sed6 Posted March 16, 2019 This is definitely one of my simpler builds. It's nothing more than a reskin of the 60052. I chose the CSX scheme primarily because of the prevalence of blue and the excellent sticker set from The Sticky Brick for $8. This is my first re-skin attempt and it feels a little like cheating after the dozens and dozens of hours that went into my BNSF and my 4-4-0. That said, my goal wasn't something original. Rather I wanted badly to improve the toy scale looks of the original loco. In all it about 150 parts and ran about $15 including new side panels. Here's a link to the file on bricksafe if you want to build, modify or inspect my work. Hope you like! My Bricksafe Files Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadmonkeytj Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Ohhhh I like! Totally not cheating... Decals on Lego = model lol plus CSX is a really simple livery I'm surprised we don't see more of it... Although it seems I've seen it much more this year then past years. Thanks for the sticker link! Edit: I find it odd that his real life reference photos are both wrecks lol but the stickers look great! Edited March 16, 2019 by Roadmonkeytj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sed6 Posted March 17, 2019 I found that funny too! I also used his stickers on my BNSF Loco and was happy both times. I like this loco so much I might build an unpowered dummy version to pull behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 17, 2019 Much more beautiful than the original, the Lego should have produced it like this: - yellow trainbase- no doors but side windows (yours are great!) - most detailed main body ...and the CSX logo is the icing on the cake! GREAT MOC (this is not just a MOD ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted March 21, 2019 Good looking mod. You've captured the essence of the SD40 while making minimal changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
