Nieks Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 This is my third version of the NS 1850 Den Haag, I still have the feeling like I could improve it. But I was hoping this could be the last version I was building of the type. Let me know what you think about it... To see more pictures, you can visit my FLICKR page. You can also find the older versions of the 1850 loc I Build. Thnxz! Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Very great work Nieks! I love the brick built logos on the side. Quote
The Yellow Brick Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Really nice train Nieks The SNOT design on the side is fantastic. The train's actual size is great. very realistic Again great work! Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 You've done a great job, it resembles the original very closely and I love the graffiti on the side! The only improvement I can think of is making the bottom front sloped, that is quite iconic on these engines. Quote
Duq Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I like the detailling on the roof, and the graffiti on the side is a nice touch. Unfortunately very realistic - I hate graffiti on trains... The front of these engines is notoriously difficult to do in Lego with all those angles. Yours is not a bad effort but it feels like the windows are too tall in proportion to the rest of the front.

WesternOutlaw Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Outstanding Nieks and very different from traditional LEGO trains. I love the lettering/graffiti. I think this deserves some front-page attention. Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Great looking engine 'Nieks'. Wonderful details. The graffiti adds a nice urban touch. Keep up the great work Quote
lightningtiger Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 AWESOME engine 'Nieks', congrats on being front paged too ! Keep them comming and Brick On ! Quote
Blackknight112 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Wow an outstanding job! I really like the brickbuilt logo Quote
marsupilami Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Nice work Nieks. As duq said, it is very hard to capture the nose of these engines in Lego. I think you did a nice job, I like the horns used for the lights. It eliminates the need to build in 8+ wide I guess. I also like the graffiti touch. Unfortunately such graffiti is too common on 'our' trains... I was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago and found out where NS are keeping all those 16/17/1800 engines; a the switching yard alongside the Piet Hein kade. No photos unfortunately... Quote
chris_austin Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 What parts were used for the graffiti? I can't work it out... Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I like very much this MOC ...but I prefer the not bombing side! Great details! Quote
