kost u grlu Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) This is my third electric locomotive and my second Austrian locomotive. It has PF motor and reciever inside the cabin..but there was no room for battery box, so I will place it inside the box car.. Picture of prototype (but an HO model ) http://www.joshua-homepage.nl/Europemodels/63830-1024.jpg Austrian Class 1161 by kost u grlu, on Flickr Track and ballast are made by Matija Grguric and was a part of City diorama of the KockiceLUG in the last exhibition!

Fuzzylegobricks Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 wow wow wow wow! I LOVE the turning capibility you added to this model. Quote
AussieJimbo Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) What a nice little locomotive. You've done a good job replicating the details from your reference pic. Great work. :classic: Edited February 1, 2011 by AussieJimbo Quote
LegoSjaak Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Nice locomotive... I like Austria as well, went skiing there for 12 times and got there by train a few times! Reminds me of those bumpy tracks and long tunnels, straight through the mountains!!! Where did you get thos red antenna's, (along the wheelsets)never seen those before.....!! Nice work, or, as the 'Österreicher' say: Sie haben gute Arbeit geleistet!! Greetz, LegoSjaak Quote
marsupilami Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Nice locomotive, I love the detail and the way you used 'old' parts like the windows. Quote

Austria is a beautiful country..I was there few times..I live nearby, in Croatia Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Excellent electric loco you have there 'kost u grlu', though in the first shot the train must either running on batteries or using mutual inductive coupling to power the train - it's not touching the wire ! Great work and Brick On 'kost u grlu' ! Quote
Legoless Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I do like that- interesting prototype by British standards as we've never had any electric loco here that looks anything like that (although there are a few obsolete diesels). Nice build. I notice the PF lead coming out of the back- I wonder if it would be possible to power a pf loco of that size by using an internal PP3 9v battery (or is the battery box interlinked with the IR controller)? Obviously, if you were able to go down that route, it wouldn't run very long or with many carriages with such a small battery! Quote
Duq Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Excellent! That's a great model you've got there. I love the detailing. Just a pity you couldn't squeeze a battery box in. This would make a great switcher to play around on a layout. Quote

Obviously, if you were able to go down that route, it wouldn't run very long or with many carriages with such a small battery! That was my thoughts too...9V battery has a very small capacity. And this loco will operating in train diorama on future exhibitions of my LUG, so it would be very annoying to changing the battery every now and then.. Just a pity you couldn't squeeze a battery box in. This would make a great switcher to play around on a layout. I agree with you.. But, I can always put a 9V motor on it, and sacrifice the overall look.. Thank you all for your comments! Quote
