Posted August 13, 200816 yr Ever since a kid i wanted to build a fully working steam engine, and now...i did! It is based on a German Baureihe 22 locomotive, a few things have been made to my taste however. A frontal shot: One from the back: And the interior of the cabin: C&C are welcome! More in the BS folder. Enjoy!
August 13, 200816 yr The folder is not yet public, but so far i really like it! I too always wanted to build a detailed locomotive, but i don't have the right parts for it still today. Hopefully i can do something like that someday.
August 13, 200816 yr Phenomenal work Too bad my track was a piece of rusted, corroded %*@# broken when you stayed with us for a couple of days. I especially like the center section with all its details such as the pipelines, valves and what not. Nice use of the podracer cables by the way. The driver's cabin has a nice curve to it as well which only adds to the final result. The only minor nitpick you'll hear from me is the colour pattern. I like chcolate brown with a yellow stripe much more. But that's my personal opinion of course Ruben, Edited August 13, 200816 yr by Hairy Ruben
August 13, 200816 yr Just saw the other pictures now and i really love how you did the interior. I've seen many train mocs where there already was too much, but this is just right. What did you use exactly for the "fire"? And do you have a clearer picture or an explenation on how you made the ladder here http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/RickB/Ge...ureihe-22/j.jpg ?
August 13, 200816 yr Love it, love all the details, pipes, front, ladder, etc. In the end it turned out quite nice, especially the rod & piston!
August 13, 200816 yr Author Like that!Now in Red!!(Hogwarts Express ) Nice details!! Undersigned MoWo Thanks, but no Hogwarts in my house please The folder is not yet public, but so far i really like it! I too always wanted to build a detailed locomotive, but i don't have the right parts for it still today. Hopefully i can do something like that someday. Thanks, don't know how many pieces went in. I roughly estimate it at 1.000. Very nice. How long did it take to make? I think i spend about 30 hours on it.

The fire are the trans orange flame parts, 3 horizontally placed in a triangular shape. The ladder is made out of 2 pieces of rigid hose and black skellie arms. Love it, love all the details, pipes, front, ladder, etc. In the end it turned out quite nice, especially the rod & piston! Coming from a big tv star that means a lot, thanks!
August 13, 200816 yr This is a brilliant train MOC, Captain green hair! It's very authentic - very well done! Klaus-Dieter
August 13, 200816 yr That is one really nice MOC I love the excellent detail and I appreciate the time you spent, I really like the bumpers Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing.
August 13, 200816 yr Whoah! I wouldn't usually comment on train MOC's the same as I don't usually with ship MOC's - I like them but I'm not really sure what to say about them. But this, this is amazing! It looks just like an actual train, especially in the first picture! Great work! :skull:
August 13, 200816 yr Wow, amazing! I know how you feel, I wanted to make such an engine all my life too and I also succeeded recently... Does it go around the curved tracks as well? It looks like it because the tender seems to be made with a swivel undercarriage. Nothing beats the old German colorscheme if you'd ask me! Very inventive work on the large-antenna-with-red-minifigheads combination
August 14, 200816 yr That really looks very good . Have you also pic's when it takes a corner? Edited August 14, 200816 yr by Panda9001100
August 15, 200816 yr Author Thanks for the kind wors guys! Wow, amazing! I know how you feel, I wanted to make such an engine all my life too and I also succeeded recently... Does it go around the curved tracks as well? It looks like it because the tender seems to be made with a swivel undercarriage. Nothing beats the old German colorscheme if you'd ask me! Very inventive work on the large-antenna-with-red-minifigheads combination Thanks, the minifig heads is an idea from monteur's BS gallery, the antenna i can claim to be mine That really looks very good . Have you also pic's when it takes a corner? I've made a little video to show this, check the .avi file in the BS folder
August 16, 200816 yr I've made a little video to show this, check the .avi file in the BS folder Thx, it works in corners. Only the train moves too fast. I'm more interested how you made it realize to take the corners.
August 16, 200816 yr Man that's a masterpiece... good builds only come from good MOCer's... thank god this isn't a good build... but an AWESOME BUILD! Making you an AWESOME MOCER! Yeah, I got lost at "masterpiece".
August 17, 200816 yr Dear Captian green hair, that is a very beautyful steam engine, with some nice detailing. I realy enjoyed the video you made of the train riding the track. I really like these 8 stud wide engine designs. Hopefully lego will go to 8 studs as well. Kind regards, Teddy
August 17, 200816 yr I was wondering about the Big Ben Bricks wheels you used, what size are the ones for the middle section. Are they medium sized or large?
October 19, 200816 yr Author All aboard! Lemme take this chance to show you the decals i made for the engine: Some where wondering how i made her take turns, i hope this picture helps: It's also advisable to use the gears when you use BB wheels. These are the large wheels btw. Cheers!
October 19, 200816 yr Wow, looks like a real steam engine... though it has studs! Your creation is very detailed! I like it a lot! And I like the classic colour scheme, namely black and red.
October 20, 200816 yr It's an amazing first train MOC I love all the details. I like to see black steam trains, and the red parts really gives this train a great look.
October 21, 200816 yr I really just love this design. You've finally done a good MOC Captain green hair! No, no, you've done good MOCs before.
