Steam locomotive class 1-3-0 Gr. 623
Steam locomotive with tender, the GR 623
of FS, used on freight trains and passenger service.
The locomotives of GR 625 F.S. were amongst the most successful, so successful
that that their use was widespread over time. In around 1950 its use was seen
still to be long term it was decided to render a number of them more
economically viable by installing on a number of them the Franco Crosti pre
heaters. This application is made so that 25 has Walschaert distribution and 10
with Caprotti distribution, thus forming a new group designated as FS GR 623.
The model reproduces the prototype 623-114 with Walschaert distribution.
The gearing is fully
functioning and has operating front head lanterns.
Length of the model cm. 21
Produced by Rivarossi in 1977, 1990 and 1997
