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.

Very nice mod indeed, your real lights rule

The older 9v battery box does indeed exist in black: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4760c01 So no painting

Very nice modelling indeed Especially like the 3-wide engine and the use of the vintage windows.

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:

Later bought 10230 Mini Modulars, 4434 Tipper Truck and 4432 Garbage Truck. Apparently almost all yellow parts in the 2012 sets seem to suffer from this Updated! Usual old'ish yellow left, new'ish yellow right. Thankfully, Jan Beyer has stated (in our LUGs forum) that LEGO is well aware of the problem (partly due to too little yellow dye being used and partly due to dual sourcing from two different dye suppliers) and that they are working on it .

Yep, and also rather expensive from new on BrickLink http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3005&colorID=12 The Trans-Clear Brick 1x1 was last used in a normal set in 1996, and then only one was included

22 (!) Trans-Clear Brick 1x1 are also worth mentioning

This Christmas we got (a second) 7939 Cargo Train and 4437 Police Pursuit and almost all yellow parts in both sets have a noticeably lighter, thinner and more translucent shade with a dull and greenish tint than usual. An old problem resurfacing again

Nice original realization of the DSB MY 1100-series, love the 3-axle boogies (must...not...copy...those) even without decorative sides

Another example (my own, in all modesty )
