Eki1210

Thank you guys .

This is a MOC of an IFV with an automated Turret, sporting an auto Canon. Designwise i based it on modern european Hardware. It features working suspension, albeit a very rudimentary one. As is the case with my amphibious APC, i´m currently working on optimizing the camo pattern and some smaller details. But overall i consider the build finished. So, please feel free to comment / critique the build.

A Moc of an APC, loosely based on the german "TPZ Fuchs" and the finnish "Sisu Pasi". It features working Steeering for the 2 Front Axles and Suspension. I´m currently working on optimizing the Camo Pattern, but the model itself I´m mostly happy with. Feel free to comment / critique.

I would support that Really nice seeing the fx-tracks in action, i used them in my layout too. The sound of 9V boogies on metall rails is just nice!

I really hope it is okay to "necro" this thread, but i really enjoyed going through it this sunday and watching all the videos . Maybe we can get this thread going again, here are some videos i shot this weekend in my living room . (Sorry for bumping an old thread, but i thought why start a new one when there already is a nice one!) EDIT: Fixed the links

Fantastic, i did not think about that piece! The next bricklink order sure will contain these, thank you very much.

Thank you guys! I´d be interested to see them, maybe you could post them?

Great looking Loco, awesome job .

Great! The telephone handset and the cup as greebling details are very nice.

I know that feeling You did a great job, i really like how your 1245 turned out! The alignment of the steps is a nice touch .

Indeed, it´s a bit lackluster for sure, but i´m a bit clueless how to spice it up.

Thank you very much! Good to see some love for 6 wides Yes, i normally use this: or this: to pull the passenger coaches. If you want to see more of them, i have seperate threads for these locos :

Thanks to all for the encouraging words Indeed, I was also thinking about going the 7 or 8 wide way, but in the end i really like the "oldschool" look of 6 wide trains and 4 wide cars of yesteryears. Affordability is a good point. Another big point for me is that I don´t have a permanent layout. I build my track from time to time in the living- and eating-rooms, and the 6 wide models allow for tighter curves (72 or 88) without looking to weird. This is a very nice loco you build there, i like it a lot! I also am a fan of the 9V system, a bit of rose tinted glasses for me there, i grew up with this

Thanks to both of you! I have updated the main post with more pictures.

29.09.2023 - new locomotives Hello there and thank you for stopping by! Since posting last time i mocced up 3 more locomotives. They have been kept in the same "9V era plus style" i usually build in. The first new addition is a EMD GP "High Nose" Locomotive. It is based loosely on GP7 and GP9 Locomotives and is build in a CN Paint scheme to not look out of place when it runs together with the 10133 BNSF Loco. Speaking of 10133, the lower part and the longer hood-roof is heavily based on this set. EMD GP Highnose CN by Henrik S, auf Flickr EMD GP Highnose CN by Henrik S, auf Flickr EMD GP Highnose CN by Henrik S, auf Flickr EMD GP Highnose CN by Henrik S, auf Flickr Next we have a EMD Switcher Locomotive. Again, it resembles no particular prototype, it is basically an attempt to capture the general vibe of this type of locomotive in a 6 wide format.

Most of the parts used to build this locomotive come from set 10277 ( which was killed to create this 6 wide, 9V powered baby crocodile ).

