bjorkan Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) HZ 2041 (in fact HŽ 2041, as "Hrvatske željeznice", Croatian Railroads) or Djuran (Đuran) Train Engine as a nick name is diesel-electric engine dating from early 1960 from Croatian Đuro Đaković Factory and Franch Brissonneau et Lotz (registered in former YU as JŽ 642). According to data from www.zeljeznice.net, today there are 28 working engines in Croatia in two colors: red and blue. This is a model of red Djuran: ( http://www.bricksafe...an/DSC06438.JPG in high resolution) ...and this is a photo of the working (real) one captured in summer 2014 by Laurus (http://www.zeljeznice.net/forum/index.php?/topic/11180-hz-2041-jz-642-dhuran/page-13; photo published with permission of the author): Model is fully working powered by standard Lego 88002 motor and PF with working lights in the front and in the back of the engine. Djuran is mostly used as cargo train engine and for that reason (and for more fun for grandchildren, as well) this model is accompanied with five boxcars in the same color scheme. Hope you like it. Comments and suggestions appreciated Some more photos with one not very perfect video follow.

Rail Co Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Great model! Really like the brick built letter details and the almost studless loco design. What I am curious to see is where you put all the PF components as I see the receiver but nothing else... Also great use of the vintage style windows for the cab! Great Job!!! -RailCo Edited May 3, 2015 by Rail Co Quote

Great Job!!! -RailCo Thanks battery box is in vertical position in the cabin (1; see through the front window) and can be turned on/off by red technic axle (2) positioned beyond the chimney, and IR receiver is part of the engine body (3), as you noticed. The real trick was set up of battery box as it lays almost on train motor. But there was no other place for it. (http://www.bricksafe.com/files/bjorkan/djuran/DSC06441%20parts.jpg) Quote
Robin Creations Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Nice work! Simple, but it really works effectively Quote
cgarison Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Very nice, clean build. I like the use of the old style windows for the cab. Quote
Man with a hat Posted May 4, 2015 Posted May 4, 2015 Good job, and nice detailing of the under side. Quote
harnbak Posted May 5, 2015 Posted May 5, 2015 Love the modern look you achieved using plain bricks. Good work! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 That is fantastic work the way you found so many stock lego pieces to hit all of the finer details of this locomotive... and then the way you tackled the PF on a diesel with a 4 wide hood, impressive. Quote
