Darkkostas25 Posted October 1, 2022 (edited) It all started as a challenge to make PRR GG1. One of my favourite engines from PRR(and they got lots of Beautes) While making GG1 and making some modules and references I choose to make an R1 too coz it's similar by design (maybe P5a...)https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=366514 PRR Class GG1 Update:-New colour schema (main black and yellow for lines) -New narrower front part -some changes in the base -if bricklink disables the download link try to do the instruction and post on Rebricble (or other variants if will be on replies) https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=427159 Original: PRR Class DD2 Update: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=427163 Original: PRR Class P5a Update:https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=427162 Original: PRR Class R1 Update:https://www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/design.page?idModel=427161 Original: ======================================== Edited April 11, 2023 by Darkkostas25 Add new versions and links but may be not final or last edit (sorry) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) These both look very nice and very sleek! I also don't think I've ever seen anyone do an R1 before, so kudos to you on being the first! It's kind of disappointing the real R1 (or another single prototype, the DD2) didn't survive long enough to be preserved. Speaking of the DD2, while don't you try that as well? Along with the P5a, this would be all of the PRR steeple cabs. Side note: The original boxcab-type P5 has a sole survivor (4700) which at my local RR museum along with GG1 4918. (Neither are in too great a shape, sadly!) Edited October 2, 2022 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great work on them all, though you might want to rename the topic, as it doesn't quite fit anymore, @Darkkostas25! @JopieK I think this would look awesome as the front-page, if I may be so bold to say so. The second to last pic screams for it to be seen by everyone! Edited October 2, 2022 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted October 3, 2022 Excellent collection of GG1 versions. Thank you for showing the R1 as well. I wasn't even aware of it's existence until now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Supplement_Creatif Posted October 5, 2022 What a beautiful locomotives! The stilling looks almost more European than North American. I also love the brick built stripe, fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordsofMedieval Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) My advice: use the downslope technique on all of them. It matters less if that slope isn't quite "right" for the GG1 and P5a, and more that it's simply smooth. These engines were known for their curves - the staggering is just distracting. But the eye takes a lot longer to catch the fact that smooth line isn't quite the right smooth line. Edited October 10, 2022 by LordsofMedieval Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 10, 2022 This is not one of my favorite locomotive ...but man ...you've done a great MOC. Very neat design! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the eye takes a lot longer to catch the fact that smooth line isn't quite the right smooth line. I have no idea how to make smooth lines without obvious gaps. I don`t like unnecessary gaps and holes and it`s hard to make a proper angle but may try in future Thanks for reply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
