Haddock51 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) These are the first pictures of the latest contribution to my train collection: a Swiss IC Train with an Re 460 locomotive (partially based on an idea by @Stefaneris). In addition to the locomotive, the train consists of five 1st class coaches whereof one is a panorama coach. The train has a total lenghth of 2.3 m and is equipped with four 9V engines. Quite fascinating to watch this unit climb all the way up to the Swiss mountains and all the way back to Knivsta Station - in two minutes! Goose bumps - and a touch of homesickness ...

*thomas* Posted March 7, 2018 I think I might steal the design from your coaches, they look very much like the prototype. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted March 7, 2018 Oh, nice! The locomotive and cars look really great. A big sticker though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefaneris Posted March 7, 2018 They look great. I think you did a good job on the proportions with the cars over 46 studs long. For the Re 460 you could try using the 2x2x2/3 round slope for the front to make it rounder or the 2x1 cheese slope to substitute the 1x1. The pantographs are well placed and hidden if looked from the side, just as on the real one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tested several alternatives. This is probably the best alternative to make the front look rounder: Edited March 12, 2018 by Haddock51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stefaneris Posted March 14, 2018 I think the front does indeed look rounder, I know it's hard to make round shapes out of not-so-round-bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capparezza Posted March 19, 2018 Amazing work. This train looks beautiful and very true to the real one (have been lucky to be a passenger on one of these a few years ago!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
