Ex cinno Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) This little loco is my latest project, born from an LDD collaboration with another Lego afol, Claudio Brick. The FS 214 is an italian shunter, built between the 1979 and 1986. What struck me is the livery yellow and green. http://FS 214 1 by Claudio Calzoni, su Flickr http://FS 214 2 by Claudio Calzoni, su Flickr http://FS 214 3 by Claudio Calzoni, su Flickr http://FS 214 4 by Claudio Calzoni, su Flickr Thanks for your attention.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 What a wonderful work! Really spot on! The 7 studs wide give to this shunter a perfect shape! Quote
Ex cinno Posted April 20, 2016 Author Posted April 20, 2016 Last project...?? You are right Hod Carrier...sorry for my bad english. Despite my age, i am 62 years old, i hope to build Lego moc for many more years. Quote
Hod Carrier Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Phew!! I was worried that you were leaving us. I'm very happy that you plan to be with us for years to come. Quote
Dread Pirate Rob Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Love the brick built yellow stripes and the stocky proportions. For the side view, would it be worth adding some black blocks in front and behind the wheels to hint at the chaasis frame? It just looks a bit empty there to my eye. Great build! (and a jolly fine tree too) Quote

(and a jolly fine tree too) When i built it with Ldd the model was a little different and yes, there were some more parts under the chassis. But in real life I made some changes to grant more rotation to the wheels. Here the picture of the Ldd version. Quote
Ex cinno Posted May 19, 2016 Author Posted May 19, 2016 nice train, I like it! Will it be motorized? At the moment no, may be in the future. Quote
Patgeo Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Very nice little train! I really like the colours that you combined! Regarding the possibility of it to be motorized, when you deside to do it, i think you sould put the PF ttrain motor, and perhaps the battery inside the front part of it, where i believe it fits, and the IR Receiver, in the drivers' place.

zephyr1934 Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 Excellent little build and the colors of the prototype really make it pop! Quote
