Hallo the Locomotive looks very nice, the scale is not exact but the rendering is able to hide this fact, unfortunately the right wheels (2140mm diameter!) simply don't exist in LEGO universe. The boiler was definitely black but in Lego this blue looks nice, it should also be more tapered (I assure you that is noticeable, I've seen the locomotive at Prague Museum) but this is very difficult to achieve smoothly in LEGO. The tenderreihe 86 is simply beautiful. I congratulate you for facing such a difficult rendering. Sergio Monai

Many congratulations Sven, you deserve it! Sergio

[MOC] Hespertalbahn No. 8 (Krupp type "Knapsack" 0-6-0T) in 1/32 scale

As usual you have been able to improve something already perfect.. Just a question, how are the 3D printed Breckland Bricks wheels in front of the moulded BBB? gruss Sergio -
[MOC] 2-axle passenger wagon in 1/32 scale (gauge 1)
monai replied to Sven J's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Hallo Sven I've already seen your wagon elsewhere (in Deutsch) but I prefer make my congratulations here. Really on your standards, which are very very high. Alles gute! Sergio -
MOC: Swedish Class S1 2-6-4T (with local train) in 1/32.5 scale – update: now with video

Hi Sven I've already seen your movie elsewhere but it's always nice to watch again a great director at work Sergio -
Finally it arrived on Eurobricks, as you know I had the opportunity to see it on other sites. BRILLIANT as usual.. For the noise I agree but the velocity seems in scale, I don't think it run very fast on rails.. The inspection cars are an interesting argument indeed, do you remember the Sir Topham Hat (the fat controller) Winston? https://ttte.fandom.com/wiki/Winston gruss Sergio

Probably I was wrong and in fact, watching carefully the last movie, the actual diameter without the flange should be 48mm, but since the gauge has changed, also the scale is not more the L one (1:38), compromising the right reproduction of the 1,8mt diameter of the real locomotive. Sincerely I don't understand such an approach. Therefore: or LEGO start a new scale design for his train system (very unlikely), or these are unique pieces devoted to few static models.
-
They look not so large, if you pay attention the flange seems 6 studs wide = 48mm, therefore the useful diameter is around 43 => XXL, as regard the crankpin it seems you are right and this means only one thing: LEGO doesn't want these wheel to be used indipendently, not to mention that it is not prototypical.
-
It has been conceived for Harry Potter's audience, not for train one. With such a scale they could make the rods leverages a bit more realistic, it is a pity, not to mention the ridiculous steam ducts. The only positive thing, from a railway point of view, are the new large wheels, XXL size, but only flanged, therefore people must by from others the dumb ones!

I've seen something elsewhere (in Deutsch) but in what scale 1:32 or 1:38 (L-gauge)? It will be wonderful I'm sure Sergio -

Well done, it is very nice with the firebox front and its valves. The interior of my BR96 is completely dumb with the power function sensor as a firebox S. p.s.: perhaps there are some odd graphical settings on you OS (windows?). -

yes sure but with 3d modelling it could be done, obviously not from inside the cabin but in my BR96 I can change the height of the radius bar manually, also if the lack of a proper expansion link (3D?) do not allow a real reversing job. Indeed I would like to see them Sergio p.s.: Sven I see the front picture correctly, perhaps is a question of browser? (I use ubuntu firefox) -

Wow, finally you got it! As in all your models you have reached that sensation of reality that only brass models can give. I think that you are beyond the LEGO community, it is a very nice thing use it this way to favor the spreading of railway industrial culture. Next step: a functional steam distribution (khun scheife?) and... a REAL door Sergio -
Hi Emanuele Many compliments for the MOC it deserves the frontpage and, also if I'm focused on boiling affairs, it's really charming. I agree with the overhead line enthusiasm but I realize that is not easy to make, above all in the curves. Sergio

Really well done, a very nice rendering. Let me wish you a great 2021 too, not only better than 2020 it would bee too easy.. :-) Sergio and eros
