0815Tanaka Posted February 12 (edited) Hello. Long time no see. It's been about a year since I last posted an update to my collection. This time I’d like to introduce my first MOC of 2024. [MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0 by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr [MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0 by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr This is a locomotive that I became interested in after seeing @Paperinik77pk's post. The best feature is that it is powered by two 12v Technic motors. LEGO Group's Köf Ⅱ by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr Latest MOC is a retry of the Köf II, which used the same motor but didn't have enough power. https://x.com/0815tanaka_lego/status/1756876699558608945?s=20 First, look at the running. The running speed in the video is the maximum speed. [MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0 by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr [MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0 by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr The biggest factor was being able to secure space to gear down. Initially, I designed it with a gear ratio of 3:5, but I couldn't get enough power, so I changed it to 1:9. It runs very well and can pull seven 6x28 base wagons in the range I tested it with. But it's much slower than a normal motor. [MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0 by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr When mounting a minifigure, change the legs to avoid the axle. The original locomotive was owned by Barbara Pirch, so it uses an Ice Planet series head. [MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0 by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr The nose moves in the same way as #4551. [MOC] 12v German Crocodile E194 178-0 by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr Line up with my previous work Swiss Crocodile. I am very happy that I was able to recreate the two crocodiles in 12v Thank you for reading to the end. Edited February 12 by 0815Tanaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I have 12 The track was changed from double track to single track. [Idea Book #7777 MOD] 12v Train Station by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr [Idea Book #7777 MOD] 12v Train Station by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr 12v station based on Idea Book #7777. Large old gray plates in good condition are expensive so there is no platform on the other side [Idea Book #7777 MOD] 12v Train Station by Kento Tanaka, on Flickr Illuminated by 4 light bricks. In the photo, it is a little dark because it is lit at 9v. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuer Zug Posted February 12 Brilliant work. The exterior looks great and stuffing a pair of 12v motors in really makes it shine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric_son_of_joseph Posted February 13 I'm becoming more interested in vintage LEGO so your blue crocodile MOC is right up my alley. I also watched the video of your other locomotives. So good, as is the idea book in your photos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
