Hello everyone,
today I would like to show my second locomotive built from Lego (the BR E18 047 was my 3rd) with 7 contemporary apron cars. The locomotive is a special steam locomotive: it is the fastest German steam locomotive. The sister locomotive BR05-002 holds the official speed record for German steam locomotives (200.4 km / h, 1936). But I chose the BR05-001 because this locomotive can still be viewed in the Nuremberg Transport Museum.
For my Lego version, it quickly became clear: a steam locomotive chassis and streamlined cladding are not possible in 8w. And since you can't see the wheels anyway, I used normal Lego train motors for PowerUP and normal Lego train wheels. Since the BR05-001 is a express train locomotive and I also want to pull an entire train quickly, I spend 3 train motors and 3 PowerUP HUBs for the locomotive. Power full ... This left also enough connections for the lighting.
BR05-001:
- 1468 Lego parts, no custom parts, no clue
- some 6er axis cut to 5,5 axis (for R40 curves).
- Decals and the yellow stripe: self made
- 3 PowerUP Hubs, connected to one PowerUP handheld
- 3 PowerUP Train motors
- 3 PowerUP LEDs
Three working front lights:
working rear lights:
Fire (difficult to see in the sun ;-) ):
Open roof for access to the HUBs:
underside view, the blue brick is no intention...
But a locomotive without coaches is not a train...
Luggage cart:
- 1203 Lego parts, no cutting, gluing and so one
- decals selfmade, "Deutsche Reichsbahn"-Logo printed by "Steindrucker"
two first class coaches:
- 1182 Lego parts, no cutting, gluing and so one
- decals selfmade, "Deutsche Reichsbahn"-Logo and class-numbers printed by "Steindrucker"
all coaches are equipped with boggies from type "Görlitz III leicht":
For place minifigs inside: all passengers coaches have a removable roof:
my favorite: the "Mitropa" restaurant waggon:
1259 Lego parts, no cutting, gluing and so one
- decals selfmade, "Speisewagen" and "Mitropa" printed by "Steindrucker"
kitchen inside:
two second class coaches:
- 1134 Lego parts, no cutting, gluing and so one
- decals selfmade, "Deutsche Reichsbahn"-Logo and class-numbers printed by "Steindrucker"
last but not least:
the first and second class final car:
- 1198 Lego parts, no cutting, gluing and so one
- decals selfmade, "Deutsche Reichsbahn"-Logo and class-numbers printed by "Steindrucker"
- light self-made
working lights:
the lights can turn off/on at the underside (black 2x AAA batteriebox):
overview:
The complete train is nearly 3,5 meters long and I don´t have a big table for this...
I hope you like the train as much as I do...
In 2019 I was allowed to drive this train at two exhibitions in Germany:
2019 Bricking Bavaria Fürth: Video shows a collections of trains from the train layout Bricking Bavaria 2019.
2019 Deutsches Dampflok Museum / German steam locomotive museum "Tag der Modellbahn":
