ScotNick Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Hey folks! Well, some years ago I designed a model of an LMS (London Midland and Scottish Railway) Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-2T engine designed in LDD. So one week ago I changed the livery to the one that was really used and reduced bricks (it just has about 580 for that detailed model). Furthermore I tried to incorporate Power Functions. There is enough room for them, the PF Small motor will definitely fit, but I'll try it with the PF Large motor first. Here is the design from LDD: Here is a pic where you see the PF components: I have built some of the model in real bricks, I just don't have all the parts yet( at least in the right color), though I nearly finished one side: The trailing wheels all clear nicely in curves. I also designed a model of the BR 9F 'Evening Star' which could be operated with Power Functions or 9v in the tender, maybe I will try my hands on that one sometime: I hope you enjoyed it, I will update the thread when it's more finished.

Lazarus Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Could you email me the LXF for the first loco that looks like a nice build. tindoor500@hotmail.com. Good work very nice locos. Quote
JopieK Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Sehr schön ;) (or: very nice in German), you especially did a great job getting the curves in there! I like the front deflectors with the horns very much! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 You've managed to pack a lot of detail in these, it is amazing that you were then able to find enough room to put the PF components too. Keep up the great work! Quote
v6TransAM Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Awesome, drawings are no fun when there is no Lego prototype with it Quote
AgentRick Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Those are pretty nice models, although I feel that there's too large of a gap between the Evening Star's boiler. Quote
Man with a hat Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Wow, nice models. Great detailing and the brick built lines work out great. Really nice. I do agree with AgenRick75 that the gap between the boiler and the wheels seems to be a bit large. But then again in real life there also was a big gap. Quote
escortmad79 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Any chance of posting the LXF files? Quote
ScotNick Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 Awesome, drawings are no fun when there is no Lego prototype with it Sehr schön ;) (or: very nice in German), you especially did a great job getting the curves in there! I like the front deflectors with the horns very much! Danke sehr :) (or thank you). Yeah, wasn't that easy to get the curves there These are some great models! Awesome, drawings are no fun when there is no Lego prototype with it Thanks! You've managed to pack a lot of detail in these, it is amazing that you were then able to find enough room to put the PF components too. Keep up the great work! Thanks, I didn't really design them with the PF components in mind, but then realized that it would be possible. There is nearly no room left in the LMS engine because of the PF, so that was really close to not working. Those are pretty nice models, although I feel that there's too large of a gap between the Evening Star's boiler. Wow, nice models. Great detailing and the brick built lines work out great. Really nice. I do agree with AgenRick75 that the gap between the boiler and the wheels seems to be a bit large. But then again in real life there also was a big gap. Well I just looked at the real engine, and yes now it seems to big to me as well, had it bigger in mind than it actually was, I probably gonna change that. But then I would have to make the engine higher, it already is a little bit lower than the Emerald Night. Any chance of posting the LXF files? Sure. I have attached it. One question: does anybody know if you have to gear down an L or M PF motor to use with Lego's large engine wheels (the ones first used in the Emerald Night), and if, how do you do that to get the right speed? I would rather use an L motor because it has much more torque, I'm just not sure yet if it fits. LMS_Ivatt_2MT_PFsmall.lxf Quote
Murdoch17 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Thanks for sharing the LDD file Scotnick! It makes my day when i see you've posted a file: it means I have a new puzzle to work out and figure what makes a model tick... or steam in this case! Edited February 16, 2014 by Murdoch17 Quote
jamesed_1971 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 A very good model of the LMS Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-2T Quote
rockethead26 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Great models! I especially like the Evening Star. Thanks, too, for sharing the LXF file. Quote
