Presenting another Danish shunter... The Danish State Railways (DSB) first radio controllable shunter Litra MK was built in Germany by Siemens from the year 1996 to 1998. 25 were built in all. All but one shunter were transferred to DSB subsidiary Railion in 2001 and DB Schenker Rail in 2007. My LEGO model is my second attempt at the Litra MK and is the DSB Gods version. Scale: 1:54 Lenght: 26 studs Width: 7 studs Bricks: 410 Motortype: PF Model built: 2013-14 The stickers are homemade again. Lots of somewhat fragile greebles. No room for the driver in the cap Only PF can be used to run the model and requires one 9v battery connected by custom adapter to the Power Functions M-Motor. Pull and speed are acceptable.

Roskilde is the 10th largest city in Denmark with a population around 48,000 and is located 30 km west of Copenhagen. Roskilde is a historic city and during the late Viking Age and Middle Ages it was the capital of Denmark. This layout shows the city center of Roskilde. I got the idea for the layout back in November 2012 when I was exhibiting some of my MOCs at LEGO Fan Welt in Cologne. At the exhibition I bought “The Big Unofficial LEGO Builder's Book” written by Joachim Klang and Oliver Albrecht. The book inspired me to build something in scale 1:100. At the same exhibition a large model of the Cologne Cathedral was exhibited. It inspired me to build the cathedral in my hometown Roskilde. When I came home to Denmark I started building Roskilde Cathedral and its surroundings in scale 1:100. It took 16 month to build the layout. In May 2014 the layout was exhibited for the first time at a LEGO exhibition (Klodsfest) in Roskilde. The most famous building Roskilde is the Cathedral (Roskilde Domkirke). The cathedral is the burial site for the Danish monarchs and is known as the church in the world where most kings and queens are buried. Since 1995, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Roskilde Cathedral contains architecture from the last 800 years. There has been a church on the site since year 980. The current cathedral was built between 1170 and 1280 in the Gothic style. But since then many extensions have been added: The two large west tower was completed around year 1400 The Margrethe Spire is built around 1420 Christian I’s Chapel is built around 1460 Christian IV’s Chapel is built in the Renaissance style around 1620 The two characteristic spires on the towers is built around 1635 Frederik V’s Chapel is built in neo-Classical style around t 1775 Christian IX’s Chapel is built in neo-Byzantine style in 1925 Frederik IX’s Burial Site is built in 1985. More information: http://en.wikipedia....kilde_Cathedral The Former Town Hall of Roskilde was built in neo-Gothic style in 1884. But the tower is much older. It was built in Gothic style around year 1500. Originally it was part of St Lawrence Church. But after the Danish reformation in 1536 the church was demolished. The tower were allowed to stand and in 1884 the tower became part of the new neo-Gothic Town Hall: The real town hall can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia...._mpazdziora.jpg The Yellow Mansion (Roskilde Palæ) was built in the 1730s in Baroque style: The real mansion can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia....ce,_Denmark.jpg The “Absalon Arch” was built in the Gothic style around year 1200 and connected the cathedral to the Bishop's Palace, which at the time was where the yellow mansion is today: The real arch can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia...._(Roskilde).jpg Roskilde Gymnasium is a Danish high school lactated next to the cathedral. There has been a school on the site since year 1020. But no buildings are left from that time. The high school's oldest building is the “Rector Residence”. It has a north wing which dates from around 1770. The rest of the residence is built around 1820: The main building of the school is from 1842: During the last 100 years many additional buildings have been added to the school. The newest building is the blue “Science Building” from 2012: This is how Roskilde looks like in real life: More photos of my layout can be seen here: https://www.flickr.c...57646580719978/

I have had this moc as a project since 2010, annd it is still not done... It started out having the old 6x2x2 windshield before the 6x3x2 came out, thank god for that one Now i just need to change the tail lights so the top one is a cheese slope and add some stickers, then i think i will be done. But i thought it was about time to post it

This one has been sitting in my basement too for a couple of years, and though it is not yet completed, i thought it was time to post it. It is a VW Transporter, standard ambulance of the Copenhagen Fire Department. It needs an interior and some stickers, then it will be done.

