WDW Roger E Broggie

[DasMatze]

This is my version of the Roger E Broggie from Walt Disney World:

The content of the tender as well as the cab are highly improvised. Also this thing may not be able to take turns due to the magnet holder of the loco being blocked by some details. According to Rebrickable there are parts in this MOC that don't exist in this color but according to LDD's limited mode they do exist. Well LDD is not reliable it seems. That's the reason I didn't upload it to Rebrickable. But the LDD file exists anyway: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yjs5w4mvvic5gmx/WDW%20Roger%20E%20Broggie.lxf

I hope you like it!

That looks like a good, sound design. You got a lot of slopes and details that usually get cut (e.g., the slope of the frame under the cab and the cab roof). At least the red small train wheels look to be non-existant parts.

I like, first train like this what looks decent around the place.

Thanks for the comments!

Haha, I knew someone would point that detail out. Good thing I decided to keep it (that's the detail that blocks the magnet).

You're right. I thought they were available. Now that I think of it, maybe I'll make a different colored version for real-life use.

Hi, sorry for reviving this really old thread, but I'd really like the LXF for this or your other train. I love the looks of them. Any chance you could reactivate the Dropbox links?

Thank you!

Now this thread is already revived I can add something. The small red wheels are actually available now with the Toy Story train.

edit: noticed I'm wrong, sorry.

The red flanged drive wheels yes, but I don't think the blind drive wheels are.

TLG produces the large drivers as a three piece of F-B-F

So, that means that the Toy Story train did in fact come with a pair of blind drivers! I own a copy.

Life would be a lot different if TLG produced them in a two piece of F-B...

Imagine the original EN set with a 2nd pair of blind's for alternate models...

But that's in some alternate universe somewhere...!

((also, in yet another parallel universe, TLG was more aggressive and bought out little start-ups like BB Bricks and ME Models))

I'm pretty sure the very small wheels on the pilot truck are still not available in red.
