MOC: E class electric locos

Recommended Posts

I've finally managed to complete a Victorian Railways locomotive...three of them actually:

These were used for suburban goods services in Melbourne. The locos with the steeple cab design (there were only two ever built) came into service in 1923. The box cab design was introduced five years later. They were known as "elec locos" up until the only other class of VR electric loco (the L class) was introduced in 1955, after which they were classified as "E class". In later years these locos were known as "electric chairs".

I've entered these in the E is for Electric competition on Flickr.

Prototypes.

Very nice locs.

Pitty some things need some paint to show it like the original.

On the other hand, Lego itself uses stickers if it doesn't fit.

Also more nice MOC's on your flickr page.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. No paint has been used on these, and there are only a few stickers.

AWESOME just AWESOME 'scruffulous' - they are perfect ! :grin:

I visited our train museum at Port Adelaide today and only saw an electric from BHP Iron Knob line (I think), it's great to see an electric train, even more wonderful it's Aussie !

Excellent work again 'scruffulous' and I'm a conformist! ! :sweet:

Is there no paint on the E1109, the yellow tube on the corner of the window.

Or is it a yellow tube, kept in place with a string?
