Hello,

I would like to show you my last digital project:

The EL 4 was built in 1903 for the "Trossinger Eisenbahn" one of the first ever electric Railroad Companies in Germany. It was founded by the citizens of Trossingen especially by businessmen who needed a connection to the state railway that was about 8 kilometers away instead of bringing their goods there with coaches.

Trossingen is best known in Germany (and abroad) being the city of harmonicas (Hohner).

The Original is still running, it might be one of the oldest working electric Locomotives of the world. If you like to know more: https://www.trossinger-eisenbahn.de/english-summary/

I hope you like it.

Best regards,

Volker

That's a great rendition and easily recognizable. The pantograph seems huge, but that is prototypical.

 

 

Thanks a lot, zephyr.

Yes, the pantograph seems to be oddly big, but it is indeed.

Hi Volker, nice engine, love to wee this in real. With this (Circuit Cubes)

maybe it's possible to motorize it!

The pantographs are huge, but not out of scale for the real thing. Great job.

What a cutie! It is a very original small locomotive - a perfect tribute to the original one!

Great job

Ciao!
