E444-068

Today test on the tracks for motorized version of my E444.

 

 

Another E444, after the one published a few days ago by Lego Train 12 volts: be patient, you see that is a model that appeals to many.  

The E444 is an Italian locomotive built from the end of the 60's.

Known by fans with the nickname "turtle" had a livery composed of oriental blue stripes on gray pearl  background.

My moc was inspired by a similar model made some years ago by another Lego enthusiast, Helos: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/61979-moc-e444-the-turtle-electric-fs-locomotive/

I have replaced the Bright blue he used with dark blue, because I consider it closer to the original, although the pieces made in this color are more limited and resulted in some changes to the structure of the model.

Oooh here we are! 

Beautiful version of the "Turtle" with new lego modern colors! 

I like your solutions and the pantograph looks absolutely amazing! 

Very well done my friend!

Wonderful design. Great Job.

Great model. Also it is possible not only to compare it with the original, but with yet another model of another user. It is very rare and good opportunity for learning building model trains. Excellent copy of a great locomotive.

Great engine, interesting to see how two different builders overcome the different challenges of this model.

Nice work.  Is it powered?

Thank for your words: Two new E444 at the same time in the forum it's a strange thing but a nice one for Italian trains.

It is not easy to deal with a great competitor as Lego Train 12 Volt but  i think we were able to well reproduce, although in a different way, the original model.

The dark blue give your train a very realistic look. Seem to see the real E444 in action.
