MOC: Small industrial locomotive

[Selander]

This is a typical small 2axle industrial locomotive  which can (could ) be seen shunting waggons in bigger industrial areas in Sweden. It's 7wide, 18studs long and has a 9v train motor.

Nice little engine, compact but has some details once you look closely. I always liked engines like this as a kid, stout little things that could move a lot.

+1, great work to get all those details in!

Any pics of the back?

That looks really nice! I wonder how that would look in DB livery (red). Good work!

Looking good Selander! ?????

A neat little locomotive. Beautiful!

How did you build the slightly recessed cab doors? The offset seems to be less than half a plate?

Thanks. Yes offset is just 0,8mm or 1/4 plate thickness.

It is built by first putting a technic brick 2,5 studs (20mm) inside door opening. A tile 2*2 is placed at bottom. The door itself is built on a plate 2*2 with "door bricks" out, and eg brick 87087 inside. A plate is attached between 87087 and technical brick. -> 16+3,2mm = 19,2mm.

Consequently a 0,8mm offset is achieved. Hope you follow me?

Yes, I think I've got it:

Thanks for your explanation! I might want to use this solution some day.

[Selander]

Yes this is correct, but better using 2*87087 and technical brick 1*2 w 2holes. It gives a more stable design.

Or like you show but one more 87087 plus technical brick 1*1.

OK?

Also I need to mention this is not my original design. But I cannot remember exactly the origin.....

Fantastic little engine. The closer you look the more details are revealed, love the small-offset door, door handle and compact nature of the whole locomotive.
