(MOC) Portuguese Cereal/Grain Train - Hopper Consist (Loco+waggons)

Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

Some new stuff.

Locomotive is an EuroSprinter from 2007 (pre-Vectron) the full name is Siemens ES46B1-A
It has the Old CP Carga Livery before they change to Medway, I prefer this one.

The most challenging part was making the big logo on the sides with bricks.
Pode ser uma imagem de lego


The Lego model is based on Beck's with and TBX Nicolas Enhancements Vectron

It has custom M-size wheels, actually, I have two packs, one 3D printed by Brickthebrick with the brake disc and another that is a Mold injection prototype from HA Bricks.
I use the 3D printed ones for photos and static exhibitions and the mold injection ones for running, the 3D are OK for running as well, but the HA Bricks wheels are better for running 

2 Powerfunctions L motors and a MouldKing Battery Hub (its more compact and versatile than the LEGO PU) but I will change to Buwizz as soon my wallet gives me permission :P

Funny easter egg, most of the technical info on the decals are also in Scale as well :)

The waggons are Portuguese hoppers TDGS used to transport Cereal/Grain
Each waggon has around 800 parts, and they are small but with a lot of details, I made 8 waggons (the red wheels are not from Lego), the real train has 18 waggons, but I don't have more room, money or patience to make another 10 :P

Oh no… 😂 The train is too short with only 8 waggons….

But I unterstand you: I don‘t like build the same waggon more times. But a whole train looks awesome….

Absolutely gorgeous train! It is incredible to see the inside of the lettering detail. The whole thing is impressive! Also the fact that the hoppers are nice little compact things makes it great to build quite a fleet!

Congrats, congrats, congrats!

cheers,
