Posted December 2, 20168 yr 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. Edited December 2, 20168 yr by Selander Add photo
December 2, 20168 yr 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.
December 2, 20168 yr +1, great work to get all those details in! Any pics of the back? Edited December 2, 20168 yr by pirzyk
December 2, 20168 yr That looks really nice! I wonder how that would look in DB livery (red). Good work!
December 3, 20168 yr 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? Edited December 3, 20168 yr by Selander

December 3, 20168 yr Author 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.....
December 3, 20168 yr 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.
