[WIP] EMD FL9 from Lego Train Projects book

[bondp99]

Bought the Lego Train Projects book lately and startet to build the EMD FL9 locomotive.

Made some pictures from the current status. Missing some minor detail pieces.

 

I also made some changes to the front to some smother look.

Sadly the roof can't easily be removed so I need to made some further changes and the whole build is not suited for a PU motor.

Overall I like the color scheme of the locomotive .

@bondp99 Looks like you should build a 2nd unit......?

Hopefully, with so many curved pieces being added to the Lego range in recent years, they might consider corner slopes one day, would any other piece transform train construction more?

Very nice locomotive ...I like how the orange and white pieces blend harmoniously!

There are a few already, including some wedges and this new piece,

But more are needed
