KringlesBricks Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Well, all, another MOC to add to the list... I have always wanted to have a crocodile engine ever since the 7551 came out (Red Crocodile) . Sine I didn't have the opportunity to get one, I have decided to MOC one of my own. I was inspired by the Austrian OBB E94 Crocodile Electric Engine (I know it's not exact; but, gave me the inspiration to get it rolling to where it is now. This is only a WIP as I am waiting on PF functions and some parts from Bricklink to finish it up. It's running on 9V at the moment to test the curves - and yes, it does very well on the curves. I am quite happy how it's turning out; especially being able to find parts in my own OLD collection to make the pantographs Enjoy while progress continues when parts get in the next week or two Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Absolutely lovely! Great design and amazing colors and details! :thumbup: Quote
garethjellis Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 What a fun build. The pantographs are nicely detailed! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Nice build, the binoculars for the pantographs are a clever idea. While I doubt it was your intention, the color scheme is reminiscent of New York Central. Pull off the articulated "hoods" from this model and it could look like an NYC boxcab. I know, I know, the croc is much more appealing. The box cab is just an alternate build to put on the back of the box. Quote

I google imaged searched the NYC boxcab, and can totally make it an "alternating engine". Thanks for the cool info! Quote
KringlesBricks Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Well, here she sits 98% finished. I say 98% because I know I'll be tweaking it off and on. But, I'm glad it's finally done! Quote
detjensrobert Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Looks good! (So does the ballast!) . Quote
Robin Creations Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Great job! (So does the ballast!) Yep! Quote
Man with a hat Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Wow. Impressive. And very clever use of those cheese slopes to minimise the gap. Quote
ummester Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Yea, the inverse cheese slopeyness is clever way to tighten the gap. I really like the way the electric contacts on the roof are modelled also. Well done. Apart from something you throw overboard, what is ballast? Quote
detjensrobert Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Ballast is the gravel under the tracks. . Quote
