E.T. Model E35-046 Steam Locomotive BR86 DRG Basic (For TRUMPETER 00217) 1/35 – Photo-Etched Parts Set

E.T. Model E35-046 Steam Locomotive BR86 DRG Basic is a high-quality set of photo-etched detail parts in 1:35 scale. The product is specifically designed for the Trumpeter 00217 model, representing the BR86 steam locomotive used by the German Reichsbahn (Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft, or DRG). This is an excellent choice for modelers who want to give their steam locomotive models an authentic historical appearance and the highest level of detail.

The BR86 locomotive is one of the most recognizable German steam engines, produced from 1928 to 1943. It was widely used during World War II, on both civilian and military routes, across all areas of Europe occupied by the Third Reich. Its versatility was owed to its design, which allowed it to operate on both mainlines and local tracks. After the war, many units continued serving in divided Germany.

This E.T. Model set consists of precision photo-etched parts made from high-grade metal. It includes details such as steps, grills, fans, platforms, and numerous small accessories for the locomotive infrastructure that are not available in standard plastic models. They allow you to replicate the most intricate and realistic features of the BR86 locomotive, greatly enhancing its realism. The set does NOT include the locomotive model itself — it is a set of extras for the Trumpeter 00217 model.
