some progress

This is great. Is there a way to automate?

I love the details inside the genset container

Very impressive indeed !!! Does it run well around curves ?

This is a really fun build !

Hi sn1975, i am in the middle of a tall building at the moment si I grouped each story and use the hide function on the group when I need to get to the insides.

Great work on the window curving! looks impressive and it is a very interesting train.

Look like great work. What did you use ?

BRILLIANT, love the crocks underneath!

GREAT!

Great colour matching. Looks like a fun build.

Thank you, this helps me as I am just finishing a steamer and wanted to make sure i wasn't going to use bad spacing. thanks for your help.

is there any friction cause by the flanges?

Hey Stengel, how does the flanged wheel spacing on your GREAT BR64 like standard lego curves and switches?

This is the best to glue / stick the parts together, be careful though, it can be very destructive if over used. http://www.njsupply.com/Methyl-Ethyl-Ketone-Quart_p_100211.html also the track storage pins that come with new PF track work good as under rail braces. Just cut the head off.

Hopefully this will give you some inspiration, I used this in an 8 wide model, the motors are low power but put two in and they work very well, the next problem is speed, you will need to gear up a non train motor, use sariels calculator to find the gears that work for you, http://gears.sariel.pl/ I used a gear combination that closely matches the torque and RPMs of a train motor,

Hey "raised", i wanted to try an capture the paneled roof on the 73, the photo that I posted below shows those panels better than the original. I am please to say that I am starting the brick build tonight.

I like the way you have detailed the stripes. 7 wide is tricky to get proportions right. What is the width and height of the train in real life?

Thats an amazing project!

Great build, I like that you have put stuff in them!

Hopefully another steam loco, maybe the Mallard

Hi Hrw-Amen, I would love to see your version, I really like to see others modeling of the same train, I learn alot of tricks and tips of building that way.

Hey there. you could try to message the person that posted the video on youtube, I am sure they could help you out. Good luck.

What a fun build. The pantographs are nicely detailed!

I got the update, it works good here I wish I knew what was new.