The Church of Our Lady (Danish: Vor Frue Kirke) is the cathedral of Copenhagen and the National Cathedral of Denmark. There has been a church on this site since the 12th century, but the church building has burned and been rebuilt several times. The present day version of the church was designed by the Danish architect Christian Frederik Hansen in the neoclassical style and was built between 1817 and 1829. A while ago Copenhagen Cathedral asked me if I could build a model of this church. This resulted in this MOC. The church is built in scale 1:100 and it took around 37 hours to build it. The real church can be seen here: More photos of my MOC can be seen here: https://www.flickr.c...57642444211364/

Since Tivoli was founded in 1843 it has been one of the most popular tourist attractions in Copenhagen. In October 2012 we were 7 members of the Danish LUG Byggepladen who decided to build Tivoli. The construction started in January 2013 and continued for the next 14 months until February 2014. Last week our layout was shown at LEGO World in Copenhagen. Jakob Hestbæk has built The Main Entrance: Pjerrot at the Tivoli Main Entrance: The Danish fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) liked to visit Tivoli: Anne Mette Vestergård and I have built The Tivoli Castle (Tivoli Slottet): Anne Mette has also built "The Kissing Benches" (Kyssebænkene). Jørgen Pedersen has ensured that there is light in the lamp posts: Jakob Hestbæk has built the pirate ship and Tine Gudiksen has built The Japanese Tower (Det Japanske Tårn): Tine Gudiksen and Trine Jensen have built Nimb: The path between Nimb and The Roller Coaster. In the background Tine's model of The Japanese Tower: Anne Mette has built this restaurant, located below the roller coaster: Anne Mette and I have built the stands under the roller coaster. "Is" is the Danish word for ice-cream. Anne Mette and I have built The Ferris Wheel (Ballongyngen) and The Roller Coaster (Rutschebanen) with The Mine (Minen). Henrik Christian Grove has built the carousel and The Vintage Cars (Veteranbilerne): When we built the ferris wheel (Ballongyngen), we had to buy technic liftarms at bricklink . I had never thought that would happen. Anne Mette has also built the fountains: Anne Mette and I have built The Camel Trail: Trine Jensen has built the Tivoli Lake with Færgekroen and the boats which can move. Jakob Hestbæk has built the Monsoon, which can be seen in the background. The 7 builders are: Jakob Hestbæk, Henrik Christian Grove, Jørgen Pedersen, Lasse Vestergård, Anne Mette Vestergård, Trine Jensen and Tine Gudiksen.

Located in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Gemini Residence used to be two seed silos. Here's my interpretation as a LDD MICRO MOC. Although this MOC is fairly simple, you may click on the image to download the LXF file.

When I saw the many new Bright Light Orange bricks from the LEGO Friends theme my first thought was that the colour looked like the colour of a typical Danish “yellow” house. Therefore I decided to collect Bright Light Orange bricks in order to build a house in that colour. Like many other young girls Olivia dreams about a tall broad-shouldered guy. None of the Friends boys could live up to that. Therefore she found him in another LEGO theme.

Hi everyone. A new building is available for download. This time it's the Ferring International Center/Pharmaceuticals in Ørestad City, Denmark. Just like the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel I made a while back, the logos on the building is made in Photoshop, since custom decals is unavailable as you all know. Picture of the real building In case of LDD is crashing upon loading the model, follow these three steps. 1. Go to the settings in LDD. 2. Uncheck "High-quality rendering of bricks placed in the scene". (If it still crashes, try uncheck "High-quality of bricks in the Brick Palette in the settings.) 3. Restart LDD and then load the building. Download Contains 13178 bricks, just a heads up for you guys with a slower computer.

