T 334.0 / V36 / BR 103 (DR) H0 Chassis Kit – Triple Axle Suspension

This chassis kit was primarily developed for the T334.0 (H0) model by Vacek, but thanks to its versatile design, it is also an excellent choice for resin casts or 3D-printed bodies. This locomotive was also used in German industrial plants (often under the original T334 designation) and by the DR as Class BR 103 / V36.

Building the chassis yourself brings not only the joy of the result but also a deeper understanding of the machine's mechanics. You get the opportunity to build the entire model with your own hands, exactly as you want it. Assembling the drive from prepared parts gives you full control over its properties, a new experience, and the certainty that your "Rosnička" will run exactly according to your expectations.

Requires a steady hand and clean soldering. The gearbox assembly will slow you down a bit, but the reward is a level of precision you won't find in any box.

Key Advantages:

  • Prototypical Accuracy: The wheelbase exactly matches the real locomotive (please note that it may differ slightly from the original Vacek plastic moldings).
  • Superior Running Qualities: Unlike simplified drives on the market, our chassis features power on all three axles driven by a quiet coreless RIC motor with two flywheels.
  • Excellent Adhesion and Pickup: All axles are fully suspended within the frame. This ensures smooth running even on uneven tracks and reliable electrical contact at all times.

High-Quality Components: Equipped with proven LUCK wheels, precision-machined ALS gears, and a coreless motor with dual flywheels.

Kit Contents:
The set contains everything needed to build the mechanical part of the chassis:

  • Frame: Etched nickel silver (alpaca) chassis and gearbox housings + laser-cut brass main frame (variants available for Vacek / Locolab).
  • Gearing: Brass worms, ALS M0.3 plastic gears, brass bushings, and shafts.
  • Drive: Coreless RIC 1020 motor, 2x flywheels, ALS cardan set.
  • Power Pickups: Etched 0.1 mm bronze wipers, plastic screws, and washers for insulated mounting.
  • Wheelset: Double-insulated LUCK 11.4 mm wheels (RP25 or NEM311 variants), steel spring wire for axle suspension.

Important Build Information:
This kit is suitable for experienced modelers. It requires skills in working with etched parts and precise assembly of gearboxes (pressing gears and worms onto shafts).

DCC: Digitalization is possible by connecting a decoder to the motor and pickup wires according to the decoder manufacturer's instructions.
