DkGreen Shunter 7w.

Design has borrowed some genes from a BR Class 04 locomotive, but mostly what I found pleasing for the eye.

It has a DkRed chassis with 3axles where the mid axle is floating to ensure a frictionless ride. Base 7w / Cab 6 2/3w / Hood 5wide, and L=18studs. So overall dimensions are similar to a 4563 loco.

It is not powered and for the moment I think I leave it like that. Motorisation may be put in a following wagon (?).

It looks really nice! How did you make the front grille? Im pretty sure the bottem plates are smaller than the top ones.

I put three yellow sticker stripes in front of the loco. One is in the bottom of the grille and the other two on each 87087 black brick. Other "stripes" are made from yellow plates.

That's a neat looking shunter, good work!

Can we see the under carriage perhaps?

When I see new topic from you, it has to be another masterpiece. And so it is with this one.

I love the perfect shape and amazing livery (in dark green)

The middle swinging axle is amazing and the details of this bogie are amazing too!

Thanks for all kind words.

Lovely little engine you've got there.

It looks excellent. Have you built a motor inside?

Thanks, loco is not powered but it does have a brickbuilt "engine" which is visible through the doors. But I forgot to take a shot of that.....

That was the sense of my question - about the brickbuilt engine :) It would be great if you could post an image with it.

Nice little shunter. Looks good. Clever how the front goes from 6 to 7 wide. fits perfectly with the steps.
