Legotron (Panzerbricks) Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Hello, Some weeks ago I built some train elements to be used as "atrezzo" in my pictures, they were intended to be decoration elements, but friends suggested me to build the complete engine and wagons, so I did it and this is the final result. The pictures are a bit blurry due the lack of light, sorry. Quote
Man with a hat Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 You got to be kidding "decoratation". It more looks like the main attraction. Wonderful locomotive and the wagons as well. I really like the boxcar. Quote
Ex cinno Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Very very nice diorama, where loco and wagons are undisputed protagonists. Quote
cgarison Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Nice detail on the locomotive and cars and the diorama is stunning! Quote
BricksMcgee Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Nice bit of landscaping, and the train is great too! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Oh wow! The whole train looks fine ...I really like the first cargo wagon: too beautiful! Quote
Commander Wolf Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 This is a lovely diorama, but aren't the wheels/chassis on these German steamers supposed to be red? I looked on Google images and the only two color schemes I could see for the BR 86 was black/red and full grey. Quote
Legotron (Panzerbricks) Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Many thanks! This is a lovely diorama, but aren't the wheels/chassis on these German steamers supposed to be red? I looked on Google images and the only two color schemes I could see for the BR 86 was black/red and full grey. I'm not a train expert and I can't say why but many German steam engines have their wheels and other red elements painted black during World War II. As I want to represent military trains I chose black. Quote
zephyr1934 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Oh wow, that is a great train and I have to agree with Man with a hat, if this is just a quick background piece I can't imagine what your builds must look like when you put effort in to them. Well done! Quote
Legotron (Panzerbricks) Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks! Well, I don't put many details in my MOCs. I love hiperrealistic MOCs but they need tons of small parts and are more expensive. I preserve most of my builds as a part of my collection, so each time I build something new I have to purchase most of the needed pieces. Quote
Vliebricker Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Hi there Legotron, I agree totally with the others. It's a lovely piece of train and terain work that you've built. A real Panzerzug, wow! I wished that I could see it with my own eyes. It completely fits into my kind of theme as a former Panzer-man. Please come with more detailed photos. Did you build in a PF engine in the loc? Did you scratch-build the loc and wagons or did you use a buildingplan? All the Panzerbricks stuff is also awesome to see! Keep up with the good works and show it all. Quote
Legotron (Panzerbricks) Posted April 27, 2015 Author Posted April 27, 2015 Many thanks! I didn't put any Pf in the engine neither the wagons, because that is my first train and I don't have any PF. The pistons and rods work very well even in the curves, I push the train with my hands and they did the complete cycle without any problem. I searched some info about the problem of these trains with the curves and I saw some Youtube videos in which were shown some solutions. I used a picture of a BR86 for reference, and that's all. I needed many rounds of building to get the correct aspect of the engine, and then I worked the functional features. The first wagon was inspired by some pictures I saw in brickshelf, and was the first element of the train I built. The rest of the wagons were built after pictures of real ones for reference. I didn't know the real measures so I built them at my own. I want to take better pics, but after the event I will need some weeks to order and repair everything and make enough room to take better pictures. Quote
Legotron (Panzerbricks) Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 I've taken better pictures of the elements of the train. (The wagon carrying the panzer needs some updates and wasn't ready for the pictures). Bigger pictures here: Quote
zephyr1934 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 Utterly brilliant ballast (and I had not noticed the "rail holders" with the jumper plates) Quote
bogdanmn Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 The loco is amazing. great job ! And the scenery look great too Quote
Feuer Zug Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 That's a great train you've built. The locomotive looks great, I like the steam, and you've got an excellent 8-40 boxcar. Brick on! Quote
THERIZE Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Your train looks soooo cool! I love your freight wagons! Quote
