Hi all,

Finally got the LS Model Bcmz 50-70/59-70! Allthough not as astonishing as the LS Model T2s it was worth the waiting.

Compared to their superior T2s, this Bcmz is a little less detailed. It seems the painting is of a lesser level as well. The gutters above the doors for instance have very thin paint. Also the (springed) puffers are a bit out off allignment as is the rubber bulge at the end of the coach.. Not a great deal, but with their sublime T2s expectancies had rizen to high levels.

Mind to change the wheels as it comes with DC wheelsets! Since this job is a bit difficult, you'd better ask your supplier.

The Bcmz 50-70/59-70 allthough is a nice set. I'd say 8 out of 10 points.

Here are some pic's.

Rinus,

I have the more recent liveries of this coach type. I am not quite sure what you mean by the quality difference between these coaches and the T2S. All of my LSM models are of similar quality and in cases where there has been a problem (eg LSM 47214/47231 where there was a misprint in the mold), LSM replaced them no charge.

I did notice that you have installed the couplers only to the first notch. The LSM coupling shafts have two positions, the second which will allow for complete close coupling operation.

My Bcmz coaches look amazing with the AB32 and ex-CNL sleepers (Memoba Sondermodell) and ACME MAV coaches in my Wiener Walzer consist. I also have some of the older ones with a RailTop AB30 (Type P) for my EN Zurichsee consist.
