Hi Lego Train Comunity,

here a special version of the Italian FS E 636, called Camilla. A very sad story behind its birth, However, let's enjoy the machine and the brick version...

Here my version

bmarco,

Fantastic locomotive. Having looked it up I found that all these locomotives use the same frame and drive train with minor adjustments and changes to the body. That must have helped a lot in designing each one as I am sure you reused the frame and running gear. As a matter of inquiry, how are the running characteristics of the articulated Bo'Bo'Bo' design? I ask as this is the third one you posted. I realize that the grand curves in the video skew things a bit so how does it fair on straights and through actual curves? (Too bad someone didn't have a Eurotunnel Class 9 on hand to compare to - fixed verses articulated Bo'Bo'Bo' designs.)

Welcome back Massimo, what a fantastic locomotive!

I love this new sister for your beautiful E656!

The video are impressive!

Thanks to LEGO Train 12 Volts,

as you know, this is not the sister of the E 656, but a E 636 with the cabine of the E 656. As I wrote, a sad story... tipically an Italian story...

Thanks to 3D LEGO. The running characteristics of the articulated Bo'Bo'Bo' design is perfect also through std curves, but i love large range curves...

bmarco,

I figured as much. Thank you for letting me know. I will add that to my notes.
