A pair of Unstoppable train MOCs - diesel locomotives 777 and 1206 from the 2010 film 'Unstoppable'

[Murdoch17]

These two diesel locomotives of the fictional Allegheny and West Virginia Railroad (AWVR) are the star engines of the 16-year old 20th Century Fox film 'Unstoppable' which is itself loosely based on a real event from 2001.

On the left, we have 777 (also known as 'Triple 7') which is the lead unit of the runaway train everyone is trying to stop in the film. The other engine is 1206, the 'hero' locomotive driven by both Denzel Washington and Chris Pine's respective characters in their effort to stop 777's runaway train. I'm' not going to get into the issues of the film and it's lack of realism in certain areas. *cough cough 'Stanton curve' climax sequence* I'm just here for the LEGO MOCs. Speaking of which, here's the breakdown on what's what with these MOC's, but please note - they aren't meant to be hyper-accurate models, but more CITY play-scale versions of their film counterparts. Both models are unpowered as well.

Triple 7 is based on 2026 LEGO set 60508 (Police Train Heist). Being a brand new LEGO set it uses a lot of new parts not available in my last-updated-in-2019 LDD program, so please bear with me on the missing parts! I updated the livery to match 777 as much as possible, though the windscreen should really be red - but there is zero chance of that happening due to it's absurd price!

In comparison to 777 and it's straightforward heritage, 1206 is a real hodge-podge of ideas and sets. First there is the color scheme of 2014 set 60052 (Cargo Train), the cab from 2004 set 10133 (BNSF locomotive), bits of 2011 set 10219 (Maersk Train) and the same bogies from 60508 as used on Triple 7. This loco is mostly complete, just missing a few prints and four bracket parts for the ditch lights.
