BC01pool Posted September 24, 2021 Hello everyone,today I want to share my new MOC with your. "Dongfeng" diesel locomotive is a diesel locomotive produced in China from 1958 to 1972. (The appearance of Dongfeng 3 diesel locomotive is consistent with that of Dongfeng, and the production year is 1972-1974) The Chinese pronunciation of "Dongfeng" is " 东 风 ", which means the wind in the East. It means that the east wind brings hope and vitality to the country and people. Today, the diesel locomotives have all been retired, and some locomotives have entered museums and parks for display. (These pictures come from the Internet.) Next is my work display. This picture was taken in my garden. The slope of the front is what I'm proud of. The back carriage are also my MOC. I chose the most conventional green for the locomotive body, because this green can show different depths in different light environments, which is very interesting. The sticker is designed by myself and uses ordinary paper. This is my favorite photo, which can highlight the characteristics of the locomotive.There are two lights on the front of the locomotive. On the side of the locomotive, I used a lot of "32028" to depict the body, making the work more vivid. The back of the locomotive is provided with number and allocation place. The roof can be easily removed.The power uses the Bluetooth battery box of mouldking and two XL motors of LEGO. There is no problem with the locomotive running. I am very satisfied with the traction.I can use my mobile phone to remotely control the locomotive. The diesel engine in the middle is movable, and a rod is connected to the motor. In July this year, I attended a Bricks lovers' Party in Guangzhou. This is a group photo of my locomotive and other MOCER s' locomotive. I'm the head of the train area for this party,I took a lot of photos for this party. If you are interested, I will open another new topic to show you the photos. Finally, thank you for watching.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 24, 2021 Beautiful locomotive! I always like to see the three-axle configurations and the solutions used for the motion transmission! Great job with the stickers too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ivanlan9 Posted September 25, 2021 Sweet! That's a difficult prototype, very challenging indeed. I think the nose is more successful than most solutions for curved front ends. Metta, Ivan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asper Posted September 26, 2021 Great model, very realistic! It has many clever details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGOTrainBuilderSG Posted September 26, 2021 Fantastic details both on the outside and inside. The locomotive must be really powerful with two massive motors powering each bogie. Any videos of the locomotive running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuer Zug Posted September 27, 2021 Great work. I like the use of the plates with rails for the sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexxInc Posted October 24, 2021 It looks really nice. One question though, The battery box and XL motors seem to be off-brand because I do not see a receiver and there is also four connection points. Where can I get a hold of this? As a builder, authentic LEGO brand can sometimes be quite the penny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a builder, authentic LEGO brand can sometimes be quite the penny. To be quite honest, I don't see any Lego logos on any of the bricks that are visible. It's quite possible the motors that were mentioned in the first post are the only Lego parts on the MOC. (I could be wrong though!) EDIT: Nope, they aren't Lego either, upon closer inspection.

AlexxInc Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) @Murdoch17 I did notice that the pieces were not LEGO, but the creator of this lives in China and I believe that there are less stores available there. Chains such as MouldKing and other leading brands exist there. I have no hate towards those companies, but I like to use LEGO parts as much as possible. Exceptions for me include motor elements, parts not available in specific color, expensive train elements, custom elements, etc. What I am trying to say is that it is okay to use what is available and I give props to BC01POOL if that makes sense. @BC01pool Those other trains in the back ground of one of the images look nice too, such as the QJ locomotive!