Some pictures on flickr were lost since then, some mocs got updated, some got dismembered to loot pieces for other projects. So i decided to revive this thread, and to show you some of my Mocs, mods and stuff i´ve been tinkering with since then. The Introduction of the 9V tracks from fxbricks in bigger radiuses triggered me to dust of my beloved 9v sets and to get into the rabbithole of lego trains again. I always had a soft spot for the 9V system, the sound of the metal rails.. It is a fondly remembered part of my childhood, many happy hours were spent playing with it . My models are obviously not exactly to scale. Some are not even prototypical. My goal has been to build something which resembles sets of the 9v era, including the wide range of new parts introduced since then. Another goal is playability. If possible I try to incorporate many play features (minifig seatings, working doors and mechanisms, cockpits and interiors, etc.). Locos: 4551 - crocodile I do not own this set, but i always liked the look of it. My adaptation of the crocodile has been color switched, from the ÖBB red to the german green color sheme. The „beaks“ of the original set were prone to derail. They have been changed to avoid this problem and have been shortened to look more prototypical. Other changes include the addition of 2 windows in the main section and a different roof. Lego 4551 Crocodile - modded by Henrik S, auf Flickr Lego 4551 Crocodile - modded by Henrik S, auf Flickr Lego 4551 Crocodile - modded by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4564 - 3 axle Shunting diesel Almost completly different from the original 4 axled locomotive found in Set 4564, i rebuild this loco to a 3 axle configuration. I always liked small shunting diesels like the german v60 or the vossloh G6, so the design of the superstructure resembles them.

Build in the striking ocean blue – tan color sheme the DB used quite some time ago. BR 111 by Henrik S, auf Flickr BR 111 by Henrik S, auf Flickr BR 111 by Henrik S, auf Flickr Here it is with 4 passenger coaches. BR 111 with Passenger Train by Henrik S, auf Flickr The dining car, with pantograph to power the kitchen. Dining Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr Dining Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr 10183 - Modern electric locomotive This engine is loosely based on modern TRAXX locos. The base for this loco lies in a B Variant of set 10183 – Hobby train. After building the B model i kept tinkering with it, and over time it evolved into something resembling a modern TRAXX Locomotive. I actually have this loco 2-times: One in a red color sheme like DB uses, 10183 - Hobby Train Mod by Henrik S, auf Flickr and one in a black color sheme based on MRCE (leasing service for locomotives in Europe) Lego Hobby Train B Version (V2) by Henrik S, auf Flickr Lego Hobby Train B Version (V2) by Henrik S, auf Flickr Lego Hobby Train B Version (V2) by Henrik S, auf Flickr 7938 - Commuter train A lot has been changed. The middle waggon was removed and the remaining two parts are now connected with a jacobs boogie. The pantographs were removed, as the prototype for my version is powered by diesel. Another noteworthy change is the addition of implied doors. 7938 Mod by Henrik S, auf Flickr 7938 Mod by Henrik S, auf Flickr 7938 Mod - Cockpit by Henrik S, auf Flickr 7938 Mod - interior by Henrik S, auf Flickr Rolling stock: Container car; 2 and 4 axle versions It is build to carry the classic 4 wide containers common in the 9v era. The 4 wide containers look a bit small sizewise, but i like the versatility they offer. They can be transported by the classic 4 wide lego trucks, they can be grabbed by the Container Stacker. So in short, the playability outweighed the scale here. Container Cars by Henrik S, auf Flickr Container Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr Container Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr Container Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr Tank car A 4 axled tank car. The tank can be build in a variety of colors. The solution for the fairly round tank is not by me. I think i have seen the design somewhere here on eurobricks, but i don´t know by whom unfortunatly. So, if you read this and this is your design, please let me know and i will add your name for this technique! The original Design is by Phoxtane, check his tank car here: Tank Cars by Henrik S, auf Flickr Tank Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4537 – Twin Tank Car I fondly remember this waggon from my childhood. The original set rocked the classic white-green-red octan colors. On my quest to achieve a round and 6 wide design, this iconic color sheme unfortunatly had to go. Now it is dark bluish gray, which i think is a pretty common color for this type of freight car, so it is okay with me. Twin Tank Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr Twin Tank Car by Henrik S, auf Flickr EAOS - gondola car A car which can be seen countless times here in europe. There is not much to say about this car really, i tried to keep the weight down and the model features working doors. EAOS Gondola car by Henrik S, auf Flickr EAOS Gondola car by Henrik S, auf Flickr Small Box Car A classic of the 9V Waggons, in my oppinion it holds up nicely even today. The only change to it has been the addition of a curved roof, which in my oppinion looks pretty nice. Small Box Cars by Henrik S, auf Flickr Buildings and other stuff: 4554 – Trainstation Another classic 9V set (which i got for christmas in the 90s). I did not change much. Mainly the switch to a tan paint job and the interior of the station are different. The Rest is largely unchanged. 4554 Trainstation by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4554 Trainstation by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4554 Trainstation by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4554 Trainstation by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4554 Trainstation by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4554 Trainstation by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4555 – Cargo station Much like set 4554, not much was changed. I used the modern profile / masonry bricks to get a bit more detail into the building. The interior was tiled and the sparse furnishings were a bit extended. This set is part of the reason why i kept the 4 wide containers. I really like the old grippers in this set, which are also used on the container stacker set. 4555 Cargo Station by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4555 Cargo Station by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4555 Cargo Station by Henrik S, auf Flickr 4555 Cargo Station by Henrik S, auf Flickr Dockside crane Like the old harbour sets of the Lego town days, the base for my dockside is made of the elevated baseplates. The crane works and is able to unload the cargo from boat into freight cars (or into cargo trucks).

