This is my interpretation of the NS Laes / DB Offs55 Autotransportwagen in Gauge1/1:32. Please take into account it's pretty large, measuring over 70 cm in length.
Some background information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCterwagen_der_Deutschen_Bundesbahn#Autotransportwagen
Construction:
- Use 1.5 mm wire for the handrails.
- Standard LGB/Märklin/Piko wheel sets (60 mm wide) are used.
- Wheels rotate in MR63ZZ.
- M2 and M3 bolts and 1.75 mm filament used to mount all items.
- The model looks very symetric. Please note 1 side is marked with circles in the frame, deck and gear, while the other side is marked with a square.
- This model can negotiate LGB R3 curves (diameter 2358 mm). Derailment in tighter curves seems guaranteed.
- To assure the central axle is always positioned perpendicular to the rail, a set of gears is used.
- The model can always be split in 3 parts, making it easier to transport. Position the gears correctly when re-assembling.
