Kiwago Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 (edited) Hello All I always wanted to have railway diorama. First I thought about HO scale, however I turned into bricks since they offer more flexibility and endless fun of constructing and buildings whatever you want. I made models of some of the Polish National Railways - Polskie Koleje Państwowe PKP, postwar locomotives and cars. I especially like older painting schemes in green/dark green or yellow/red. Unfortunately some of the bricks are not produced by the TLC in requested colors and must be purchased from the third party companies. Therefore my locos are more for AFOB than pure AFOL and these are not exact scale models since I made some simplifications and tried to recreate general shape, so purists of scale modelling may be disappointed. For example all pantographs are the same. Model of EU-06 EU-07 is derived from Mateusz 69 EU-07 constraction, however I made changes to base and walls. Total part count is 29737. In the middle part of the roof there is a movable section that can be put off to have access for power hub. The most chalenging for me was to recreate shape of ET-22 and SU bodies. There are models that I created, I hope I find some time to bild them all. : Top, Left to right EN-57 EP-01, EP-02, EP-03 EU-04, EU-05, EU-06 EU-o7, EP-09 ET-40, ET-41 ET-42, ET-21, ET-22 ST-43, ST-44 SU/SP-45, SU-46   In EU-06, EU-07 and ET-41 there is a cheat in render picture. It was not possible to install part no 48169 in the front of the loco to work as lower frontlights. In reality there is a hole with bar 3L in the middle which sticks out from the front. To acheive the look as in the render picture you must cut cylindrical part of 48169 item and put it on the bar. I did that in reality with EU-07 model that I have (in different paintscheme) and it looks as on the picture of EU-07 below.   Edited August 25, 2024 by Kiwago Quote

idlemarvel Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 My goodness you have been busy manipulating those electrons! Excellent models all of them. And you made the front page, well done. Are you planning to realise any of them in brick? Quote
Kiwago Posted August 25, 2024 Author Posted August 25, 2024 Yes I do. All of them, when I get bricks and that for sure take some time and money. 29737 elements to buy. Quote
Shiva Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 Nice trains and loco's. I guess you'll build 1 at a time, while at the same time getting all, or most of the parts needed. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 26, 2024 Posted August 26, 2024 Wow absolutely gorgeous! So many renders and so many incredible solutions! Quote
