Eki1210 Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone. I´d like to present you my version of a DB Class 111. DB Baureihe 111 by Henrik S, auf Flickr A view of the front. I used bley frames for the windows, i think it fits well and looks very much like the prototype. I´m not quite sure if it would look better if the windows were rotated to their sides. It would certainly need a lot of tinkering and a bigger change to the front-section of the loco. DB Baureihe 111 by Henrik S, auf Flickr A closer look at the Pantograph. I´m quite satisfied with how they came out . DB Baureihe 111 - Pantograph by Henrik S, auf Flickr Please feel free to tell me your opinions and offer critique where you see fit. Best regards and thanks for stopping by! Reference picture Edited May 15, 2020 by Eki1210 Reference picture added Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ts__ Posted May 13, 2020 Nice for the first view. Second view: - Why you use black parts for the pantograph? Part 48729 exist in red and i used this for my pantographs. I think, also the 4l bar exist as red part or hose. - the front windows in reality are wider than high, maybe you should try turn the window 90° degrees. Ok, is difficult in 6w. Only a idea and the same like your suggenstion, Overall really good. Thomas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zephyr1934 Posted May 14, 2020 A good looking train MOC and I like the color scheme. It would be neat to see a reference photo of the prototype to see how you captured its essence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 14, 2020 Great use of the clips and nice classic german locomotive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selander Posted May 15, 2020 Nice and clean design, you have done a great job in this limited scale (6wide). Front windows should be wider...and for me the logic improvement would be to build an 8-wide version, keeping most of your design but with two extra studs be able to build the front (incl windows) more accuretely.

Feuer Zug Posted May 15, 2020 Nice work. It looks really good compared to the actual locomotive. I've only seen them in the current DB red though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, i think you are right, i just have to come up with a clever solution to get it done. Thank you for the suggestions, i appreciate them.

Going the 7/8 wide route would enable me to cram more detail in the models and get them closer to the prototype. Somehow i´m nostalgic for the 6 wide scale, although i know i won´t be able to build masterpieces like regularly shown here. I like how the moc´s fit in with the official sets that way. Might go the 7 wide way, this seems like a good compromise between both worlds i think. 4 hours ago, Feuer Zug said: Nice work. It looks really good compared to the actual locomotive.

Pdaitabird Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Nice detailing all around, especially the pantograph! The color scheme looks great. Edited May 15, 2020 by Pdaitabird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, for this trains I would prefer a train buffer beam with a plow. I know the have no plow in real, but the lego version looks more like the original on the european trains.

Eki1210 Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) So, after like a million years i have updated my BR 111. I like it better this way, i feel like it fits well with the other 9V locos, i resolved the issue with the colorful pantographs and found a better-looking solution for the front (IMO).

Paperinik77pk Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Excellent locomotive, very nice colors and feeling!!! I lost the first version, but I can put my thumbs up now!!! Pantographs are now more realistic and the two cabins more refined and elegant. Ciao! Davide Edited March 20, 2021 by Paperinik77pk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duq Posted March 20, 2021 It's a nice 6W City interpretation of a BR111. Proportions are a bit off for a scale model but that doesn't matter. If I can make one more suggestion for you pantograph, if you put a 1x1 tile with clip on the ski's then you get them a bit closer to the bar. That'll probably look better than the way they're sitting on stilts now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a good idea, i´ll try if this works out okay, because the ski parts are overlapping and i don´t know if it´ll look okay, Thanks for the suggestion tho! @Paperinik77pk Thank you very much! @Feuer Zug Thank you!
