Frank STENGEL Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Here is my 8-wide version of the BR64. I modelled it after the actual lok numbered: 064-019-3. Hence no hole in the water tank above the first driver. This helped a lot: the 9V battery is hidden at that place... I'll post the link to the brickshel folder once it is made public. I will also provide an ldr file for a model almost like the one I present (I made many alterations while building it) Edited February 22, 2012 by Frank STENGEL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 24, 2012 I've seen the inner 9 volts battery and the power button, I use the same system with my locomotives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garethjellis Posted October 30, 2014 Hey Stengel, how does the flanged wheel spacing on your GREAT BR64 like standard lego curves and switches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank STENGEL Posted October 30, 2014 I haven't found any problems with the spacing. I had to slightly modify the front and back trucks to prevent them from jumping track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garethjellis Posted October 30, 2014 is there any friction cause by the flanges? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank STENGEL Posted October 30, 2014 Good question. There is some friction due to the flanges, therefore causing a slowdown in curves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garethjellis Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you, this helps me as I am just finishing a steamer and wanted to make sure i wasn't going to use bad spacing. thanks for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
