Selander Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, This is a MOC I recently built which is inspired by a mix of Swedish electric locomotives but with typical German or Swiss color scheme. It is not motorized on pictures. Some new elements from Mini Cooper have been used in front&rear end which allows a smooth transission from 8w to 7w in the top front section. Feel free to comment.

dr_spock Posted December 22, 2014 Cool. Looks like you have Swiss RE 4/4 in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garethjellis Posted December 22, 2014 I like the work on the roof with the power lines and panto-graphs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefaneris Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) This locomotive looks very nice with this paint scheme. With minor changes you would have a great model of a Re 4/4 I of the SBB.

3797 Posted December 22, 2014 Love it. Very good job. There's only one thing I would try to change. According to Stefaneris' picture, it could use a little more detail on the sides. Maybe with only the tile or one plate and a tile between the modified bricks. The bricks are a bit pricy, but I think it would be worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selander Posted December 23, 2014 Thanks for your comments, yes there are already some Re 4/4 similarities and the design could be updated to be a closer replica. For the moment it is a mix of influences. @3797: Also thanks for your side update proposal, which would need a bigger redesign since you don't respect the current height of my model. Would be easier to put in two layers of 2877 with studs up. In fact I tried that during my experimental phase, but choose to stay with the smooth sides. I'll reconsider it though.
