Atlas 1302 DKZW Two-Way Excavator (387.636)

A Ready-Made 1:87 / HO scale Artitec Atlas 1302 DKZW two-way excavator finished in weathered yellow. This detailed road-rail machine combines a wheeled excavator chassis with retractable rail-guidance wheels, allowing it to represent both conventional construction work and railroad maintenance operations. Its articulated hydraulic boom, digging bucket, enclosed operator’s cab, and rotating upper structure make it well suited to track-maintenance sites, construction areas, industrial facilities, and railroad yards.

The yellow finish has a realistic field-used appearance, with dust, grime, chipped paint, hydraulic staining, and gray wear visible across the boom, body, chassis, and digging bucket. The model includes a white cab roof, glazed cab with interior controls and seating, prominent hydraulic cylinders and hoses, four rubber tires, front and rear rail-guidance assemblies, work lights, mirrors, access steps, warning decals, Atlas markings, and a heavily weathered bucket with individually defined teeth. Artitec identifies item 387.636 as a Ready-Made H0 / 1:87 model handcrafted from resin and etched-metal components and individually hand-painted.

Artitec's Ready-Made models are handcrafted from high-quality resin and produced in limited runs. Each model is expertly preassembled, hand-painted, and often subtly weathered to recreate the appearance of a real vehicle in use. Because every model is finished by hand, small variations may occur, making each piece unique.

Artitec uses vacuum-cast resin to reproduce exceptionally fine, true-to-scale details that can be difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods. Etched-brass parts are added where appropriate to capture delicate components and further enhance realism.

Each model is assembled, painted, and weathered by skilled specialists—a process requiring considerable time, precision, and experience. Artitec Ready-Made models are ideal for collectors seeking exceptional detail and realism without the time and effort required to build and finish a model kit.
