Pdaitabird Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Wow wow wow...just fantastic. Those minifig hats are the perfect size and shape for buffers! Quote
Roadmonkeytj Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I noticed your using a single flange for the medium drivers on the tender ... You want two use two of those as the blind driver and mount the rubber tire to the inner of the two as a good representative for the flanged driver. Otherwise the model looks very well done and appears that you've Captured it well. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Fantastic project ...are you planning to do this locomotive in real bricks? Quote

No, because I just destroyed it with my latest British locomotive. I can't even look at the P2 anymore XD. Edited February 8, 2020 by SteamSewnEmpire Quote

Driver Brandon Grumman Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Nice! Love how you used the minifig hats for buffers and mechanisms for wheels. Quote

Unfortunately, those fig hats don't come in LBG (or even the old light grey). The closest is dark grey. I might try dyeing some white ones when the time comes. Quote
zephyr1934 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 That's a great job you've done. I particularly like the shrouding around the stack. The only suggestion I have is to omit the handrail under the cab window. While there is one there on the prototype it is over-accentuated at lego scale. Quote
izx Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Bravo...fantastic job! What number is that LBG piece with the hex hole fixed to the nose dish? Might come in handy for a few things and look better than the ol' 1L bar with round plate I've been using. Quote
weeble1688 Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Not to butt in, but I believe that piece to be most likely this: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6246d&idColor=0#T=C&C=0 Another possibility that is a bit more recent is this one: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=11402i#T=C I hope that helps!

izx Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 That's it, @weeble1688 Thank you so much! I figured it was a 'utensil' of some kind but didn't hit on 'wrench'. The newer 3-rib version also comes in pearl gold and medium azure! Quote

The unfortunate thing is LDD won't allow you to do stud-reversing with it, which it can also do IRL. Quote
