bonox Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) I started this two years ago, and while it's been to a few local LUG shows, it isn't really finished. Anyone want to see it completed? Anyone know what it is? Edited June 15, 2020 by bonox Quote

aeh5040 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Looks impressive. Maybe should be in the trains forum though? Quote

Missing a lot of greebling and signwriting. The original question was based on the first image only. For Bluehose, it's a locomotive. I do have two iron ore wagons to go with it that together make a train. Thanks aeh5040 - i thought this fit the model team concept and it's about 30% technic by weight and is also self powered, albeit slowly, with twelve XL motors. - perhaps it should go into the scale model sub-forum instead. I was really just wondering about whether there was enough interest to justify me writing up a build history about it. Doesn't look like it. Quote

I'm not really familiar with trains and stuff but it looks great and the only thing I was thinking of some cables to the sparkplugs? or some other piping / tubing. For the rest it looks great, especially the top of the motor looks impressive. Quote
amorti Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 It's clear that it's massive. I'm assuming you lost count of parts long ago, but how heavy is it? 12* XL motors! Bet that takes a few battery boxes. I'd like to see it move. Quote
bonox Posted June 15, 2020 Author Posted June 15, 2020 Grey - it's about 15,000 according to the digital model, but it's missing a lot of detail, so probably closer to 30,000 all up plus another 5,000 for a wagon and the little diorama is another 3 or 4 thousand amorti - The loco comes to about 20 kilograms. Each bogie has six motors powering a wheel each, and the whole lot is controlled by this dude Quote
