Sérgio Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 (edited) This LEGO model is my attempt to create as accurate a replica as possible of the Medway 1907 locomotive, part of the Alsthom 1900 series, built at 1:45 scale. The model is fully motorized using LEGO Power Functions with BuWizz and features working LED lights. It is built from roughly 2,000 pieces and weighs around 1.2 kg. This is the third version of this locomotive that I have built. Earlier versions included a test livery (EVA) and a version in the original CP orange and brown colors. Each rebuild allowed me to refine both the appearance and the mechanical layout. This project was created purely for personal enjoyment and learning, with the intention of achieving the closest possible representation while keeping the model fully functional. Kudos to Gerbrand (Raised) for the Nez Cassé nose design that I'm using for the 5th time Edited December 30, 2025 by Sérgio Quote
Feuer Zug Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 Solid locomotive. The bogies are works of art. Quote
Toastie Posted December 30, 2025 Posted December 30, 2025 Well, as @Feuer Zug said ... A Google search of sergio + eurobricks >always< brings joy, as a LEGO master is sharing again ... Nice, really nice. The bogies for sure(!), but these "nose" angles. Man. And the detailing on the roof, the front, the sides ... All the best Thorsten Quote
zephyr1934 Posted December 31, 2025 Posted December 31, 2025 Another amazing build, there are so many great details in that MOC. Quote
LL1982 Posted December 31, 2025 Posted December 31, 2025 Another great one. You got a whole fleet of these? Have to say they look very similar to a Dutch train I am used to. I believe those also came from Alstom. Not too much of a true train guy, I know they are marked as NS1600 here, some of the LLMTC (Dutch lego train club) made them in 8w, pretty solid ones. Though I think your nose and boogies definitly are a step up. Quote

This one is a diesel model from Alstom but built in Portugal on mid 80s The nose is the same design as the NS1600/1800 both based on the French BB7200 Im using the same design/techniques from One of the LLMTC members (Raised) Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted Thursday at 07:54 AM Posted Thursday at 07:54 AM Hello Sèrgio, as @Toastie already said, when someone opens a post about one of your models it's awe-inspiring, and boy, this one is no exception! Those bogies are incredible and incredibly detailed, but when I read that the model is motorized, I fainted: I actually thought it was just a manual display locomotive. The roof details amaze me more than the front, because the pieces are so delicately placed in such an impossible way. Excellent! Quote
LL1982 Posted Thursday at 02:05 PM Posted Thursday at 02:05 PM Ok never knew that the train has French roots. I've seen raised his locomotive run on their layouts. So cool to have a full fleet of locomotives. Quote
Ferro-Friki Posted Thursday at 06:42 PM Posted Thursday at 06:42 PM What a gorgeous engine. I love a locomotive with plenty of texture and detail, and you certainly did her justice! I still can’t get over how good the bogies look… The stack of sideways plates with clips next to the Medway logo are a ladder or another grill? Are the bogie pivots between the first and second axels? In that case, how well do the inner axels take the curves? I guess all those grills made it impossible to apply the yellow arrows on the black background design Medway uses for its other engines. I think I like the “Pikachu” livery better. But not as much as the original CP orange. Still, anything is better than the boring dusty beige Medway uses for their Stadler Euro 6000 in Spain. Quote

It has 2 Powerfuntions Train motors (the 3rd axle is fake), the amount of the details is to hide the Train motors :P 21 hours ago, LL1982 said: Ok never knew that the train has French roots.

There is an older version, but this is the OG of this specific type of nose, Nez Cassé = Broken Nose in french In 2023, I attended a private LLMTC event. He took a photo with 15 models. At that time, I only had three “nez cassé”: two electric ones (Orange and Red/White) at the front, and a diesel one (the same model as in this post) at the back, among several European variations, from Raised, Erwin and Nicolas TBX 16 hours ago, Ferro-Friki said: What a gorgeous engine.

The pivot is between the 1st and 2nd axle. The 3rd axle is actually fake. It’s one of the best models I have to drive, actually. Here somewhere at 1:30 minutes you can see the Yellow version (same bogies) running and pulling a 10-meter-long train without any issue, I use mostly R104 and above, but this model can turn on R40 curves and switches and can even "drift" :P Regarding the grills, they are both grills and “ladder”-style, and they are only on one side of the locomotive; they are not symmetrical. (Only found Orange Bluprint) And, Yes the Orange is the better one, I don't like this full black Portuguese Medway livery IRL, but I gave it a chance on Lego Form.

Vliebricker Posted yesterday at 12:05 PM Posted yesterday at 12:05 PM Nice work, Sérgio, beautiful engine and great on the details. As it is quite heavy, can it still move with a load of wagons? Quote

I have a video with the same model (different colors) pulling 10-meter-long (from 1:30min) Quote
Vliebricker Posted yesterday at 12:26 PM Posted yesterday at 12:26 PM Wow, nice to see such a long 🚂🚂 moving! 👍 Quote
LL1982 Posted yesterday at 02:21 PM Posted yesterday at 02:21 PM That is a great shot of them all lined up. I am gonna have a good look on the llmtc ones next event. I hope to make one someday, but then more 7 or 6 wide to match my tight r40 curves. Great to see you actually use pf train motors and then a powerless third wheel. Or do you mean fake as in not a wheel at all? Or a blind wheel? Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted yesterday at 05:13 PM Posted yesterday at 05:13 PM Wow the video is a feast for the eyes ...not to mention this photo! ! Quote

Shiva Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Fantastic videos and photos from the train meetings. Quote
LL1982 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago @Sérgio oh that is a nice idea. I may 'borrow' that some day. Quote
