Hi everyone, this is my first post here (besides comments made).
I have been working for a few months on a LEGO train model with the help of Lego Digital Designer and other third party softwares to build this.
This is the famous Class J 611, currently under restoration and scheduled to be back in service starting May 30, 2015.
To celebrate I have been working on the LEGO version of the 611 for a few months and I think its a thing of beauty and I am very pleased with the results.
Note: The wheels are not correct because i haven't quite figured out how to manually add BBB XL wheels to my LDD file to make the renders with them on it.
I started out using LEGO's train drivers but found they were too small for what the 4-8-4 should have. Class J runs on 70" drivers in real life so they had to be big!
I am not quite finished with the running gear yet but I am hoping to start build this soon and would like everyone's opinion on the design and what I should change or suggestions to improve.
I also made some other train models (see attached below)
