Type 436V (FALNS series) is a series of Polish wagons, the so-called coal wagons, produced from 1997 to 2000 by the Zastal plant in Zielona Góra. A total of 660 cars of this type were built in these plants. In 1998, at the ZNTK plant in Ostrów Wielkopolski, documentation of a very similar wagon (designation: 440V) was developed and - interestingly - from 2000, on the basis of this documentation, the Zastal plants produced these wagons, but with changes introduced in the plants in Zielona Góra . Type 436V is a self-unloading wagon, in which the unloading can be controlled manually or pneumatically. The very simple operation, however, is determined by the complicated mechanism of actuators, slats and gears with chain gears, which are virtually invisible from the outside. Interestingly, in manual mode, both coal chambers can be unloaded separately. At present, they are the most modern wagons of this type in the PKP rolling stock.
The models are digitally printed - some adhesives can dissolve the ink!
Paint in digital printing can be dissolved by certain types of adhesives like butaprene and similar on the same solvents. Before bonding, it is advisable to try the adhesive used on a barely visible part of the model.
