MOC: DkGreen 8w locomotive

[Selander]

Hi everyone,

This is a MOC I recently built which is inspired by a mix of Swedish electric locomotives but with typical German or Swiss color scheme. It is not motorized on pictures.

Some new elements from Mini Cooper have been used in front&rear end which allows a smooth transission from 8w to 7w in the top front section.

Feel free to comment.

Cool. Looks like you have Swiss RE 4/4 in there.

I like the work on the roof with the power lines and panto-graphs.

This locomotive looks very nice with this paint scheme. With minor changes you would have a great model of a Re 4/4 I of the SBB.

Love it. Very good job.

There's only one thing I would try to change. According to Stefaneris' picture, it could use a little more detail on the sides.

Maybe with only the tile or one plate and a tile between the modified bricks. The bricks are a bit pricy, but I think it would be worth it.

[Selander]

Thanks for your comments, yes there are already some Re 4/4 similarities and the design could be updated to be a closer replica.

For the moment it is a mix of influences.

@3797: Also thanks for your side update proposal, which would need a bigger redesign since you don't respect the current height of my model. Would be easier to put in two layers of 2877 with studs up. In fact I tried that during my experimental phase, but choose to stay with the smooth sides. I'll reconsider it though.

Very nice loco! Always keen to see your work.

Selander, do you happen to have a part list for this wonderful creation?

Cheers

[Selander]

Hello *Thomas*,

Hmm part list...not really.... But I could mail you more pictures and provide some help/explanations to you. Send me a message via EB and we'll try to work something out.

Selander you always perform excellent MOC!

I like your building style: the nose of this locomotive looks amazing

The pantographs and the details under the body of the train are very well made ...top notch work!

[zephyr1934]

A fantastic build with your usual attention to detail. Of course everything is better in dark green (grin).

[marook]

Very nice!

Dimentions 28x8?

[UrbanErwin]

That is pretty engine, will you build the accompanying carriages?

[Selander]

Thanks everyone for your kind words !

Much appreciated !!

@marook: Yes it measures 6x28studs, so it is a relatively compact build.

@UrbanErwin: No carriages planned for the moment.....but let's wait and see....
