[MOC] NSB Type 49 - "Dovregubben" Norwegian Steam-Locomotive - Bricks-on-Rails

[Bricks-on-Rails]

Good evening everyone,

Today I would like to present another "international" model. This is the "NSB Type 49 - Dovregubben" of the Norwegian State Railway. It was built between 1935 and 1941 and was mainly used on the "Dovre-Railway", that´s the reason why the locomotive is also called "Dovregubben".

The model consists of approx. 1020 individual parts, is 58 studs long and approx. 10 studs wide. It can be driven by two M-engines, one above the other in the boiler. The IR receiver is located in the cab and the battery box in the Vanderbilt tender.

This model was developed from a former customer request and was a special challenge, since there are unfortunately only very few meaningful photographs or pictures in the Internet to find. Usually only black and white. Therefore we mainly used photos of a H0 model. 

Praise and criticism are very welcome.
Kind regards Martin

A nice project with an impressive prototype! A few locomotives of this class were built by Krupp in Germany and tested by Reichsbahn officials before delivery; they are said to have been among the best steam locomotives that the "Lokomotiv-Versuchsamt" (locomotive testing department) had ever examined.

Is there a chance to see this beauty in real bricks?

Interesting article. I have sold a large part of my LEGO collection and will probably have to upgrade here again. I also don't know if it will be this locomotive or another one.

With kind regards
