This is a quality build. However I Iike to see some close up photos of motor decor and those three part side windows to fully appreciate what you built. Is that possible?

This is a Swedish T44 diesel locomotive, in two color schemes, and both equipped with the "new" Powered Up system. The PuP battery box withg it's slimmer height is better for locomotives with limited space heightwise like the T44. Also it means battery change is quite easy.

Thanks ! I need to remove it to activate the hub.
-
Beautiful building !

This is my Mercedes Arocs truck in 6wide scale.
-
No you misunderstood, it IS a ladder, but the ladder is hold in right position by jumper plates. That is what I meant.
-
Thanks. It is a hinge bar, ref 2880. The bed can slide off, but there is no tipping mechanism.
-
Half stud offset normally means jumper plates, so that is what I used.
-
Thanks. It is a plate 1*2 with ladder ref 4175, assembled with half stud offset, so it becomes flush with sides.

Impressive stuff !!!

Can Anyone Share a Powered 3-wheel tender truck in LDD with me, please?
Selander replied to ProvenceTristram's topic in LEGO Train Tech
To my experience, a static three axle bogie, is not recommended (at all). It will have a considerable friction on rails. Unless you build a static model for your bookshelf I wouldn't use that technic. -
Long time since posting any trucks.... well here's a new vintage style timber transport truck inspired by Volvo F88, Hope you like it, comments and proposals welcome

A floating mid axle is the right way to go. A static three axle truck will not perform well in std curves and/or switches. https://flic.kr/p/bjEvwq -

This MOC Tank Engine is inspired by the german Knapsack but it is not a scale model…. It is my very first MOC steam Engine, and I focused on the estetics…. hence no motor nor advanced connecting rods with brake cylinders etc.... To accompany these tank Engines I present two concept motorized wagons, with PF and PuP respectively. Please let me know what you think.

I added a DkGreen inverted slope at each side of the coal bunker, and submitted this to BMR:s October competition, Hope you like it
-
Nice result ✌️??
-
Yes. These are made from a modified 1*7 liftarm thin. The cut pin is to increase strength of (glued) joint.
-
Added pipeworks and coal bunker is now 7wide. Improved ? Please let me have your thoughts.
-
Thanks for all positive comments and creative proposals. In fact I am doing some add-on:s right now, and will take new pictures after receipt of a BL order ? M motor is merely for display, a std train motor drives the wagon.
-
Thanks for an expert review ? Yepp wheels are big, but I wanted to use these Lego originals since they are so beautiful....and as pointed out it is not an scale modell, but simply what I found pleasing for the eye. Same with bunker design....however I will try adding an additional inverted slope at each end an see what I think. Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated.

MOD - 12 volt wheels with axle hole for Power Functions motor
Selander replied to Paperinik77pk's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Here's a 2011/2012 tutorial for adding a third wheel to a PF train motor. -
Try to cut circular segments of bicycle inner tube, and put those on each wheel. I've used it successfully on BBB medium wheels. You need a groove in the wheel to use o-rings like those EN wheels have. Otherwise they will slide off.

PP3 battery is about 3studs wide, hence panels are needed to make it fit in a 4wide hood like 7760 has. I don't understand what you mean with "those are not common parts"... My DkGreen loco has a 5wide brickbuilt hood, leaving a 3wide gap for the PP3.
-
Above is a link to my 7760 PF. Here is another loco I made with PP3 battery, to make really compact designs.
