Hello Train AFOLS
I am working on a new Lego Steam Locomotive in LDD.
The Lego Steam Locomotive is based on the sole survivor of the SECR Class O1 Steam Locomotive - the SECR Class O1 No. 65 Steam Locomotive which is preserved at the Bluebell.
My version will be a another SECR Class O1 Steam Locomotive - the SECR Class O1 No. 372 Steam Locomotive which used to run on the East Kent Light Railway between 1923 and 1949 which in 1949 was scrapped
The Lego SECR Class No. 372 Steam Locomotive is still a work in progress, I hope to build it physically next spring once I have worked out how to motorize the tender.
A couple of updates to the design.
The first is I have done some more work on the Locomotive. the dome and chimney are now taller then the roof of the cab.
The second update is I have worked how to motorize the tender, I have decided to use two Lego Power Function L Motor in the tender, each L Motor will drive a single axle.
I now have to build the rest of the tender chassis and the build the tender body and add the skirting around the wheels.
A small update to the tender, the leaf springs have been added to the tender.
