add, as I mentioned in the other videos
that the two pantographs, besides being very aesthetically beautiful
They are also mechanically, but also electrically acts operation
In fact, if you remember
in the upper mantle plastic, runs a slat
that connects the two pantographs to the logic board via a conductor pin
In returning I left the opportunity to collect the current from the active pantograph
because there is a selector
with which you can choose to use on the outlet from the rails or by pantographs
or both
In Roco manual, it is recommended for use with the digital, to use only taken from the rails
in my model that will be relatively small
If you ever want to equip it with catenary working, I preferred to let him
however, going to change this possibility
just go to remove the cloak
and to amend the selector
As I said this locomotive is very heavy
because all the internal skeleton
It is reproduced in metal
this thing is very positive
and it is also very beautiful
as it allows you to model
to have a very high tensile strength
Originally, all 4 axes would be fed
the engine-driven
in our case we have to idle one of them
where it is present the shoe
Original Roco, in this conversion we only used original pieces
The decoder is mounted a LokPilot V4 M4
in such a way as to exploit the functionality MFX
the Märklin units
Now I would see him on the track
or better to see how it behaves under command of the control unit
Here at last the test track
as you may have noticed immediately, it is night
because at the moment to make the test video on the track
I was reported, the Mobile Station, a short circuit
at that, since it had never happened, I had to take the locomotive
take it apart and see if everything was okay
I have not found anything that
I redecorated a number of welds that seemed a bit 'unsafe
but there was no problem
Also it is true that as soon as I put it on the track
He did not signal anything
so he wanted to just give me some trouble
Now let's hope there are no more setbacks
before I made further verification
we hope that now when recording does not cause problems
then we talked to be equipped with a decoder MFX
then just I am going to remove the stop
OK perfect
it is recognized
the name I gave him is the model
the locomotive, a E412
or E.412, depending on how you want to say
the number 003
Feature This is the number on the frame
this being a Mobile Station 1 is marked to me:
the front hook with the appropriate icon
while the rear hook with a generic icon "F"
we feel that the lights work
ok, three white lights in front
and the 2 red lights
decoder programmed with the Rule 17
so now it is stopped, you will notice much more on front
the lights are dimmed
It is given as soon as the starting signal
the brightness returns to 100%
in such a way as not to annoy when it stops at the station
the red lights behind, are nothing more than a light bulb
which it was colored, so the effect is not too realistic
as I said during the presentation
2 different types of pantographs
because of the possible lines on which can circulate
It tracks which can sometimes have some problems
both acts to... "touch touch touch..."
to take power from a hypothetical airline
in the sales package as I said there are two plowshares
can be fitted, depending on whether you want to use the model in operation
or Featured
Now we're here, I can afford to have
more details on the roof
wagon back there is a dining car of the SBB
I want to use to make a practical test
Telex of the hook, which I have not yet got to try
I had difficulty in the procedure with the rear hook
because touching the plow, you see it down there
It is lifted, and does not allow the maneuver
I will then make a mini corrective action N.B. And 'Just remove the plow to solve the problem
the front one, instead I did some tests
and it works only if the two rail vehicles are perfectly straight
Now this is a very long relatively carriage
N.B. The coupling problem is due to defective hook, with these products can sometimes happen
so it needs a lot of space
at this time
the locomotive is slightly curve
while the wagon, it is virtually everything on straight track
we kept testing the hook speed
no, the opposite speed
opposite direction
putting a "5" speed
this should be the third generation Telex
and therefore should allow
Also the hooking
the hooks of current conductors
which instead with the telex second generation
probably the one mounted on the BR 44
He went to ground and short-circuit was
You notice what should be the rear Telex
which is raised because of the ploughshare
I will try to fix it in some way N.B. It is enough to remove the plow
and for the rest there is no more to say
an opinion-blank on this model
I can say that being a model Roco
is a striking model, really well made
the mechanics are excellent, quiet and powerful
I could get my hands on without creating or encounter any problems
thanks to good engineering
It is equipped with many details at this time lacking the wipers
it being very small, I had great difficulty and at the end I gave up
not putting them I will have less chance of finding some additional dispersed
as you can see on the beats ploughshare
which therefore tends to raise
I would say that it is an excellent model
and if one manages to buy it at a price maybe a bit 'lower
it also said that in fact these models are almost identical
maybe change small details and the livery
so this model is several years ago
It is perhaps removed the engine, which is the previous generation
It is similar in almost every way to a newer model
with the difference that this has been paid 100 €
while new ones cost between € 150 and 180.
I greet you, I hope you enjoyed this video
as much as it pleased me this model
I'm very proud
although these Telex hooks they gave me a number of problems
See you to the next video! THANK YOU ALL!
