The Revell 02168 Express locomotive S3/6 BR18 with tender is a faithfully reproduced plastic model kit, depicting the legendary Bavarian steam locomotive with tender in 1/87 scale. The set is dedicated to all railway history enthusiasts and advanced modelers who appreciate the precision of details and the recreation of authentic technical solutions from the early 20th century.

• Scale: 1/87 (H0) – fits perfectly into dioramas and model railway layouts
• Country of operation: Germany, Bavaria
• Historical period: S 3/6 series locomotives were produced from 1908 to 1931, used from the interwar period through World War II, up to the early 1950s.
• The model reproduces an authentic express locomotive with tender – one of the most prestigious machines of the Royal Bavarian State Railways and later the Deutsche Reichsbahn.
• The S3/6 was characterized by its innovative three-axle drive system and excellent running stability; it achieved a power output of 1830 HP, enabling it to haul the fastest trains in Germany, including the luxurious Rheingold Express.
• Material: high-quality plastic, resistant to damage. The model requires painting and assembly (recommended Revell colors: 32108, 32112, 32187, 32191, 32192, 32199, 32301, 32302, 32330).

The Revell 02168 is an excellent choice for experienced modelers expecting maximum precision, as well as for enthusiasts of railway engineering history. We recommend this model as a unique addition to H0 scale collections and for fans of the steam era. A relatively high level of complexity – difficulty level: 4/5 – means that assembling and painting require appropriate time and precision. It is also a great base for your own upgrades, such as additional weathering effects or installing accessories dedicated to model railway layouts.

This model stands out with its authenticity of details, replication of original proportions, and attention to historical specifics, allowing every railway enthusiast to immerse themselves in the golden age of steam and feel the atmosphere of Bavarian railway stations and routes.
