Posted December 14, 201113 yr Hey there, I just wanted to share my Maersk Switcher (shunter?). I've been working on it off and on since I first got the Maersk train set. The majority of it comes from the tractor + trailer. The rest from grab bags. I sorta just started building it one day aimlessly. It isn't necessarily supposed to be a copy of an actual switcher but if it's close to something let me know... I'm open to ideas on how to improve it. I hate the windscreens, I'd like something more realistic but the train windows I saw on bricklink were like $10 each (sloping gray with windows). Also I have no idea what I'm doing with the lights on it! Thanks!!!
December 14, 201113 yr That is really cool. It will look nice running around the yard with a few Maersk engines and a bunch of rolling stock and containers. I think it would have been cool to incorporate the windscreen from the Maersk truck, but it does look cool!
December 14, 201113 yr Nice small engine you have there 'wondermonkey', but I could never tear apart my Maersk train set.....I too much ! Brick On !

December 15, 201113 yr Looks great! I like the cab detail from what I can see. Edited December 15, 201113 yr by Loggii
December 15, 201113 yr Very nice switcher 'wondermonkey'. It is a nice change for the Maersk. Great job on that other loco, will you be posting that as well? I'd love to see it

Yeah I guess I could. For the other engine, for most part I followed the BNSF instructions online and built it with what was available. Unfortunately, many of the bricks were stolen from my wife's camper and other sets. I owe her one for Christmas! I also was experimenting with O scale model decals so its not quite right but easy enough to replace someday. I havent posted on here before so yeah maybe Ill put the rest up here sometime. There are so many great ideas on this website.
December 15, 201113 yr Great work wondermokey! This diesel shunter is a little masterpiece! Awesome colors scheme!
