[MOC] No more Dark Blue! ;-) (ÖBB 4010, WLB "Köln" tram, ...)

Hi,

One mission of the past weeks was to use up left Dark Blue parts... after Orient Express, Blue Lightning etc. I already was fed up with it.

I still wanted to add one ÖBB favourite to my collection - however, using a different concept than the monstrous Blue Lightning. So, I tried to build a class 4010 "Transalpin" EMU in classic 6w format.

One condition for that was being able to design the front properly - which I think turned out nicely. You can recognize it from any angle. I managed to show the most important details (the croissant in the dining car can be imagined as a Schnitzel ;-))

 

 

Also from my childhood I remember the Vienna Local Railway EMUs from Cologne:

In 8w size:

 

 

A few remaining windows were put into a large couchette car.

Wow, great additions to your rolling stock @Brickstone_City.

Very nice designs, but my favorite is, without doubt, the large couchette car 😍

I'm blown away. 😱 For several years now, I've been thinking about how to create the front of the 4010. And whether dark blue is the right colour. 

Honestly  I was tinkering around with 7-8 wide 😉 But you managed it in 6w! 👏🏻Respect! I'm absolutely thrilled and, if I am allowed, I'll be copying a thing or two.

Quite the locomotive and consist. Looks great and at 6-wide no less!

Incredible work, as usual !

Top notch work... I love to see dark bluish grey bogies, they are not that common and Lego should make them too.

Beautiful dark blue coach

Thanks again! :-)
