ALCO PA #14 by RIZING!, on FlickrCOPA by RIZING!, on Flickr Woohoo she has bogies! (also lowered the body 2 plates) ALCO PA #13 by RIZING!, on Flickr And I changed the large motor to the extra large motor (which is shorter than the large motor ) ALCO PA #15 by RIZING!, on Flickr And I made a quick change for the front.

Yep. XL wheels are your friends.

I might try a sliding axle but I'm not really sure how I should build it. At the moment I think I will just make the bogies larger on the front and rear so scaling is better. The 4x4 turntable does indeed seem better. actually there isn't really a friction problem. I already built bogies with the same arrangements and while it isn't smooth it at least works.

Hi guys. I built this ALCO PA and I thought, why wouldn't I show it here. Background information The ALCO PA's are A1A-A1A locomotives built to haul passenger trains by ALCO and GE. Sadly, from the nearly 300 PA's built only 7 still exist today. The PA has gone on to achieve a legendary fame in railfan circles. Because of it's tendency to belch heavy, black smoke, the PA has even been declared to be an "honorary steam locomotive". Even the late, noted train artist Howard Fogg, a big steam aficionado, once called the PA "a nice looking locomotive". What else needs to be said? My own model Last year I built a 6 studs wide ALCO PA that I didn't really like because it was small and didn't have much detail. A few weeks ago I also built an 8 studs wide steam locomotive which led to me wanting to built a diesel locomotive in that same scale ( even though the PA is a bit to large) and seeing as I already built a PA before, why not make a new one? ALCO PA #5 by RIZING!, on Flickr I think she looks fine. At least an improvement if you see my older models... Almost everything is done now. I just have to know if the drivetrain works and how I can built the bogies because I've never done any brick built bogies. ALCO PA #6 by RIZING!, on Flickr As you can see, the bogies are geared 1:1 with a large motor. But does a drivetrain like this work? The motors are static in the shell and the bogies are loose under it. ALCO PA #7 by RIZING!, on Flickr So, the L motor in the locomotive doesn't move at all while the bogies are turning when it goes around corners. So I really need to know if that isn't a problem. Also, can jumper plates keep an L motor in place? ALCO PA #8 or so by RIZING!, on Flickr And yeah, I need to make better bogies ALCO PA # 9? by RIZING!, on Flickr But really, I've never built bogies for a train so I definitely need help there. ALCO PA #10 by RIZING!, on Flickr And here a quick comparison picture of the old model (in front) and the new one (in back) Bye

Stunning! So much great detail like the paintings!
-
Stunning work like always!
-
Again awesome micro-mocs. Dark red looks great and the stickers look good. However I think that you should change the middle red brick on the front to a transparent one. It looks like a chuggington train
-
I built a wind turbine, it fell, it broke, I was mad.
-
Awesome! The colour combination looks great.
-
Wait, Doc, are you telling me...that this sucker is nuclear? That locomotive sure looks like the wackiest thing I've seen. The boiler looks a bit to high placed. Maybe something under the boiler could make The gab less noticeable.
-
Awesome looking KÖF. How did you make the upside down bottom with the stairs?
-
Nice! The door hinges won't work for sure though. I tried in real life and it doesn't work. -
I'd prefer 60080. Big enough for details like wing flaps but small enough to play with.

Swiss Electric Crocodile Locomotive (SBB CE 6/8)
THERIZE replied to vedosololego's topic in LEGO Train Tech
What a beautiful locomotive. Great job with the pantographs! What are those things between the leading axle and the coupler? -
your ten year old son makes better trains than me. I might stop building trains now...
-
Nice idea with the switch under the base. And those giant slopes on the front looks really interesting. Quite an unique design.
-
Those double decker coaches looks awesome!
-
Awesome! Great job with the roof vents. The stickers are also nice.
-
The loco was bought by VTG Lehnkering AG in 2002 and repainted in the DB colours. Railbricks issue 8 has an article about it.

Great scott! The motorised doors are awesome!!

Those flatbeds are so beautiful! Awesome job using those 1x2 slopes. -
