Catalogue information
Version: single cardan drive without flywheel, two axles of one bogie are driven, all wheels of this bogie have anti-slip tires; pulling force: 1.0 N Note: This model, introduced in 1982, was the first Lima model with shaft drive. This model is also well detailed and is not too high on the base. The latter only occurs with the SNCF CC 14000/14100. However, the new drive was not completely free of criticism, so that not many models with single shaft drive appeared on the market. The DB V80/280, the SBB Re 4/4 II and the FS D 342, were the only ones that got and kept this drive. The BR 120 in this version was later fitted with a double cardan drive under catalog number 208035L. The driving characteristics of this locomotive are reasonable. If the load is too high, the drive shafts will start to bounce on the rails. Replacing the anti-slip tires with rubber ones has some effect, but not much. Rubber tires do pose a risk: if the locomotive is pushed manually with the wheels stationary, the gears can easily break.
