Nice job, MiC.

Always tricky dealing with a curved front, I think you've done well. You've picked up plenty of details from the reference photos but I take it this loco has a little trouble with curves.

Lot's of interesting SNOT work and i'm impressed you managed to cram the old style battery box in so cleanly.

:classic: :classic:

That's a really good Train,

Its a nice solid colour (you can't go wrong with red for trains) I like how you've added the stripe detail to it out of the photo, and I also like the work on the bogies and the use of SNOT on the front of it too.

Wow!

That is wonderful! Congratulations on the detailing ... your model matches the original astoundingly well!

One question: How do the 3 axle bogies negotiate curves? It looks like they are pretty much "fixed" or is there any hidden trick? Would love to learn more!

Regards and keep up the good work,

Thorsten

In fact,the locomotive can't negotiate curves,but the power of the locomotive is large,so it can pass the curves in the same speed.

but the power may be decrease.

Thanks
