Innion Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 This is absolutely stunning and beautiful! I am a lego train fan from Croatia and was wondering is it possible you would be able to create some sort of instructions for this beauty? I would never use that train for commercial purposes but for my own collection and admiration! Once again she is a beaut! Quote
Svad Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 Great work, it looks beutiful. As others said, you did a great job with front and rear curves! It's just sad that there's no room for interior details. Quote
helos Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 Dear Lego train fellows, once again thank you all very very very much for your comments! Wow, that's what I call a wonderful, brilliant and detailed replica of a real-life engine! I also love your photoshop work! Looks like an official LEGO set. ... hope the Mom won't get angry for that harmless pc trick. I love the suggestion of those box images since I was young. It seems to be quite heavy since it has two motors on it, or maybe you just want it to pull lots waggons. Well it's quite heavy. Two motors are needed to move the loco and coaches not only for simmetry aestetic reasons. The loco weight is also good for motors for producing a proper friction on rails no need for wight block I guess, there are so many parts inside to create that nice curves! Looks very nice, I only prefer 6 wide trains better, but this 8-one is really stunning! I would point out that my model is 7 wide. I usually build in 7wide because I think it is the best compromise between the gauge and the radius of the curves. Moreover the 7 studs train can be flanked by the 6 studs Lego official train without clash eachother due to slight difference in size This is absolutely stunning and beautiful! I am a lego train fan from Croatia and was wondering is it possible you would be able to create some sort of instructions for this beauty? I would never use that train for commercial purposes but for my own collection and admiration! Once again she is a beaut! Unfortunately my spare time is very little and discontinuos. I tried MLcad some years ago but I can't make both Lego models and Lego projects. Cad programs require application, experience, upgrade. I would be happy to share the instructions but how can I make them? I posted some photos for showing the key assemblies. I examined all the e103 Lego model shared on the web before building mine. I think it is not very difficult to rebuilt a model when you have a good images for taking cue. You can see the proportions and the sizes, you can compare the ideas, you have the measures and the building solutions. At the end you can even improve the model, one of the most intriguing aspect of Lego world. You are a Lego builder so do not hesitate! Take those Lego pieces and start your own reproduction. ;-) Quote
JopieK Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 7 wide is indeed a good compromise. Original LEGO Trains often also are wider than six of course when one includes railings etc. Quote
kevin8 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Grande Helos! As usual another bungh of great building technics! Quote
