CHASSIS

The support chassis is fabricated from three single piece units, two at each extremity in plastic, and one central in metal. These pieces are equipped with coupling joints which couple into each other that becomes one single unit and which is then fitted into the side frames body complete with support bars; this guarantees a simple assembly and eliminates undesirable play. The chassis is finely reproduced with all relevant details.

ISOSTATIC BOGIE

The bogie is equipped with the two sides connected to the centre of the bogie, which are free to pivot in respect of the play, and these rotational movements guarantee better contact between wheels and track in all conditions.

HANDRAILS

The handrails have been realized partly in metal and partly in plastic; those in metal fit in between the upper deck and the side frame bodies and between these and the chassis. Those in plastic have to be mounted in the provided locations easily visible on the side frame bodies themselves.

COUPLING

The extending coupling has been designed according to NEM standards.
