Posted May 27, 201410 yr Hello my friends!! this is my frist try to do a steam! its again a portguese replica, 7wide, lots of details, I hope to build it soon. hope you like it :) Edited June 24, 201410 yr by Sérgio
May 28, 201410 yr Nice steamer you built there! Very accurate to the prototype too. What is the apparatus in front of the smoke box? Is that the air reservoir for brakes?
May 28, 201410 yr It's a nice looking steamer! I enjoy the attention to the details of the real-life prototype, especially the lamps on the front. I wonder how this powerful-looking but long loco would handle on LEGO's tight radii...?
May 28, 201410 yr Hi Sérgio, your steam locomotive looks very good. Your model is very close to the original. Like it very much. It is not a photo, right? It looks like a file. which was processed in the PC. Do you already know whether they curve through. and travels over turnouts? The 9 Volt drive unit I would still dress up a little. Best regards Udo
May 28, 201410 yr As a Lego steam engine, that looks *really* good. Looking at the photo however, you might want to consider slightly lengthening the tanks, the look a bit short on the MOC when compared to the photo.
May 28, 201410 yr Seen it on your Flickr account before really beautifull like the rest of your designs. One note though, should it be 2-8-4 instead of 1-4-2?
May 28, 201410 yr Depends on what part of Europe you live in I believe. Some count all wheels (4-6-2), some count one side (2-3-1) and some weirdos (the French and Oliver Bulleid) count only half the none powered wheels with numbers, and only half the driving wheels alphanumerically (2-C-1)..
May 28, 201410 yr Great work on that tank engine with the detailing. I just hope it doesn't have too much overhang when going around corners. Depends on what part of Europe you live in I believe. Some count all wheels (4-6-2), some count one side (2-3-1) and some weirdos (the French and Oliver Bulleid) count only half the none powered wheels with numbers, and only half the driving wheels alphanumerically (2-C-1).. Haha, I don't know if they count it like 2-3-1 anywhere!? At least here in Austria you count the non-powered axles with numbers and the powered ones with capital letters (I think that'y the most common way in Europe). Furthermore you can add an apostrophe after the nonpowered axle if the trailing truck is movable. Like 2'C1' in this case.
May 28, 201410 yr Nice shot Sérgio! This is another top notch work ...I like how you arrange your locomotives! Great piston rods!
May 31, 201410 yr Wow, you did a great job capturing the prototype, lots of great details in that build.
June 25, 201410 yr I'll add my voice/words to the chorus! This looks great. I would love to see it in real bricks too
