Plastic_Goth Posted January 28, 2019 (edited) Hi, These are some models I designed last year but haven't shared here, and until today hadn't made renders of in the renderer included in the new Studio program from Bricklink. So here we are. The cabins and frames are 7 studs wide per my standard of doing things. The F unit can house a full motorization suite up to and including a Power Functions 1 IR receiver. The hump at the rear of the roof shows where I've placed the receiver. However, neither model here as rendered includes motorized trucks.

Unfinished_Projects Posted January 28, 2019 Those look great! I too am a big fan of studio 2.0 built in rendering, it works great! Unfinished_Projects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did try to approximate, if not replicate, a CSX livery on the switcher, and I guess I was successful if I lead you to think such. Here's some elevation views and a dissection of the nose, for those that are curious: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icemorons Posted February 2, 2019 Nice job on the nose of the F unit. I especially like how you were able to get the windshield angles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a space and expense thing. Six wide would be nice, but given that LEGO track gauge is six wide itself it's not so aesthetically viable for me. Also, I don't see myself giving up the 40 radius curves, and narrower trains also means shorter train cars that don't over hang as much when going 'round.

zephyr1934 Posted February 7, 2019 I like the F3 style grills on the black widow, I'm not sure I've seen someone attempt those in lego before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
