DB 01 & F-ZUG LEGO SIMON JAKOBI 01 02 by Simon Jakobi, auf Flickr

This year I was lucky to finish a long term project... My 01 did receive a major overhaul and some matching rolling stock. Together they form a full consist of a german F-Zug. The new version of my blue lady was inspired by my concept for a 03 on LEGO IDEAS. The tender is all new. I did change the roof and cabine of the engine. The cylinders and several details of the boiler were improved too. But what is most important: She proofed herself as quite a reliable and strong runner on the first exihibtions. Please note: the wagons are slightly shortend by two or three windows and feature standard couplings to keep them compatibel with the engines of other designers and the small radii (R72 and R88) of our LUG-Layout. Up to now I build three wagons including a dinning car. All of the wagons feature full interior and internal illumination.

Really nice. The nine wide allows to add so many great details! I like the stickers too, they really add to the realism. 

 

Wonderful train!
The locomotive with the large wheels and dark blue livery is a gem!
The carriages are perfect and full of details...I like the shot on the carriage with the bajours visible from the windows.

Very nice proportions. I sure wish Lego would give us the equivalent of 80-ish inch wheels and driving rods in real bricks. 

Pure blue gold.

Crazy. And incredibly, nicely done. For me: Un-be-lievable what you have created. Congratulations!

Who? LEGO? Or TLG? No. They don't. They look at profit only. But there is nothing wrong to wish for that to happen. And: There is more than TLG on his planet. 

All the best,

That locomotive is simply striking in blue

Superb work on this wonderful locomotive and consist. All the details really make these three stand out. Kudos.

I agree with the above posts.

Wonderful locomotive and coaches  Amazing how many details you packed into these!

Wow, what a lovely consist. The mix of colours looks great!

Thank you all! I do not have lots of time for our great hobby at the moment. The more happy I`am that you like my little consist. Maybe next year I will add a baggage wagon. Dark green would be nice. At the moment the plattforms of our Layout are too short. Greetings, Simon!

Looks great!

What part did you use as the connecting rod between the driving wheels?

@FGMatt I think thats a custom piece

The rods are custom parts from bricks-on-rails.de.

 

Amazing 

Thought it was a model-train at first, great stuff

Very nice build! The proportions look great. I recently built a B01 but used only genuine Lego train wheels. Which I have now concluded are just to small. What size are the ones you used? XL or XXL?

My 01 has XXL wheels. L is way too small. I gave L wheels a chance on my 03 on LEGO IDEAS: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/5c87154b-3396-4343-ac5e-42a5f10bd988 As I mentioned above the design of the egines is pretty close. When you compare my 01 to my 03 the improvement by using XXL-wheels is obvious.

Thanks. I'm rather pleased with my design as it stands right now but the proportions has bugged me since it was completed.
