Fully 6-wide köf 2

[XG BC]

Hey guys,

Today i will show you my fully 6-wide köf 2. this locomotive is quite hard to make in 6-wide since it has platforms for people to stand on, which interfere with the wheels. this is the closest i have got so far, with upside down panels.

it uses the small wheels for extra space.

@XG BC Quite impressive! I can tell it took a lot of SNOT work to accurately render such a small locomotive in 6-wide. I'd be interested to see how you modeled the back wall of the cab, do you have a render of the locomotive from that side? It's hard to tell, but it looks like the bottom half of the cab wall is built upside-down. Once again, impressive! 

[XG BC]

Thank you! yup, bottom half is upside down, i already have some ideas to try next, on the front part, more tomorrow.

with even more snot nightmare i have managed to get the bottom part lower like it is on the real model. normally the wheels are in the way of these boards when building it 6-wide, but i have managed it with some trickery.

That's insane! But I fear your minifig crew might start protesting the working conditions. I like how you got the massive couplers on this tiny bug. Some of the snot makes my head hurt.

yeah, the snot is pretty wild. these locomotives were transported on flat cars from the factory, so the cab has to be this low. its not uncomfortable to ride one irl, i have done it, you can stand up in there.

Nice!

How would a Köf 2 in 1:38 / 1:40 scale look?
