BR CLASS 04 (Mavis)

[THERIZE]

Hi guys, I build this a few weeks ago and thinking about which moc to upload I decided to upload this one due to it being my favorite and most detailed

about the prototype:

The first four of these locomotives (11100-3 later D2200-3) were fitted with side skirting and cowcatchers for use on the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway and on the Yarmouth Docks tramway system. (British law requires locomotives running on unfenced street trackage to be so protected for the protection of pedestrians). The next batch differed from the first in being fitted with conical exhaust stacks (instead of the plain exhaust pipe that was later added to the original exhaust "hole") and shaped cab front windows (instead of the rectangular windows of the first batch). However, at least two (11111/D2210 and 11113/D2212) were also fitted with cowcatchers, etc. for use on the Ipswich docks tramway system.

My model:

As you can see this model is based of the 'tramway' mod with sideplates and cowcatchers. the couplings use the older magnets. It has no cap interior and the doors can't open.

This is the rear of the model where you can see the hazard stripes and the way how I managed to attach the cowcatchers.

On this picture you can see the way how I attached the sideplates. the only thing I'm worrying about is the fact that the wheels are not close to the couplings and will thus make the couplings stick out in the corners. But sadly I can't make the wheels closer to the couplings because of the 1x1 bricks that acted as stairs.

Here is a picture of it compared to a minifigure.

And here a picture of it on rails. the sideplates cover the almost almost fully when on the rails what I really like.

But now, thank you for viewing! I hope you liked my model.

Rize!

Looks good! Is it motorized?

If the couplings stick out too much, you could enlarge the wheelbase I think.

This is an awesome moc! I love small loco's like this! Small size with a ton of detail

That is a great small build. You mentioned that you can not bring the couplings closer to the wheels, what if you replaced the pair of 1x1x1 panels for each set of steps with a single 1x1x1 panel?

nope it's not motorized. I tried it from the beginning but I immediately noticed nothing fit in it.

thanks!

I just tried it but I don't like how it looks. and while modifying i found a way to fix the problem. :classic:It looks terrible on tracks when the couplings are sticking out but it works anyway, thanks! Edited September 13, 2015 by THERIZE

Istantly recognisable well done. Hadn't realised they ran at Wisbeach. I'm not old enough but my dad has some memories of that tramway from his childhood.

this is a fun little project!

[Dread Pirate Rob]

Great build and excellent details. I love the brick built safety stripes. Is it possible to fit a driver in the cab?

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

What a nice design!

I like the way you've hidden the wheels! :thumbup:

yep it is possible although I didn't build an interior.

Looks good. Interesting history of the side skirting.

[Pizzareno]

This is really really nice

thanks guys for the positive reactions! glas that you guys like it!
