February 27, 20178 yr Considering these are your first Train Mocs (you're just getting into this right?) they look really great! My first moc looked like a hamburger... Edited February 27, 20178 yr by BurkusCircus
February 28, 20178 yr Author @BurkusCircus Yes, they are my very first MOCs. Thanks 14 hours ago, BurkusCircus said: My first moc looked like a hamburger...! You made my day

Look at the caption: http://www.bahnbilder.de/bild/oesterreich~e-loks~br-1163/423126/oebb-1163-007-6-mit-einem-containerzug.html It looks really good! You're quickly improving your train-building skills. I don't understand what you mean when you say it has a 9v battery, but doesn't have room for PF. Anyways, I'd really like to try to fit PF into this train, so if there's a way that you could share the LXF with me I'd really appreciate it. I think your pantograph is a bit messy and could be improved. Here's my design for a similar pantograph http://bricksafe.com/pages/Beck/train_mocs/railpool-traxx-ac3-lm/wip On 26/02/2017 at 11:58 AM, KikoTube said: I built a ÖBB 1163. Which pulls freight, but also can be used for passengertransports. Here's the result: This locomotive is predominately used as a shunter and sometimes is used for short distance freight traffic. You're probably mistaking the photos on the internet of this loco shunting passenger cars, as a regional passenger train. Edited March 2, 20178 yr by Beck

I need to buy some black colour P.S: I send you the LXF
March 4, 20178 yr I was able to fit 2 PF L motors into the train with a battery box and receiver into the train. I tried to not stray too far away from Kiko's design, while adding minor details and cosmetic changes. I purposely didn't attach one bar on the top of the cabin so that the 4x6 plate can be removed for battery access. Kikotube, I noticed that you built your model in LDD extended, which allows you to change the color any part in the inventory, even if the part is not available in that color. Your "white" was not actually white (not sure if this was intentional), rather it was "Light stone grey," a color exclusively used in the old NXT kits. This is not a problem if you are not planning on building this model IRL. Your non-powered bogie used technic axles, which create a substantial amount of friction. I hope you like it and it is useful to you in some way.

March 4, 20178 yr Author Hello Beck, Thanks for all the improvements. Its perfect.... The only thing i will change, is the color of the darkgray window into black. But thats all. Thank you very much
April 13, 20177 yr Author Hello Guys... After a visit in the "Hungarian Railway Museum" i was inspired to build a new wagon. The WR4252:

This may be true, but I use them exclusively on my rolling stock and have never had an issue. I've even ran them on very uneven tables at high speed without issue.

I pretty much exclusively use them for all my 7 wide rolling stock and have never had a problem over many years running at train and LEGO exhibitions.
