About LT – locotractor by Stefano Bertola
Locotractor for railway handling; narrow gauge system.
Freely inspired by locotractors in service in the Rhaetian railway workshops, it is powered by the powerful Lego 43362 engine (black).
The power supply with 9v speed regulator allows perfect modularity of the power.
The traction is on four wheels with final transmission with double worm screw (reduction ratio 1:12).
The locotractor, equipped with ballast, allows the movement of heavy trains.
Four steering rubber wheels allow travel on the road; the wheels are retractable.
The functional flashing light completes the safety equipment.
The vehicle is radio-controlled by the skilled worker.
