Alan Guerzoni Posted March 27 Posted March 27 (edited) Hi, The V200, built by Krauss-Maffei in the 1950s, was the flagship diesel locomotive of the German railways during post-war reconstruction. When they were withdrawn from service, in the 80s, many ended up in Italy, on the non-electrified sections of the so-called minor railways: I built chassis 051 in red/white/black classic livery, mostly because I already had all bricks in the right colors. I printed custom stickers on vinyl to finish it: It's motorized with 2 Power function 9V motors (one inverted), IR controller and 6 lithium batteries I created also 2 passenger wagon, previously owned by Swiss rails, then owned By Ferrovia Suzzara-Ferrara in 80s: They're large 6 studs: Hope you like it!

Toastie Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Hi Alan, firstly, welcome to the club So nice that you have joined EB! Secondly, so we have another Italian LEGO master builder. What's going on here? I know some here, and one individual personally, as well as his wonderful family - we spent ever remembered time together. Third: For me, the V200 (later 220) is the most beautiful diesel locomotive, I have ever seen. She looks like an elegant, powerful Lady. The (original) colors and the decorations are breathtaking (only to me of course). And finally: You captured/modeled this beautiful engine so nicely using "bricks", which per se sounds impossible. You made it happen. Thank you so much for sharing! Best regards Thorsten Quote
idlemarvel Posted March 27 Posted March 27 I echo what @Toastie said. Very nice models capturing the character of the iconic V200. Nice use of stickers on the nose of the V200. The doors on the passenger cars are very good too. Thanks for sharing. Quote
Alan Guerzoni Posted March 27 Author Posted March 27 (edited) Thanks @Toastie and @idlemarvel I'm really a V200 lover since my childness, although classic V200 paint scheme here was tan and dark blue: I'm surely not a master bulder.. I'm just a Lego exibithor since one year, Joining Brickpatici community in Italy. Next step: condivinding with you some videos of my V200 Buonanotte! Alan Edited March 27 by Alan Guerzoni Quote

XG BC Posted March 28 Posted March 28 here is a classic video about what to do if your v200 catches fire by the deutsche bundesbahn (most of the principles are a product of its time and not done this way today of course) Quote

But back on topic, you've done a great job recreating the look and feel of these vintage trains. Only one suggestion, could you make the doors on the passenger car one stud wider? Quote
