Frank STENGEL Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Here is my 8-wide version of the BR64. I modelled it after the actual lok numbered: 064-019-3. Hence no hole in the water tank above the first driver. This helped a lot: the 9V battery is hidden at that place... I'll post the link to the brickshel folder once it is made public. I will also provide an ldr file for a model almost like the one I present (I made many alterations while building it) Edited February 22, 2012 by Frank STENGEL Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Very interesting customization on those piston rods! Quote
Frank STENGEL Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Being a noob, I can't post with links yet... Anyway, I have a gallery on Brickshelf with the loc. Search for user fstengel... Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 I've seen the inner 9 volts battery and the power button, I use the same system with my locomotives Quote

Asper Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Hi Frank, I just looked at your pictures on brickshelf. This is a beautiful engine. Quote
garethjellis Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Hey Stengel, how does the flanged wheel spacing on your GREAT BR64 like standard lego curves and switches? Quote
Frank STENGEL Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 I haven't found any problems with the spacing. I had to slightly modify the front and back trucks to prevent them from jumping track. Quote
garethjellis Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 is there any friction cause by the flanges? Quote
Frank STENGEL Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 Good question. There is some friction due to the flanges, therefore causing a slowdown in curves. Quote
garethjellis Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Thank you, this helps me as I am just finishing a steamer and wanted to make sure i wasn't going to use bad spacing. thanks for your help. Quote
