In the above version, there is a screw, and the wheel bearings are different. Even lettering is different. Nothing is mentioned in Lokmuseum. They were produced in 1950` and precise dating of the shown variants is appreciated by those more familiar with the variants than I am. Thanks

Thanks The most reliable source for noting differences is a Kolls Catalog.

The only differences between the 321.1 (1947-1949) and .2 (1950-1951) are 1) the .2 brake house is without "brake spindle" and 2) the .1 uses the Type 4.2 couplers while the .2 uses the Type 5. Your image of the one without brake shoes looks like it has Type 5 couplers so it could be a 321.2. I'm unsure of what the "brake spindle" is in the brakeman's house. In Kolls' in Deutsch, "Bremserhaus ohne Bremsspindel" And this is if Koll's is 100% correct... I hope this helps, Brian
