kieran Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Hi all, I know this has been done several times but thought I would share the newest addition to my fleet. Here we have a 9V equipped new Grey version of the Lego Santa Fe Super Chief. Right now the fake engine is not built, and I need to find a set of stickers to complete the build. Quote
Feuer Zug Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Nice locomotive you have there. It looks good with the new light bley pieces. Quote
dr_spock Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Looks good in bley. Do the bogie frames come in bley too? Quote
kieran Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Yep, the only non bley piece is this http://www.bricklink...mPic.asp?P=2434 I have the b unit done as well, just missing a few bits for the roof detailing will upload a pic later Edited February 16, 2015 by kieran Quote
kieran Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Hi again, here we have a photo with the nearly complete B unit attached Quote
FlyerNut Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 That's really nice, do you happen to know the part # for the bogie frames? Quote
detjensrobert Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 What did you use for the side doors? I thought they only came in old grey... . Quote
Murdoch17 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Those are cabinets, such as this: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4532 with this for doors: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4533 Quote
kieran Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) That's really nice, do you happen to know the part # for the bogie frames? This is what I used in bley http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2871b Edited February 16, 2015 by kieran Quote
ecmo47 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) That's really nice, do you happen to know the part # for the bogie frames? It's part number 2871.The problem is that the only set the Bley ones came was the BNSF engine so they are about as rare as the Light Grey ones. Per Bricklink, the average cost for the Bley ones is about $9.25 where the Light Grey ones run about $8.71. If you switch to black, the cost is only $2.21. Kieran quote part #2871b which is the side frame associated with the Power Function motors. Part #2871 is the correct one for the 9 volt motor. I dont know what the difference is or if they are interchangable. Oh...and great looking model! Love the A+B unit combo. Hope you can find some decals for it soon.

Cwetqo Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Those for PF motors have cutouts for axles. You can put PF siding on 9V motor, but you can not put 9V siding to PF motor (axle will get in its way). Quote
ecmo47 Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Ah! So on Kieran's "A" unit, he has part #2871b on the rear (you can see the axle cut-outs) with the 9v motor and #2871 on the front and "B" unit. Quote

Actually, the front bogie and B unit use regular train wheels on Light Bluish Gray. The only motor is on the one with the axle cutout. Fantastic model by the way!

Fantastic model by the way! You got it right, the only sides are the PF ones in Bley, and the rest are brick built bogies Quote
