andrepinto Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 This is a memory of my childhood. Built between 1966 and 1968, these emblematic "Machines" made in England with 65 tonnes, provided services in practically all the lines of Portugal. Although limited at 105 km / hour, traction either trains of suburban service, goods, medium and long-term and the prestigious Intercities service. Of the 67 original locomotives that made up the totality of this series (the engine material of its generation), the first 10 were manufacturedin England. The others, as included in the initial contract, were made in SOREFAME, in Amadora - Portugal. It was a great challenge to make this construction of 14 thousand pieces (7 thousand in the locomotive and 7 thousand in the base) at 1/15 scale. One of the main ideas was to make the wheels only with lego parts, without using 3D impression or lego motorcycle wheels, the result is a wheel made with 19 pieces.

Edwin Korstanje Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Wow André, Absolute stunning, the size, level of detail and colours are spot on. You can put it next to BricksonWheels his trains. Quote
Johnny1360 Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 Sorry to sound repetitive but yes, WOW what else to say for first response. Incredibly well done, just looks perfect in every detail. Especially like that you stuck to 100% LEGO solutions with regards to the wheels in particular. The track base turned out really good as well, I can tell a lot of time and effort went into this moc and the pay-off is simply amazing. She does have a rather sad look about her though, not sure if that was intentional or not, still great job as usual. Quote
Sven J Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) And for the third time: WOW! I'm completely blown away, don't find adequate words to express my admiration. Incredible, simply incredible. Remark: I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty to start a thread in the Train Tech forum just to link here. Edited June 9, 2018 by Tenderlok Quote
zephyr1934 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 What a (giant) beauty. An amazing piece of work (and thanks Tenderlok for the cross posting or I never would have seen this) Quote
baard Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 That is just a fantastic MOC. The size is astonishing, very nice detailing. Can it run? Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Incredible build! This does not even look like LEGO. Love the colors and the detailing is superb. Must visit you on FlickR. Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Perhaps we could see it alongside a normal sized LEGO train to get an idea of the overall size difference. Also could we have a close up of those wheels, out of the train, so we can see as it is a little hard to make them out. But yes, it is a fantastic build and as others have said hard to tell it is made from LEGO at all. Quote
WvG_853 Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Wow! You really outdid yourself! When I first saw the pictures I thought it was a new creation of @Bricksonwheels ...I would also be interested in the details requested by @Hrw-Amen in his post. My compliments! Quote
rahziel Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Simply amazing creation, I love this kind of locomotive and your MOC is brilliant with the details! Throw in a couple more photos, would be good to the eyes. "Coisa mais linda as laranjinhas da CP" ;) Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Absolutely incredible ...this work astonish me: it's huge, it's amazing, it's perfect! Great details and beautiful colors! Quote
Hobbythom Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Insanely cool. Such a great build. The custom wheels are a great token of your skill. Awesome job Quote
Holodoc Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Very nice build, indeed! The first question that came to my mind looking at your photos was: What color is it? Maybe a stupid one, but I can't determine if it's orange [bright orange], dark orange [dark orange] or earth orange [light orange brown]? Looking at the amount of different bricks you used it has to be orange [bright orange], but can you clarify? At the front of the engine you used decals or printed elements for the white stripes, right? I would love to see a photo of the front. And I absolutely second the wish for a comparison to a regular train. Is your build 20-wide? Quote
monai Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 Absolutely one of the best static LEGO models. Since the scale is about that of the LegoLand trains you should ask for expose it there (and got those special made wheels and motors ..:-)) many compliments Sergio Quote
andrepinto Posted June 11, 2018 Author Posted June 11, 2018 thx, is great to see you like i have lot a work to do, but when i have time i will post the wheels the color is ID 4 - Orange 4 Orange the front is painted, i try lots of possibilities and this is the best result. this build is 22 wide thx Quote
LM71Blackbird Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 This is absolutely stunning! Great design work and detailing throughout the model. How long did this take you to complete? Quote
WTFett Posted June 11, 2018 Posted June 11, 2018 This is stunning, it doesn't even look like lego! Quote
Roadmonkeytj Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Very well done I think the paint makes the train feel real. Quote
22kane Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 Wow... Beautiful, amazing, stunning... just awesome. I'm a huge fan of the early American diesels This reminds me of the American RS-1 to RS-3 models. The level of detail on this is incredible. Well done. Quote
Hook Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Brutal André!! Grande atenção aos pormenores, está divinal! A malta da CP ia ficar impressionada… Eh Eh Que bom ver mais um conterrâneo aqui por estas bandas… (Sorry for writing in portuguese, I couldn't resist…) Edited June 16, 2018 by Hook Quote
Bricked1980 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Absolutely jaw dropping. A real work of art. It's so detailed and realistic that it's only when you zoom in and see some studs that you realise it's built from Lego. Amazing!!! Quote
CarrollFilms Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 That is an absolutely beautiful train! What piece are you using for the rail wheels? Quote
