LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 16, 2017 DB 152 019-6 Hello everybody, it's time to present my new German project that will first see an electric locomotive, then a diesel and finally a steam engine! I took inspiration for my DB 152 from this user MOC Pages to realize my version that is higher to maintain proportions with my other locomotives, mount more realistic pantographs and (as usual) is equipped with white and red lights! Yesterday I was lucky, while I was in the mountains... ...I had the chance to take a live photo to this moving locomotive in Switzerland! Now enjoy the pictures! For my the next diesel locomotive I don't want to anticipate anything ... it will be a surprise! The constructor drone holds the tile containing the answer...

Toastie Posted July 16, 2017 Hi LT12V, very nice interpretation. The changes and additions you made to your inspiring model are nicely standing out! And the light is - as always - just beautiful. Now: What type is the bot (is it a bot? One from the coal age?) assembling the German flag? All the best! Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 16, 2017 Thanks Thorsten, the robot is an invention of my kids that I wanted to use to make them a surprise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted July 16, 2017 Tell them, your kids made your post a lovely post! Best Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted July 17, 2017 NIce. The pantographs definitely look better. I like the simple solution of using the existing train window with the angled front. Looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashi Valkoinen Posted July 17, 2017 Nice and simple solution, with a dedicated sticker set it could be easily a locomotive of a nice selling MOC set. :) I often think about to give some try to 6W, simple MOC trains as an "enter level" for kids in age 6-10, but I always end up with designing some 8W monster. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
