[MOC] Railcar SBB De 4/4 - News of Bricks-on-Rails

[Bricks-on-Rails]

Hey Community,

Finally, after a long time beeing absent, we´re back. And we´re here to re-introduce ourselves and to present something new.

Some of you may know us from the time before we disappeared. By the way, we were not away we were just calm. Now, since beginning 2019 we´re back and we´re happy to be back again.

Enough to us...

... here is the model.

 

The model, that we like to present isn´t actually a new one. It is more like remake of a previous version (history).

It´s a railcar, the "De 4/4 or Fe 4/4" of the SBB (Swiss railroad company). The example was used in the late 1920s in swiss. Overall there were 25 units built in different versions.

The model is approx 40cm long, 7.8cm wide and about 12cm high. It is possible to motorise it with up to two Power Functions XL-motors. That will power up all four axles at the two boogies. The IR-Transmitter and the battery-pack will take "a seat" in the cabin. One of the two cabins is equipped with a small interior. The doors protrude a little to convey an impression of functionality, but the doors and the roof could not be opened due to the interlaced-design. The roof, with the extentable pantographs, the boogies and the substructure is highly detailed.

During my investigation i found three major designs, that´s why it is possible to build the model in these three designs.

- dark-green

- brown

- light-blue

Now it´s enough with texting. Here are some 3D-Renderings. More pictures can be found in the flickr-folder.

Thank you for your praise. I will add a "German E 94" and a "Swiss Crocodile" soon. They´re the same size and have the same amount of details. But i´m thinking of creating some more international models.

See you soon.
