Hi everyone.

This is my version of the SBB CE 6/8 Electric Locomotive, called the Swiss Crocodile.

I try to represent it as much realistic and detailed as i can.

It is also a Lego Ideas project, so if you really like it you can support following the link.

Thanks to all.

Looking good, I like the use of the newer profile bricks (brick bricks) for the side details.

[vedosololego]

Thank you. I used them on the back side tryin' to reply the original. Now i'm waiting the activation on brickshelf, and i will add a more detailed render and a photo of the Real locomotive.

Very nice build. I agree that the profile bricks really set off the looks of the MOC.

Oh WOW!

No brick bricks in reddish brown yet available I see. But that's minor compared to all those other details. Ice skate as an ornament. Brilliant!

[michaelozzie]

Awesome work in capturing the details with some clever parts usage. Good job

What a beautiful locomotive. Great job with the pantographs! What are those things between the leading axle and the coupler?

[peedeejay]

It's a beauty!

Clever use of pieces, good work!

Very nice locomotive and amazing realization!

[vedosololego]

Thank You all. More than one year to build it and some details missing compared to the original project, but the final result is not bad. I Always try to find a second use for the parts that I have, it's funny. Here I've used the ice skates, the snowshoes and bugs. In the E326 locomotive I used bows for the pantographs.

A beautiful build. Glad for you to realize it into the real brick. CAD to brick achieved! Indeed, clever bits and great details.

Its huge! Very nice creation, and in great colour! Congratulations!

Very clever parts use and a great overall effect. Must look superb weaving through points:) I really like the use of gold rings on the lights. Great build!

[vedosololego]

Thank You so much for this great compliments. Now the project has 1471 supporters and only 58 days left. It will never reach 10000. But it's a big satisfaction for me. I hope LEGO will produce in future new realistic locomotives like this one but also like some amazing projects from others creators. Now i've got others two locomotives close to 500 supporters, and a Christmas Train. I've heard voices about a Christmas Train for this year. Have someone heard something about it? I'm courious to see if it is similar to the mine one. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/132674 This is the link to the project, but now i've built it in real bricks with some additions. I'm trying to make some nice pictures but it's too big and it don't fit in the light-box.

I recently got a german LEGO Train book, is also featured in there (the crocodile)! And I'm sure LEGO also get's their inspiration from Ideas projects like yours even if they don't reach 10.000+
