Captain K. Posted December 30, 2012 Indexed by Moderator Hi All, I want you today to present my new MOC of Motorcar M-1. This model is inspired by the Gas Motorcar M-1 of East Broad Top Railroad (EBT). I like this Motorcar and wanted to build one. It is not a 100% copy of the EBT M-1! For example, the color of the Lego Motorcar I changed. This Car is build in 8wide and 42 studs long, and powered with two 9V motors. I especially like the new color “dark green” from Lego, so the trains look very realistic. More pictures of Motorcar M-1 you can find on Brickshelf: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=519404 I hope you like. Sven (Captain K) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steinkopf Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Very nice work there Sven, it reminds me a lot of the Brill Gas Electric Railmotors used for branchline passenger services on a number of US Railroads such as the Maryland & Pennsylvania or the East Broad Top Railroad which your model is based on, I think you have done an excellent job in replicating the look of this vehicle.

Captain K. Posted December 31, 2012 Was this your inspiration? No not really, my inspiration was East Broad Top Railroad Gas Motorcar M-1. Here a link to the EBT RR Homepage: http://www.ebtrr.com/equip/gas.html Sven (Captain K) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
