Weinert novelty available

It has taken a long time, as the manufacturer also noted. But now the finest telephone box for Z gauge is finally on the market and available as a kit for everyone.

 

Weinert Modellbau has also brought an important new product to Intermodellbau Dortmund: The FeH 53 telephone box (item no. 6861), which was already announced in 2022, is now available. It can be purchased as a kit made of etched and cast brass parts. The manufacturer recommends fine soldering on the pre-folded body, also for the door handle to be used separately. In our opinion, glue is also an option here, although we do not recommend using superglue. Foil glazing should then also be possible without any problems.

Everything has been thought of in terms of the details: The roof also shows the slight inclination in all four directions in the model, and on the cell floor we see the four concrete slabs with which the prototype was always covered. The characteristic coin-operated telephone of bygone times, including the telephone books suspended in a rack, is also moulded in brass. You should have some experience with etching kits and painting metal parts, as well as a flair for modelling.
