Pdaitabird Posted August 7, 2019 I'd like to present my latest locomotive, loosely based on various British 0-6-0 goods engines. This MOC is a first for me in several ways...it's the first locomotive for which I've attempted to print decals, and the first I've built using BBB wheels. I'd like to thank @ScotNick for graciously granting me permission to use his magnifying glass technique for the front cab windows. Lord Dudley is named after a 15th century politician and its number is an homage to the USS Voyager (NCC-74656). Lord-Dudley-1 by the chestertonian, on Flickr Lord-Dudley-2 by the chestertonian, on Flickr The 3-axle tender holds a 9V motor (the third axle swivels to go around curves) and features the classic BR "lion-on-a-unicycle." I don't have a proper label maker, so I printed out the decal on regular paper and covered it with a slightly larger piece of adhesive laminating sheet. This leaves enough overhang of the adhesive layer to stick to the sides of the tender. Note that only the logo and the red lining are printed; the white lining is brick-built. Lord-Dudley-3 by the chestertonian, on Flickr The tender holds a battery box to power the locomotive lights. The batteries are accessible by removing the coal.

CaL Posted August 7, 2019 Hi, a very nice build! If you are looking for more british prototypes I can recommend you the YouTube Channel of Chris Eden-Green. The guys looks like beeing stuck in the 1970ies but makes very informative Videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChristheXelent KR CaL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, the boiler is based on one of the many techniques in this topic. I may be wrong, but I think @SavaTheAggie first developed what has now become the standard for cheese slope boilers.

Roadmonkeytj Posted August 7, 2019 Besides the battery my favorite part is the round windows with the magnifying glass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 7, 2019 Sleek design and interesting solution for the front windows of the locomotive Just one question: why is there a leg in the grass? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I mentioned, the front window design belongs to @ScotNick. I would highly recommend checking out his Flickr page for inspiration. 18 minutes ago, LEGO Train 12 Volts said: Sleek design and interesting solution for the front windows of the locomotive Just one question: why is there a leg in the grass? That'll teach 'em to hire non-union platelayers! (It's actually supposed to be part of the rock.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The local Lego store had an entire PAB bin full of lbg inverted curved slopes. My initial idea was to use them for a coach roof, if I could figure out how to attach them upside-down. Well, I couldn't. So I just built the entire coach body upside-down instead! Lastly, here's a short clip of Lord Dudley running through the station.

Pdaitabird Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Sorry to bump such an old topic, but I've completely redesigned Lord Dudley. Things I've changed from the original model: -Frame is now 7-wide to allow splashers to cover wheel flanges -Boiler now uses 4x4 round bricks and plates, with cheese slopes retained for the smokebox -Tender is lower with a grill tile railing -Wheelbase is longer for less overhang on curves. It's still something of a work in progress....the locomotive is unlit for now as I will have to rework the lights and battery box to fit in a tighter space.Thanks for looking - comments and criticism welcome!
