Lego Rivarossi ABL-R v1.2

            This little critter is one of the most famous Rivarossi locomotives.  It is a fantasy small shunter (loosely based on Badoni VII SPA 15T prototype)  and it was presented in 1955. There are many versions of this locomotive, including some with a pantograph (!) and an "americanized version" in black with white stripes. The original ABL/R ("R" stands for Rivarossi) was more in 1:80 than in 1:87. This is the same size of small Lima locomotives and it is as high as my V80, so I'd say it is an 1:87 scale. The original model has coupling rods, but I am still not able to get a proper geared transmission (and I have to find the right wheels!) , so I kept the rubber band transmission on the rear axle. In order to increase traction, some fishing weights are inserted inside the cabin.
