BR 78-281
4-6-4 Steam Locomotive
Hello Everyone,
this Easter I present my last creation …a new medium size BR steam locomotive: the BR 78-281
Tricked by the apparent simplicity of the project I had to work hard to create a LEGO model similar to the real one, in particular the construction of the front window and the roof of the locomotive made me slow down a little bit
This time I have used a SNOT technique to recreate the rounded profile of the back of the locomotive, and the main windows of the cab
The locomotive is driven by one medium motor hidden in the boiler …to maximize the pulling power I have coupled the new BR with my fake caboose (a locomotive with two RC motors) obtaining also an interesting slipping effect!
The BR 78 has lights with the usual switch hidden in the coal section
Enjoy the video and the photo gallery!
That's all!
