[MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0

Hello.

 

Long time no see.

It's been about a year since I last posted an update to my collection.

This time I’d like to introduce my first MOC of 2024.

This is a locomotive that I became interested in after seeing @Paperinik77pk's post.

The best feature is that it is powered by two 12v Technic motors.

Latest MOC is a retry of the Köf II, which used the same motor but didn't have enough power.

First, look at the running.

The running speed in the video is the maximum speed.

The biggest factor was being able to secure space to gear down.

Initially, I designed it with a gear ratio of 3:5, but I couldn't get enough power, so I changed it to 1:9.

It runs very well and can pull seven 6x28 base wagons in the range I tested it with.

But it's much slower than a normal motor.

When mounting a minifigure, change the legs to avoid the axle.

The original locomotive was owned by Barbara Pirch, so it uses an Ice Planet series head.

The nose moves in the same way as #4551.

Line up with my previous work Swiss Crocodile.

I am very happy that I was able to recreate the two crocodiles in 12v 

 

Thank you for reading to the end.

#7866 and the station shown in the back of the video are also new collections.

This is a video of running the 10 locomotives I owned as of October.

Now I have 12 

The track was changed from double track to single track.

12v station based on Idea Book #7777.

Large old gray plates in good condition are expensive so there is no platform on the other side

Illuminated by 4 light bricks.

In the photo, it is a little dark because it is lit at 9v.

Quiet fun and nice build

Brilliant work. The exterior looks great and stuffing a pair of 12v motors in really makes it shine.

I'm becoming more interested in vintage LEGO so your blue crocodile MOC is right up my alley.  I also watched the video of your other locomotives.  So good, as is the idea book in your photos
