Sérgio Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) "MiraDouro" is composed of the CP 1400 series diesel locomotive and Schindler Tourist carriages. This is my favorite consist nowadays, actually, there are several colors and variations, and it's hard to find the exact same configuration the next day. The Schindler carriages - produced in the 1940s by the Swiss manufacturer Schindler and put into service on the national railway network between 1949 and 1977 - have recently been restored and their panoramic windows can be opened during the journey. It runs daily between Oporto São Bento/Campanhã and Pocinho and back. About the model - Circa 10000parts - 5KGs - 2,50meters long - motorized by 2 PF motors + Buwizz - front and tail lights - full interior - 8 months of working Edited April 24, 2023 by Sérgio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Brick Boss Posted April 24, 2023 Though I don't plan to have any train MOCs in my town, I enjoy seeing them here on Eurobricks. Especially passenger trains. I think this one is one of my favorites. Great Job on the detail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted April 24, 2023 Another fine example of Portuguese railroading. As this is a historic train, the consist being varied day to day is perfectly acceptable. The detail work on all parts of this is fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
