My LEGO Ideas Entry: Austrian Class 310 Steam Locomotive

[steamengine]

Hi everyone!
I’d like to share my latest build — a faithful 1:35 scale model of the Austrian Class 310 Steam Locomotive, shown here in its elegant light blue livery used by the Austrian Federal Railways in the early 1900s.

This model features plenty of realistic details, including:

• the distinctive aerodynamic boiler shape,

• opening driver’s doors,

• a detailed cab interior,

• front lights and steps,

• leaf springs and standard magnetic couplings,

• and the largest original LEGO train wheels.

The chassis is fully articulated, allowing the locomotive to run smoothly on standard LEGO tracks.
Inside the tender, it’s also possible to install a Powered Up motor and hub — a gear transmission is already integrated into the rear bogie.

I’ve built and tested the model with real bricks to ensure both functionality and robustness.

Hope you enjoy it — and I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or ideas for improvement!
Thanks for stopping by, and keep the steam going!
