Ex cinno Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Today test on the tracks for motorized version of my E444. Another E444, after the one published a few days ago by Lego Train 12 volts: be patient, you see that is a model that appeals to many. The E444 is an Italian locomotive built from the end of the 60's. Known by fans with the nickname "turtle" had a livery composed of oriental blue stripes on gray pearl background. My moc was inspired by a similar model made some years ago by another Lego enthusiast, Helos: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/61979-moc-e444-the-turtle-electric-fs-locomotive/ I have replaced the Bright blue he used with dark blue, because I consider it closer to the original, although the pieces made in this color are more limited and resulted in some changes to the structure of the model.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 4, 2016 Oooh here we are! Beautiful version of the "Turtle" with new lego modern colors! I like your solutions and the pantograph looks absolutely amazing! Very well done my friend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted November 5, 2016 And another nice E444. Wonderful design. Great Job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemo57 Posted November 5, 2016 Great model. Also it is possible not only to compare it with the original, but with yet another model of another user. It is very rare and good opportunity for learning building model trains. Excellent copy of a great locomotive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asper Posted November 7, 2016 Great engine, interesting to see how two different builders overcome the different challenges of this model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank for your words: Two new E444 at the same time in the forum it's a strange thing but a nice one for Italian trains. On 5/11/2016 at 3:34 PM, Man with a hat said: And another nice E444.

Ex cinno Posted November 10, 2016 It is not easy to deal with a great competitor as Lego Train 12 Volt but i think we were able to well reproduce, although in a different way, the original model.

Cris Posted November 24, 2016 The dark blue give your train a very realistic look. Seem to see the real E444 in action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
