viracocha Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) Xmas Steam Train by Dmitriy and Anna, on Flickr Metropolitan Street Journal Announcement The week before Christmas our correspondent Helena Kuznetsova has visited N town. According to the old tradition the best spruce is being chosen there and sent to the Metropoly to decorate the main square every year. Specially grown tree was carefully packed and loaded to the flatcar. The mayor Mr. Lebedyansky has personally observed the loading process. As the locomotive the L class 2-10-0 freight steam locomotive was selected. It is the best steam train using modern innovations as boxpok-type wheels and steam dryer pipe covered with casing. Very soon the valuable cargo will be on its way to the Metropoly with the highest speed of 53mph.

Capparezza Posted December 20, 2016 Gorgeous! The tender could use some greebling, otherwise it looks very fine. Is the steamer motorized? Or is this just for display? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Capparezza! The point is that prototype tender is very flat so I couldn't add more details. The steamer is not motorized but it easily could be done. I am planning to do so and make videos. The problem is that the locomotive will not pass the regular LEGO turns as it very long. 7 hours ago, carebear said: Love this, - love the headwear for the 2 figures Great Work!!! Carebear, glad that you noticed! The lack of women's hats made me to invent something new! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Withacee Posted December 20, 2016 That locomotive is awesome! Amazing that you could stay so true to the original using LEGO parts. Clever work with the tubes in the front. Keep it up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spoiler I had a dream to build it for a long time and now all the puzzle pieces came together: I've got drawings and necessary parts and wonderful contest came in time. So it can be said that it is a model of steam train type "Л" in minifigure scale. Of course I had to sacrifice some technical details to save the functionality.
