The
Vögele
Super 2100-2 Tracked Paver has a maximum paving width of
13m and can lay up to 1100 tonnes of material per hour.
This version of the model is in the colours of
Eurovia which
is part of the
VINCI Group.
Packaging
The model comes in a large Eurovia-branded box and inside it is enclosed
between polystyrene trays with the paver unusually
secured to the base tray with a tie. The
review model had no defects or missing parts.
The model is complete with no assembly required, and
there is no information describing its features.
Included is an interesting reprint of a brochure about the real
machine.
Detail
The rubber tracks have a segmented pattern and are
mounted on simple track frames. It is interesting
to note that the model is numbered 670 and 671 on the
underside.
At the front the hopper belt is
a metal casting and the hopper sides are also metal.
There are some non-functioning rollers for engaging the
wheels of a discharging tipper.
The body is a smart looking part with deep grilles and
smart graphics. The operator's station has a textured
floor, a finely detailed console and the two seats are
good. The canopy above is metal whereas the real machine has a glass fibre type
material. The hand rails are metal and
realistically sized.
The screed has textured surfaces and high quality
handrails. It is very long with plastic suspension
bars, and there is a metal material screw of matching
length.
Each end of the screed has a control console and
these are very finely detailed indeed.
Features
The tracks roll reasonably well for rubber as long as
the model moves in a straight line.
The hopper sides can close in to force material onto the
belt.
Both operator's seats can be rotated out to provide a
better view forwards, and the roof canopy above can be
extended to provide shelter. The console can move
on a rail from side to side.
The canopy roof can be lowered to provide a reduced
headroom for travelling on a transport vehicle.
However the long screed is fixed so it does not make a
viable transport load.
The screed can be raised and lowered, and can be
extended a little on both ends for width.
Quality
This is a high quality model by NZG which is almost
all metal and surprisingly heavy. It has good paint and graphics.
Price
The price reflects the very limited edition produced.
Overall
This is another high quality paver model by NZG and it
poses very well with other models in Eurovia livery. It
is highly recommended.
Footnotes
The model first appeared in 2007. This
version appeared in September 2012 in a run of 100
models.
