Hello! It's been awhile since I posted anything in this forum, but I wanted to show some of the progress I've made on a layout I've been working on by showing off the engine I'm going to use on it, namely an S1 Switcher. The engine itself still needs a bit of work on it, namely the height, but it does look nice working the harbour I've built. Building the nose of the engine proved somewhat troublesome, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. The back needs a bit of work done to it, but I'm relatively happy with the cab. The image above shows how the cab roof comes off in order to place figures inside. I've also built a transfer caboose to go alongside this engine that I hope to have posted soon. Feedback would be appreciated!

This is my favourite diesel shunter, and I've built it several times.... I present now my latest attempt and it is 8wide in base with a body in various widths from 5-7studs and with lots of 1/2 plate offset to replicate the interesting shape of the original engine. As always it is nice to hear what you trainheads think about it.

Hello everybody, here are my latest creations, two (almost similar) Swedish T44 Diesel locomotives. Base measures 8wide x L32studs, and body contains: -A medium PF motor in the rear compartment, that powers a decoupling system in rear boggie. -IR receiver in drivers cab. -Std PF battery box in the front compartment. -A std PF train motor takes care of propulsion. One channel on PF controller is used for decoupling, and the other channel is used for running the PF train motor. Coulor scheme is the former standard of SJ (Swedish state railways) as: Orange / White stripe / DkBlue top. T44 is (still) the most common freight diesel locomotive in Sweden and was originally built in 123 units. I made two units with same mechanics but slightly different detailing. I made several different designs for remote decoupling, but this one is more or less borrowed from Baard, which in turn was inspired by my previous attempts. The mini LA (linear actuator) moves the magnet in and out, thus separating the loco magnet from wagon magnet for a remote controlled shunting. Any comments are welcome as usual.

It has been a bit quiet from my side the last weeks, so here is the latest version of this engine: It now features 2 medium power function motors. A version 3 has been build, with improved drive train [/url] USRA 0-8-0 version 3 [Main] by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr USRA 0-8-0 version 3 by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr And this is what happens when you aren't careful when handling an engine like this. oh crap by UrbanErwin(EPJL), on Flickr The complete timeline of this engine; [link to album]

Hello folks, as mentioned in my previous introduction (the Monorail Station with "Little Pig Snout"), here is my interpretation of a VT11.5 Trans-Europ-Express (TEE) train as monorail. Due to the narrow gauge of the monorail the train is quite a bit smaller than minifig scale - still, I have put a driver into it Enjoy the photos and Youtube movies. If you have any questions, happy to answer In comparison to a "slightly" larger scale model: And in action:
