[MOC] DB Class 01 Steam locomotive w/ passenger car

[-DoNe-]

Currently working on this German Class 01 Steam Locomotive. I’m going for an all-Lego approach so I’m limited to Legos large Train wheels, which definitely are to small to be completely accurate. However I believe it scales well enough.
It has a powered up! L motor built in to the boiler and the batterybox will be situated in the tender.
 

Criticism and thoughts are welcome!

Looks great. And yes legos size of the "Big train wheel" is a bummer :( (they are way too small for proper engines with 4-6-2 wheel arrangement) but you got a neat entry for emerald night successor or just its niche

Very nice build!

As it stands, she will have trouble in curves, correct? Due to the rigid driving gear?

Best,

Thanks! I like the idea of an Emerald Night successor. I might just roll with that.

The spacing between the flanged wheels is tested on standard Lego curves and works well. The front boogie is connected with a two-point connection so it have quite a lot articulation.

Finished it today. Batterybox is situated in the tender with the large powered up! motor in the boiler. There is also space for the powered up! lights up front. Im definitely quite satisfied with it despite the slightly to small wheels.

Thoughts are as always welcome!

Looks great! When I create MOCs usually I try to limit myself to rules of "must be LEGO parts" and "must go around official curves" so I understand your pains! With all the detail it's hard to tell the wheels are undersized

Thank you. It really adds another layer of complication. It does give a proper sense of accomplishment when done tho!

Looks good and I understand your problems with the official Lego parts and the small curve radii. With my first moc I had the same solution: too small wheels, but suitable for R40....

Later I changed that ;-)

Thanks! We'll see what the future holds. Maybe this one day has BBB wheels and custom connecting rods.

Just finished a passenger car to go with the loco. The idea is to build a display like the one the passenger car and loco stands on in the renders. Once built there will be only one car as thats all the space I will have.

 

 

Modelled after this:

Cool wagon and it was intended to use 5 windows like in the original + those bogies with ladders like from Emerald night train? (neat!)

The model I modeled it after have 8 windows originally, however it would be ridiculously long if I would have fitted that many so I made a slight compromise. 
I haven’t had a look at the emerald night coach in some time but that might use ladders on the bogies as well. :)
