adrian_dixon Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) Hello i just thought i would share a MOC that i have been working on for some time now, It is of a Tasrail DQ class loco number 2012 that was painted to commemorate 75 years of continuous mill operation at the MMG Rosebery mine. I have started a MOC of another dq class loco in the old red and yellow livery with 2 power function m with both front and rear trucks powered unfortunately i can not fit the battery and ir receiver in the loco so it will have to go on a separate wagon, I will post up some pics once that is complete. Now i have to give alot of credit to Daniel aubin for his instructions for the GE C30-7 on railbricks as i used the 3 axle truck design and got alot of ideas from that train. Now i think my pics are to big to deeplink to the site so i will just link to my brickshelf folderhere Hereis a link to a photo of the real loco Let me know what you think and any ideas for improvement. Here is a few resized images. Edited February 11, 2012 by adrian_dixon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hechristensen Posted February 11, 2012 Very good work. I like the front of the train? What is the model? It looks somewhat like the BNSF.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 11, 2012 Very nice engine 'adrian', perhaps you could resize and deep-link those resized images straight in to your post. Excellent work, though that yellow will get dirty at the mines to easy ! Brick On 'adrian' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JopieK Posted February 11, 2012 Very nice indeed!!! Also looks like some Dutch trains (not the front). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dan-147 Posted February 12, 2012 Hi adrian_dixon, Very impressive. I have to admit that what I thought was "wrong" about your model (unsymetrical front windows, low and square short hood) are spot on with the real loco's photo. I can't think of very many ways to improve it as it is, maybe hang a 3854 or a 60608 behind the cab (although I'm not sure how...) By the way, the three-axle truck is not my design. I borrowed it from Scot Ward. It was featured in Railbricks issue 6, page 62-65. Dan-147 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrian_dixon Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks everyone for the comments. The front windows and the low hood are very distinctive features on this train so i spent a lot of time getting the windows right. I am happy with the look of the train I just wish I could sort out the last of the decals to finish it off. I will post up some pictures when I have all the decals done.
