SavaTheAggie Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Texas State Railroad Pacific (4-6-2) Locomotive #500 version 2.9 Texas State Railroad #500 v2.9 by SavaTheAggie, on Flickr Again, I hope you all will forgive posting a MOC already posted once before, but again I've done quite a bit of work since last I showed her off. She's wearing new piping, "valve gear", plus a lot of things that can't be seen. For example, I replaced the 1x1 technic bricks holding the rear truck's facade in place with some of LEGO's new 1x2+1x2 brackets (keeps them from falling off). I've also gone through her chassis and removed and/or anchored all bricks that could shift and cause any friction on her axles. Texas State Railroad #500 v2.9 by SavaTheAggie, on Flickr She is my favorite locomotive, and a good performer. Her two PF train motors can pull quite a bit, and now that I've improved her performance she hasn't derailed in 6 months (knock on wood) and barely slows down at all in curves.

Gioppa Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 And this.... Amazing! Every time i loose a lot of time for check all the detail of your wonderful Moc Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Now this is one of the most wonderful MOC steam engines I've seen in a long time.......excellent work 'Sava' and Brick On ! Quote
MikroMan Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 While I normally don't check train MOCs, this one is amazing. Great job capturing the shape. Quote
GRogall Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Another really nice model that you have made there, the colours and details are superb! Quote
BEAVeR Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Wow, you have come a long way! I like how the tubing is attached in a smart way, and all levers capture the mechanics of the train brilliantly (that control stick was a good idea there). It never occured to me that those palm trunk pieces could make a great chimney. Excellent work: nice shape and incredible details! Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Looks a lot better now than it did before, which when you consider before it looked wonderful makes it hard to describe now. Quote
octavspot Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Absolutely beautiful. I love how you used the rubber tubes for the piping, especially right at the front. Engine dimensions and details are right on the money. Quote
