[MOC] Alfa Pendular CP4000

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone!

My new train, the "Alfa Pendular"
Build on Stud.io, it took me more than 50 hours, no blueprints, just photos of the real one as reference, almost 6000 parts, 4 L motors, I put some room and flexible liftarms inside to tilt on curves, but this is a virtual model, so I can not tested the tilt function.

I don´t know when I can build this 2,80 meters long train with real bricks.51372342276_3b90a487fd_b.jpg51371372240_33f63d1cd9_b.jpg51371093039_44579ed310_b.jpg51370359566_11b7254b08_b.jpg51370588688_38b98f62de_b.jpg51371093054_da95ed73a6_b.jpg51370411688_74993df10e_b.jpg51210501555_b7031dfa2e_b.jpg

Somehow missed this two weeks ago. That's an amazing looking train! Very clever use of those curved corner pieces.

I hope you'll get to build it in the flesh/ brick some day.

How do you submit such high quality images? I tried to submit a topic on this website and it said the maximum file size was 0.01MB. Should I submit a JPEG instead of a PNG?

You don’t. You submit them to a photo-sharing site like Flickr and then embed them here as a link.

Which is a terrible idea because in the long run, they will become unavailable, as already happens with mocpages images and ldds :(

As a reader yes, it is unfortunate, but could you imagine how expensive it would be to run EB if they also had to host their own image sharing (plus video, plus suites of tools, etc)
