LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted August 19, 2021 Hello everyone, after seeing the model made by @dtomsen of the Litra MK in 7 studs wide: The Danish State Railways (DSB) shunter Litra MK I wanted to make my replica with the red livery of the German railways. The unit is equipped with front and rear lights and is powered by a single 3,7 volt lithium rechargeable battery AAA, combined with a voltage regulator. The shunting locomotive is strong enough to move an entire convoy like a double Horizon Express (6 car configuration). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zephyr1934 Posted August 19, 2021 Another great MOC LT12V! At first glance it looks boxy and square, but that is totally accurate to the prototype (it's as if they designed the real thing to be realized in lego). You did a great job squeezing in all of the electronics while also adding detailing that makes such a small model pop. Now I can't help but noticing but your output of MOCs has slowed in the past few months, are you working on something big? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColletArrow Posted August 20, 2021 Well isn't this just a beautiful clean yet detailed shunter! I appreciate the amount of SNOT-work used to achieve the completely stud-less bonnet, and your stickers and lights are the perfect finishing touches. Excellent work!

Feuer Zug Posted August 20, 2021 Stunning work. Small, fully functional, and it looks great too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted August 20, 2021 (On vacation, he is. Lots of thoughts and inspirations he may have ...) Nice one, Emanuele! As - well - usual. It appears as if one gets used to seeing something special from you - just to - every time - suck in air - and then thinking: Again. What a nice MOC you created! I love the moment of needing to suck in air when clicking on a new thread you posted here. It is the "this will be good" feeling - but it is always: better than expected come-out.

We need a moment of pause to be able to rearrange the ideas and also have the right inspiration to have vision of new projects... the holidays are an excellent alchemy in this sense!