Please let me know your opionions, critics and suggestions. I hope you have fun looking through these pictures!

lovely station, i like the interior you created. the roof is cool also, studs for the win! i think a few studs here and there are good, it adds to the charme.

great coaches! i think brickbuild the gap won´t be as noticable as on the renders, so maybe it isn´t as big of an issue.

Thank you zephyr! thank you Murdoch, yes, it´s always good if a moc can clear the R40 curves

Hello there, this is my lego version of the japanese electric locomotive JNR Class EF65-1000. It´s operating on passenger and freight services in Japan since 1965. I really like the bulky and boxy shape, i think this translated pretty well to lego . Feel free to tell me what you think, comments and critic is very welcome! But enough talk for now, have fun watching the pictures: JNR EF65-1000 Lego MOC by Henrik S, auf Flickr JNR EF65-1000 Lego MOC by Henrik S, auf Flickr JNR EF65-1000 Lego MOC by Henrik S, auf Flickr JNR EF65-1000 Lego MOC by Henrik S, auf Flickr JNR EF65-1000 Lego MOC by Henrik S, auf Flickr (The loco is fully able to navigate the lego switches and R40 curves, the front and back boogies can swivel, the middle boogie holds the chassis of the loco)

Sorry, unfortunately not. But it really isn´t that hard, it is mainly the windows and simple bricks instead of the weightbricks. All the other parts are pretty common and affordable on bricklink i think.

Indeed, the result seems to not be perfect. Maybe my wheels looked already quite good before i used elsterglanz on them, i´m not so sure anymore... I´d like to open the motors to clean the wheel inside, but i don´t want to break all the clips, so i leave it be.

That´s right

Hello everyone, and thanks for stopping by! I´d like to show you my MOC of the DB Class 143. The proportions, similar to my class 111, aren´t 100 percent perfect to the prototype, but i´d like to think that it fits well with the official lego city trains. Maybe some of you guys will like it, if not that´s okay too Hope you enjoy the pictures, feel free to comment and critizise! DB BR 143 by Henrik S, auf Flickr DB BR 143 by Henrik S, auf Flickr DB BR 143 by Henrik S, auf Flickr As suggested by @Duq in the class 111 thread, the skies are now attached to the pantograph via 1x1 tile with clip DB BR 143 by Henrik S, auf Flickr

This is a good idea, i´ll try if this works out okay, because the ski parts are overlapping and i don´t know if it´ll look okay, Thanks for the suggestion tho! @Paperinik77pk Thank you very much! @Feuer Zug Thank you!

Man... such great results. I havent achieved this level of perfection with Elsterglanz, maybe i should try a rubber too (for the tracks of course).
