WIP: Guess, what this could be...

[mick1960]

I found the original on an excursion to the Pfaueninsel in Berlin and I like it so much, that I have to build it for Trainz:



Somebody can guess, what it is?

In its basic function close, but still something complete different

I don't know how you make espresso, but one made with this machine, I definitely would never, ever drink

It's for people who have nothing to do with farming quite hard to guess. Another hint, this machine is from around 1930s and was made by DIA xxxxxxfabrik Hammelrath & Schwenzer GmbH & Co. KG

Another hint.

If you have to use it, you are better used to use it, or have a bad flu

A Air Purifier? A Dehumidifier?

Today I received the okay from the company which is the successor of the former producer to use their logo on the model, the work can go on...

Sewage connection for trains that dont have sewage tanks for when stopped at a depot?

 

[AMTRAKwannabe]

Is it an acid pump?

 

[mick1960]

Almost there!
Think more into the direction of farming, it has nothing to do with railway.


Mick!

A fertilizer spreader?

Incredible model!

 

[mick1960]

Also not exactly, but to come to an end, it is a liquid manure membrane pump, in German "Jauchepumpe" to empty a cesspit. Not exactly a delightful job, but anyway better than using buckets

This model is a DIA-D1210 from around 1930 and according to the still existing company, not build anymore since 40 years. Unfortunately they don't have any documents anymore, so I have to continue building from the set of photos we made.

I think it might be a nice accessory for farming sceneries...


Mick!
