Posted January 7, 20169 yr Presenting another Danish locomotive...DSB Litra MZ (I) History: The Danish State Railways (DSB) powerful Litra MZ (I) locomotives were built by Swedish Nydquist & Holm AB (Nohab) and Danish subcontractors on license from General Motors from the year 1967 to 1969. 10 (I)s were built followed by version (II) - (IV) later on. My model: Scale: 1:60 Lenght: 40 studs Width: 6 studs Bricks: 631 Motortype: PF or 9v Model built: 2015 (actually my 4th version) They were all painted DSB maroon typical of that time with the highly recognizable DSB wing logo on the fronts. Reddish-Brown has been selected as I think it is the most accurate LEGO colour available - at least when the locomotive is dirty or the photos have faded The stickers are homemade, no surprise there The top can easily be lifted off providing access to the battery box and all others parts inside the locomotive. The IR receiver is almost flush with the top making the signals from the IR remote easier to catch. DSB livery from the 70s and 80s with Litra MZ (I) in front of the later version (III).

January 21, 20169 yr I love it. You really nailed it - and in both colour schemes too. Details, proportions, stickers are great. Fun fact, here is another livery... a batch of MZs made it to Australia where they haul cargo for Independent Rail in and around Sydney. They have even kept their numbers.