[MOC] DSB Køf with DSB Litra Gs I (8-wide shunter & 7-wide wagons)
dtomsen posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
Presenting another Köf...with wagons DSB Køf The Danish State Railways (DSB) shunter Køf was the Danish version of the legendary German Köf (Kleinlokomotive, Öl-antrieb durch dieselmotor, kraftübertragung mit Flüssigkeitbetriebe). 40 Køf shunters were built by Frichs from 1966 to 1969. A few are still in active service today. My model: DSB red & black livery used in the 1980s. Scale: 1:45 Length: 17 studs Width: 8 studs Bricks: 276 Powered: 1 x 9v motor or PF motor with the old 9v battery box using the PF to 9v extension wire Control: 9v / IR Reciever or SBrick Designed: 2012 Minor updated: 2018 Very high setting render from Stud.io with custom decals done in the PartDesigner tool. Easy access to the IR Receiver: Either 9v or PF can be used to run the model but PF requires the PF train motor to be connected to the older 9v battery box by extension wire in a very tight fit with little room to spare. DSB Litra Gs (I) wagons The Danish State Railways (DSB) classic 2-axle covered wagons with sliding doors were built by Scandia in Denmark. A huge numbers of 2.871 were built from 1953-1964. A few are still used today. My model: Scale: Approx. 1:50 Length: 26 studs Width: 7 studs Bricks (2023): 475 Designed: 2013 Updated: 2018, 2023 DSB Gs (I) wagons pushed by DSB Køf: -
The Sun Chariot (Danish: Solvognen) is one of the most famous Danish archaeological finds. The sculpture was made in the Bronze Age about 1350 BC. The sculpture was discovered in 1902 in a peat bog on the Trundholm moor. It is now in the collection of the National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen. Since 2011 The Sun Chariot has been portrayed at the Danish 1000-krone banknote. This gave my the inspiration to build a 1:1 MOC of the Sun Chariot. My MOC show how the Sun Chariot looked like when it was new and undamaged. I have only used two different colours in this MOC: Dark Bluish Gray and Pearl Gold. The assortment of pearl gold parts are not large. Therefore I had to build the whole gold circle of this five kinds of parts:

Building a rollercoaster, aka "The Pirate"
Carsten Svendsen posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
**Recovered from the server chrash** As some may have seen in the generals section, I'm building a rollercoaster vehicle with some help from legolijntje Almost obviously, I'm also building a rollercoaster and it's a bit larger than I first thought. (This one) Scale equals 1:28,125 and the complete lenght of the track will become 26,84 metres and 1,78m x 5,69m in dimensions or 10,11 m2 The scale is based on that the original rail have a distance of 90 cm in between, and my track has a distance of 5 studs (or 4 studs, mid-hole to mid-hole) that equals 3,2 cm At this stage I have build a 1,5m long track and I'm not to happy about the results. I think that it's the car that's the problem because the track should be smooth enough. I can't upload a video in this given time because I don't have enough internet left (already used 55Gb this month), so in the next weekend, it will come. However I can show you guys my experiments and findings so far. There are 3 different track parts that I need to make: - A 4-sided track for the first hill including lifting mechanism (3,02m) - A 3-sided track for the middle part of the coaster (15,64m) - A 2-sided track for the last few metres of the coaster (8,18m) I'm not quite sure about the 4-sided track yet but I have build a 3-sided one. This track consist of the following process: + = + Link = It's really flexible: And in full it looks like this: For the 2-sided track I figured I'd just do this as it's easiest and I see no reason why it shouldn't be like that: As it looks now, the car drives really well on straight lines, but as soon as it starts to curve, the car derails. It's because there are no wheels under the track but I will see what I can do about that. I think, that to make the car go all around the track, I need to put in a motor in one of the cars to get it around. Also, the gravity is really weird; IRL the car doesn't come as fast down the hill as the LEGO version does, but then the LEGO version slows down muh faster..... It's a strange world really....
