a 2nd generation 1550, modified with a
Glockenanker-motor - having a certain centrifugal mass
(motor with a bell-shaped armature
and a fly wheel). This drive was built / modified by Wolfgang
Linnenberger... and today runs in Luxemburg.

1500 on the motor test stand. But the expert soon
recognises the fake: one-sided (see below) mounted pick-up shoe! What was
that one good for? And the broken front buffer was replaced by a tin. More info about the test stand is given here |

 |
| I call this in Switzerland self-built 1500 conversion "EMMA". Emma was the name of a famous loco driven by Lukas - both very well known from a 1960 fairytale by Michael Ende. Despite several changes and conversions this loco works - limited. Since the on-/ off-lever was shortened the knob does not manage to operate as required . | |||
 |
 |
 |
|
| 1550 conversion with short chimey and additional - glued onto the front lamps - buffers. Possibly this engine was used on a layout with 0-wagon carrier truck operation? | |||
 |
 |
||
| 1550, combination of light and dark-gray, black wheels. There is still the need to gather some more information regarding this loco. The owner describes the engine as "original", the superstructure is original and of gray plastic (no gray painting). Wheels black. Whoever has any idea regarding this model - just let me know - millions of Biller Fans are waiting for an answer | |||
