The Micro Metakit H17.206, is an exquisite handmade brass locomotive. Boasting a complete cab interior, a functional boiler hatch with intricate boiler details, and equipped with Micro Metakit's top-tier brushless, ironless bell-shaped motor, this locomotive stands out with its superior running capabilities, exceptional detailing, and impressive pulling power.  Micro Metakit models are simply the best brass models ever produced. Prototype Information: Originally derived from the S 10.2, No. 1201, the H17 underwent a significant transformation. Manufactured by Hanomag with the factory number 7434 in 1917, it was renumbered to 20445 in 1925. The year 1926 marked another change when it became the 17.206, integrating the high-pressure boiler of "Schmidt-Hartmann" and converting the power train to adhesion. The lighting system was upgraded to "Pinsch"-Gaslamps, and smoke deflectors were omitted. Its livery transitioned to the distinctive "photo-grey" scheme, painted in light grey-dark grey
