Dr Snotson Posted September 21 DB 01 & F-ZUG LEGO SIMON JAKOBI 01 02 by Simon Jakobi, auf Flickr This year I was lucky to finish a long term project... My 01 did receive a major overhaul and some matching rolling stock. Together they form a full consist of a german F-Zug. The new version of my blue lady was inspired by my concept for a 03 on LEGO IDEAS. The tender is all new. I did change the roof and cabine of the engine. The cylinders and several details of the boiler were improved too. But what is most important: She proofed herself as quite a reliable and strong runner on the first exihibtions. Please note: the wagons are slightly shortend by two or three windows and feature standard couplings to keep them compatibel with the engines of other designers and the small radii (R72 and R88) of our LUG-Layout. Up to now I build three wagons including a dinning car. All of the wagons feature full interior and internal illumination.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 22 Wonderful train! The locomotive with the large wheels and dark blue livery is a gem! The carriages are perfect and full of details...I like the shot on the carriage with the bajours visible from the windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LordsofMedieval Posted September 22 Very nice proportions. I sure wish Lego would give us the equivalent of 80-ish inch wheels and driving rods in real bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toastie Posted September 22 Pure blue gold. Crazy. And incredibly, nicely done. For me: Un-be-lievable what you have created. Congratulations! 1 hour ago, LordsofMedieval said: I sure wish Lego would give us the equivalent of 80-ish inch wheels and driving rods in real bricks Who? LEGO? Or TLG? No. They don't. They look at profit only. But there is nothing wrong to wish for that to happen. And: There is more than TLG on his planet. All the best, Thorsten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Snotson Posted September 25 Thank you all! I do not have lots of time for our great hobby at the moment. The more happy I`am that you like my little consist. Maybe next year I will add a baggage wagon. Dark green would be nice. At the moment the plattforms of our Layout are too short. Greetings, Simon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-DoNe- Posted September 29 Very nice build! The proportions look great. I recently built a B01 but used only genuine Lego train wheels. Which I have now concluded are just to small. What size are the ones you used? XL or XXL? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I gave L wheels a chance on my 03 on LEGO IDEAS: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/5c87154b-3396-4343-ac5e-42a5f10bd988 As I mentioned above the design of the egines is pretty close. When you compare my 01 to my 03 the improvement by using XXL-wheels is obvious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
