scruffulous Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) 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.

Captain Green Hair Posted August 1, 2010 Wonderfully made loco's, very well detailed and proportioned. The blue and yellow would be my favourite, excellent colour scheme! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
private_lego Posted August 1, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

lightningtiger Posted August 1, 2010 AWESOME just AWESOME 'scruffulous' - they are perfect ! 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! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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? Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
