Fischer Modell tamper

[Taigatrommel]

I picked one of these up at Modell Hobby Spiel last week for €100, usual price is €119 I think.  It's a little sparse on detail tbh, and is unpowered, but sometimes one just fancies something a little different.  It would require additions to make it suitable for most of the Plasser & Theurer 07-32's British service life, but it's a good starting point.

Jolly nice, shame there isn't a Fischer-Modell supplier in the UK

That looks to be a straight scale-down of the old Liliput HO model.

Well it is the same prototype, so it should look the same, but when I saw it in the flesh, I had to check that it wasn't the Lilliput HO, because it has extremely similar production quality (but a bit smaller) or further away

One might almost think that someone had 3D scanned the HO model .........?

I suspect they would have just sent an HO mode to the factory and said 'we want one like that but 1:120' (as at least one UK manufacturer is rumored to have done with a Lima loco - errors and all). Its a slight shame as the Lilliput model is something like 40 years old, and reflects standards of the time, although it still appears in the Bachman lineup from time to time.

I have seen these on YouTube powered with lights 

do you have any ideas how it’s done

Usually the Fischer machine is powered by a chassis from the Hornby-Arnold ASF - see photo of the ASF, and see then the article in German on the conversion which I have scanned for exact details for you. Not necessarily a task for the faint-hearted! My colleague Simon has made his Fischer Gleisstopfmaschine into a moving model with a powered tool-van, using a Tillig freight van body on a railbus chassis. Metal wheels and pick-ups on the machine allow for LED lighting.
