LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Hello everybody, today I want to show my replica of this wonderful model originally created by Asper The thing that strikes me most about this locomotive is the size of the wheels and its particular running gear with connecting rod. I'm a bit disappointed that having chosen a black connecting rod because this is not particularly visible. The locomotive as my usual is equipped with front and rear LED lights. The locomotive is useful for sorting services on secondary tracks. Enjoy the show! Edited July 3, 2022 by LEGO Train 12 Volts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holodoc Posted July 3, 2022 Wonderful train, I love those small shunter engines! What wonderful things can be done in 8-wide trains! I love the roller skates you used for handle on the door. EDIT: I just checked the original topic. It's from Asper. Would you mind and tell somthing about the extra wires and battery you used? And maybe point out what you made differently from Asper?

And maybe point out what you made differently from Asper? First of all thanks for the compliments! The cables you see inside the cabin are the extra connections that are used to power the front and rear light, as you can see in one picture under the roof there is a manual switch and a small 12volt battery in the 23A format (or MN21) . I think my locomotive is externally identical, it certainly has n. 4 extra clips to better fix the front handrails (bar 1 x 4), internally the structure to hold the front windows and the roof is very sturdy and I don't think it can be the same as the original one.

Asper Posted July 4, 2022 Great! What did you use for the blind shaft wheel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello @Asper ...I've used 2x blind shaft wheel size M wide design in black color (code: BRADB) and I polished the rear so it wouldn't interfere with the red flanged wheel. Going back I would use 2x blind shaft wheel size M narrow design (code: BRADS) in red color for better visibility Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bogieman Posted July 5, 2022 Neat little locomotive, well done! I note one end has what in the N. America are called ditch lights or crossing lights, the pair of lights at the underframe level. How are they used on the prototype; on when the loco is moving as here? Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XG BC Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) they are used as normal headlights. on the front all three lights are lit (two bottom ones and the top one) on the back the lights are red but only the bottom two are lit. for more info search "Dreilicht-Spitzensignal". why it doesnt have the rear lights i dont know. they must have been forgotten because the mounts for them are there.

Thanks @XG BC I would not have been able to answer better NOTE: the lights at the bottom of my model are not illuminated because I would have defaced the structure with cables and LEDs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
