mrblue Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) hello again! this time I present you my (only LDD at the moment) small shunter that can be used with PF system. inside the small sized loco (6x16) I managed to fit battery box, IR receiver and (if I'm not wrong) it can also be PF lighted. thank you for watching and for your comments.

roamingstop Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) That is a very nice black shunter from Mr Blue... and to get everything inside is great, especially given the size of all the boxes. Im intrigued to see how it was done. Checking through the model - there might be a slight technical hitch - sorry. The cable from the IR receiver can be folded to fit a 1 brick wide gap, but it puts a lot of strain onto it, and the space might be better as 2 wide. Ive tried replacing it with my construct of the PF box, which includes the correct placing for the switches and cables. I show in this LXF. I might be able to make the battery box fit, but dont want to destroy your beautiful lines. And here we go. My changes are in red; and it should be possible to make the top of the shunter easy to remove for recharging and switching on and off the batteries. Edited April 13, 2011 by roamingstudio Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I like this diesel shunter! The six-dots wide size is my best choice! I love that red ladders Quote
