[Real Bricks] Ricky's SBB Be 4/6 locomotive
RickyWasAYoungBoy replied to RickyWasAYoungBoy's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Thanks Thorsten! They are PF XL motors. I mounted them vertically, so only the PF XL motors are possible options since they are short in length. -
[MOC] Ricky's PRR class GG1 locomotive
RickyWasAYoungBoy replied to RickyWasAYoungBoy's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Dark green part are very hard to find, and if there are they can be very very expensive. I can be almost impossible to collect all the parts of dark green color. I planed to build a dark green Be 4/6 but when I checked out the dark green parts, I gave up. Maybe try a black version. Black GG1s are also cool. -

Likely the best Be 4/6 MOC in the world :) No more words needed. Enjoy the final work! Only one one of the cabins has interor, the other one is for placing the RC receiver. Uses 2 XL motors. It goes a bit slow, but has a good traction.

Hi everyone, long time no see! The last time I posted was back in 2020. From then on, beside trying to build those designs into real bricks (having done 3 of them), I continue to design new ones. Here's another iconic swiss locomotive, the Be 4/6. These locomotives came out by the time of the famous Ce 6/8 "Crocodile", but in a boxy shape. The Be 6/8 are built for the Gothard Railway from 1920 to 1923. 40 are built. 3 of them are preserved and still alive today, more than a hundred years old. FreelanceArtist has already done a greate job in the Be 4/6 MOC, which set up a great example. My version has 7-stud-wide cabins and 8-stud-wide body, proportions adjusted. I tried the unique dark-green color body at the beginning, but it's too difficult to get all the necessary parts in that color, so I settled for the classic brown color. Powered by 2 XL motors. I also left space for wires of Lego's official led lighting. Full cabin interior, inspired by the official Crocodile design. Openable doors. Designed to go on R40 track. Totaling 1480 parts. See others of my works, some have been built into real bricks:

I'm not selling or giving away the design. Apologies. But thanks for your compliment :) -

[MOC] SBB Re 460 locomotive
RickyWasAYoungBoy replied to RickyWasAYoungBoy's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Thanks. In fact it is the tiles not the plates that worked. If I stack plates it's going to look very smooth. There's a tiny flute at the bottom edge of every tile that's what gives it the look. -
[MOC] SBB Re 460 locomotive
RickyWasAYoungBoy replied to RickyWasAYoungBoy's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Finally Build a real one in 2023. I will open a new topic for this. -
With the striped Amfleet coaches as well. I should really build the whole train in real bricks.

Hello Everyone! Ricky is back! Actually this AEM-7 engine I finished in 2020 together with the AmFleet Coach. [MOC] LEGO Amfleet I Coach - LEGO Train Tech - Eurobricks Forums In other words, the AmFleet is not complete without an Engine, and the AEM-7 is definitely the most iconic one. The AEM-7 originated from the Swedish Class Rc4. It was far smaller than its predecessors, GG1 and E60. On its introduction it was the "smallest and lightest high horsepower locomotive in North America." Amtrak ordered the AEM-7 after the failure of the GE E60 locomotive. The first locomotives entered service in 1980 and were an immediate success, ending a decade of uncertainty on the Northeast Corridor. Shupp's Version: MOC: Amtrak AEM-7 and Amfleet Coach - LEGO Train Tech - Eurobricks Forums Shupp has already done a perfect job with the AEM-7 and the Amfleet coach more 10 years back. It still looks pretty stunning from today's view. Mine is a different approach, especially with the tri-color stripe coating (instead of the silver-blue version). This version brings a lot of difficulties and limitation in terms of part picking for the body. It cost quite a lot of bricks. Bricks Count: 1708 pcs. Width: 9.6 studs (7.7 cm) Length: 50.1 studs (38.2 cm) Height: 29.6 studs (23.7 cm) Power: 2x PF L motors See other of my MOCs here ⬇ [MOC] SBB Re 460 locomotive - LEGO Train Tech - Eurobricks Forums [MOC] LEGO PRR class GG1 - LEGO Train Tech - Eurobricks Forums [MOC] REAL BRICKS - PRR class E44 - LEGO Train Tech - Eurobricks Forums

[MOC] SBB Re 460 locomotive
RickyWasAYoungBoy replied to RickyWasAYoungBoy's topic in LEGO Train Tech
An update after more than a year. This is probably the final version before building a real one. It now rocks a redesigned internal structure despite a similar appearance. It can theoretically go on standard curve track now. Powered by 2x PU XL motors (previously 2x PF L motors). Different door rail detailing. A redesigned (mostly internal) roof with a more refined pantograph slot. Better Interior. Totally 1700 pcs (bumped up more than 200 bricks, which I think it's the turn-able chassis with the side skirt that cost a lot) -

Thank you. Actually I built the IC2000 in LDD too in 2012. But it need to be redesigned too because it could hardly go on curves... -

The Re 460 (popularly known as the Lok 2000) series are modern four-axle electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways. The series was introduced as part of the Rail 2000 project, a massive project to modernise and improve capacity on Switzerland's railways. While originally designed as a multipurpose locomotive, they are now used for passenger services only, often in conjunction with the IC 2000 double decker trains (often used to pull InterCity and InterRegio trains in German and French language areas). This one's such a phenominal engine. The first time I tried to MOC the Re 460 was back in 2006 when I first traveled to Switzerland. It was 6-stud-wide. Then in 2012 I made a 8-stud-wide version in LDD. I tried to build it in real bricks in around 2015, but only half finished. The renders here are my latest version in 2020. Bricks Count: 1481 pcs. Width: 8.4 studs (6.72 cm) Length: 50.1 studs (50.1 cm) Height: 19 studs (15.2 cm) See other of my MOCs here ⬇
