General Work in Progress topic

[UrbanErwin]

Hello all,

I have been thinking about making this a while back, but didn't have any WIP builds. The idea is a general WIP topic for posting WIP shots of unfinished creations.

If you post something here please include (if posssible):

- A picture (or more)

- Links to prototypes and/or creations you base you creation on

- Any other information other user should know when they help you

---

I will start:

I am currently working on an American diesel engine like this one but in 7 studs wide and a fictional colour scheme.

legoman666's version is also a big inspiration source.

As I don't have seen one of these in real life I have no idea if the scales are off, or that they are right.

Things I still want to add:

- A big ventilator thing on the back (how do you call those?)

- Plows and couplers on the trucks

- A better fuel tank

I hope I have provided enough information.

The thread could be neat to watch, although it will become disorganized if there are several people posting at once.

Your locomotive looks good so far. With 5 wide, you can do sneaky snot work to hide a battery box ;) Are you planning on something like that?

I'm planning on making a few more of mine with different paint schemes.

Train looks neat. Weren't you thinking of using the train wagon end parts on the sides and the front and back? They look slightly bare to me.
