TTCE: CSX Switcher Locomotive

[Tinn-man]

ENTERED

Let me start this topic off by saying that I love trains. Not specifically LEGO trains, just trains in general. That being said, I have never actually built my own LEGO train outside of the kits, like the BNSF. I thought this contest would give me a good excuse to try building my first train, and I'm actually pretty pleased with it.

So, with out further ado, I present you with my CSX switcher diesel:

More pictures here.

C & C are welcome.

EDIT: I almost forgot: It does have a 9v motor, so it is able to run.

Very nice Tinn-man. I really like this loco. The colors are very pleasant to look at, and the design very well-done.

Great entry!

Very nice entry

Interesting color scheme

Is it based on a "real"loco, or is it just your imagination ? Which would be even better

I have to agree - very nice loco!

Looking at the pics and the colors used I believe it has a real brother.

Looking at all the competitors I have to start thinking abou my train...
