I have strated to pick up info for scratchbuilding an 1-35 russian steam engine Type"O" (Ovechka) dressed up as a military loco ( may be partially armored) on the basis of the info provided by Mr. Michael Derela, from the PIBWL Site, 4 view Plans from MK Magazine and a sole photo of the military example SMIALY SZEROCKI in the Polish site, because this particular armour pattern may be the final choice as configuration of my subject, since it does not hide under the armor plating such capital details as boiler,engine gyzmos, wheels,etc.
Any photo of OVECHKA TYPE LOCO, of the particular SMIALY SZEROCKI(Wide Gauge) or even from this particular machine in it´s original russian shape, will be greatly appreciated
Hi Eduardo I have a huge book on Soviet/Russian steam locos at home. It has countless of drawings of the different versions of the class O. As the book is huge I may have troubles fitting it in my scanner, but I'll try.
Unfortunately a search on the web doesn't produce much material - but here is two images:
Thanks to your help I have solved manyimportant questions and I have advanced a lot. I hope get you back your kindness any time, just let me know. By the way, I completed :boiler(details included), full chasis, armored cab, engine side boxes. Any single rivet has been located yet, as well as the armored dome, chimmeney and tubing.Plus I have akready painted the crew, and build up a 46,8 cm long trackway ready for being painted.Today I hope to complete walkways.
