Spur II aus Klemmbaust Posted January 19 Hello everyone, after a long time without a new locomotive, I would like to introduce you to my newest MOC: 99 236 of the Harz narrow-gauge railways (HSB). The model is my most complex one until now (11 months of construction time, over 5,000 bricks). About the original: The 99 236 (formerly 99 7236-5) has been my absolute favorite locomotive for as long as I can remember. Therefore, it was clear that when the time came and after I had some experience with building MOCs (99 1782-4, Mallet 11sm) I had to build this machine out of Lego. About the model: The locomotive is completely to scale and is powered by two L-motors on one axle. I'm a little proud of the slanted driver's cab windows, the slanted tender and the snow clearers, which cost me a lot of work. The MOC can run on standard garden railway tracks of gauge IIm (gauge 45mm). As always, I have put together a short video with detailed shots, driving videos and, as a bonus, a ride with the great role model from Wernigerode to Drei Annen Hohne. I hope you enjoy watching it. Best regards, Niklas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idlemarvel Posted January 19 Lovely model. I have fond memories of the same journey from Wernigerode, pulled by the same class of loco. The operating running gear is very cool. Does it run on straights only or can it cope with LGB R5 curves? Also I wonder why you use plates rather than bricks on the outside layers? For strength or appearance? Good job!

To make it simple I have filmed it on straights ;-) I only use plates because with them the locomotives are much more stable. I also need plates to build in all the details and because I don‘t like a combination of plates and bricks (this does not look very uniform) I build with plates only.

Yperio_Bricks Posted January 23 I can see the Brocken from where i live, but it's been quite some time since my last ride with the Brockenbahn. Your model captures the locomotive perfectly! So good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spur II aus Klemmbaust Posted March 14 (edited) Hello everyone, attached is a short video with my 99 236 in the Harz. I was very lucky that day because the train to the Brocken was hauled by the real 99 236. This resulted in a direct comparison between the model and the MOC. Have fun watching. ☺️ Greetings, Nik Edited March 14 by Spur II aus Klemmbaust Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
