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.

Thanks for your attention.

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)

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.

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.
