LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 9, 2014 Hi everyone, after a break of a few months here is one of my latest creations: the G2000 a four axle heavy shunting. This diesel locomotive operates in several countries. In Italy the private company Serfer, which is responsible for freight transport, adopted the livery that I have reproduced The most difficult parts to realize were the under body and the windows, but in the end I'm satisfied with the result. Because of the thinness of the central body I had to use a custom battery pack, and as usual I've realized the locomotive providing it with lights The locomotive was lucky because its debut was at the model expo in Verona with Helos and his beautiful (and huge! ) collection ...enjoy the show!

eurotrash Posted March 9, 2014 Authentic color scheme, awesome detailing and those sloping windows. You should be very proud of it - thanks for sharing it with us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted March 9, 2014 Nice one! It really looks like the real one. Great job on getting the cabin proportions right. Nice solution for the lights as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hrw-Amen Posted March 9, 2014 Looks good and nice to see it on a live layout with so many other railway stock. Windows are really tricky I find. It is either settling for a compromise and using one of the windows produced by TLG themselves or tyring to build them using the transparent bricks which can look good or not depending. A dilema I am currently battling with on my latest MOC. Not sure which way to go, but yours looks pretty good so maybe building them is the way forward for me also. Thanks for the help even if not inteneded and for showing us a really nice engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zed_43 Posted March 10, 2014 Really reallistic reproduction! That is a very good job! It is the best replica of this engine I've seen so far! How does it looks in curves? Does the DBG chassis turns when the red cabin stays straight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the compliments everyone ...and yes the red cabin stays straight when the dark body chassis twist in curves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoxtane Posted March 10, 2014 Those headlights are brilliant. I may to steal that idea someday! The rest of the model is extremely good as well; it just works together and looks solid and chunky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 14, 2014 Hi everyone, thank you very much for the positive feed back! Molto bene. How is the front windshield done? The front windshield is a lego trick, every windows in this locomotive is hold by a plate 1 x 1 with clip vertical, in the cab there is a cross of these pieces.

bmacro Posted March 26, 2014 Nice work! I've never seen the real one, but I'm sure, your model is really like the original, in so far someone said to me (... Helos ...) you did a great work (and when Helos speaks about your MOCs .... yeah!!) I saw it at Model Expo in Verona togheter with your other MOC and...,well, what else can I say: Congratulations.

helos Posted April 3, 2014 You've chosen one of the most appealing liveries of this machine. Great work higly detailed. Reproducing with Lego the Mak G 2000 is not as simple as seems to be especially for the boogies and the cabins. Moreover you chose the 7stud for making your life difficult. Well, the result is fully achieved with skilled solutions. :thumbup: I like the windshelds, the details on the roof and, of course, how you've worked out the lights as the surly look of the original loco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
