Steinkopf Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) Hello Everyone I would like to share some photos of a locomotive I built a few years ago originally for the Flickr Lego Trains MOC's 2-4-0 competition, since then the locomotive has gone through a number of progressive rebuilds to the state she is in today, the design is a freelanced build and is inspired by a number of designs used by a variety of German railways from around the 1880s, the main influence is from the Saxon IIIB http://www.worldrailfans.info/Articles/Europe/GermanSteamImages/Saxon/IIIb.jpg and the Wurttemberg AC http://www.worldrailfans.info/Articles/Europe/GermanSteamImages/Wurttemberg/Ac.jpg class locomotives. Here is the Backstory about the locomotive Built in 1885 the 19 Class was the last 2-4-0 type to be built for the Kaiserlich Legodtenstein Staatsbahnen, a total of 8 were built of which 194 is the last example left. The class were used on express services till 1904 with the introduction of the 85 Class 4-4-2 Atlantics, from then on they were employed as a mixed traffic loco on branchline services until the 1950s when the scrapping of the steam fleet began.

LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 2, 2012 Very nice steamer ''Steinkopf'. I really like it's small size and color choice. Will you be adding carriages or other rolling stock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 2, 2012 Very nice MOC Steinkopf! Very inspiring! I like the way you have used the blind wheels and how the small front wheels work without interfering with the pistons movement! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SavaTheAggie Posted March 2, 2012 Nicely done. There's some great techniques on her, and I there's nothing bad I can say about the color choice. :) --Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steinkopf Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Thanks Everyone for the comments. Nicely done. There's some great techniques on her, and I there's nothing bad I can say about the color choice. :) --Tony Thanks Tony I know you always have a soft spot for Green and Black livery just like that of the TSR , I still have to get you to build a small boilered loco using half cylinders one of these days .

azuremoon Posted March 12, 2012 nice loco! though i would fill in that gap between the wheel frame and the boiler. steam trains are supposed to be solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steinkopf Posted March 12, 2012 nice loco! though i would fill in that gap between the wheel frame and the boiler. steam trains are supposed to be solid. Eventually I would like to fit some detail in that area but I would still like to have a decent amount of daylight under the boiler, there are quite a number of classes from the late 1800s till the end of steam that featured a fair bit of daylight under the boiler including the Midland 4MT 0-6-0, NZR Q Class 4-6-2 and the BR 9F 2-10-0.

SavaTheAggie Posted March 12, 2012 Plenty of steam engines had daylight under their boilers. I'm only now revisiting old MOCs and adding, or I suppose more accurately taking away, such detail. Check out the amount of daylight visible on this steamer I found at the Galveston Railroad Museum: GalvestonRRMuseum_083 by SavaTheAggie, on Flickr --Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingstop Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) Or this one - from first hand experience - a lot of sky tree are visible through the chasis. A baldwin 280 in need of some TLC. Edited March 12, 2012 by roamingstudio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
