Hi Max, what should I say / write? I find the train nice, very very nice. With a distinctive design. The length of the cars is impressive. How long is a Wagon? How long is the total train? I take my hat off to you. Best regards Udo PS: Is your wife always so tolerant? I get evil looks when I use the dining table for too long.

Hello alias jtlan What a "monster". 0-6-2 + 2-4-2-4-2 + 2-6-0 unbelievable. All the better as it travels over the railroad tracks to the switch. Congratulations Best regards Udo

Hello community, thank you for looking. and thank you for your friendly and positive comments. Best regards Udo

Hello Lego community, it's much time has passed. More than I thought. Not only fortnight. Unfortunately, I have six weeks needed. But now it runs but the BR 23 Unfortunately, not quite as bubbly. I had hoped for more speed and even more pulling power. Best regards Udo

A very beautiful work. Great layout. Many Loving details. The Oil Drum Ooops. come back bacon. The locomotive. The timber loading crane. I like it very much. Best regards Udo

Hello alias bmacro your locomotives make me speechless Best regards Udo PS: I'm Envious

Hello Sven, a very nice locomotive, beautiful cars, beautiful set in scene. I take my hat off to you. Best regards Udo

Hello alias Barduck, you ask what I want. I wants the my locomotives in her size to each other fit. The BR 01 is my first Steam locomotive. The original BR 01 is 23,94 meters long (= 78,543 Foot). My Lego BR 01 is approx. 70 nubs long. The original BR 23 is 21,32 meters long (= 69,963 Foot). My Lego BR 23 is approx. 62 nubs long. If you that after calculated agreed that size ratio the locomotives approx. to each other. An original BR 53 would be 27.35 meters long (89.730 = Foot). At Lego corresponds that approx. 79 nubs. For a Erie 2-8-8-8-2 have I until now the following numbers found. Length over all : of 102 to 105 Foot ( 31,09 Meter to 32,08 Meter ) ((The numbers varying) Original from 31.09 to 32.08 meters = about 90 to 94 nubs Firebox : 162 X 108 Inch ( = 4,11 Meter x 2,74 Meter ) interesting numbers for the width the Lok. Primarily is Lego a toy, for children. I can so much to build. But unfortunately not everything. But my locos should the reals difference in size if possible mirroring. Best regards Udo Met vriendelijke groet Udo

Hello alias Barduck , I had you better and more easily written in Dutch , right? French does not go with me unfortunately . Next in bad English. Is your Real built Virginian 2-8-8-8-4 (photo next to the Emerald Night LEGO 10194 ) which I really like . So constructed as shown in the first screenshot ( against white background) . Or on the other screenshot ( " bluish " background) Against the white background of the steam - boiler front is 6 wide (front gray tank range) rear 7 wide (black boiler section) Before the " bluish " light of the steam - boiler front is 7 wide (front gray tank area) rear 8 wide (black boiler section) The version before the " bluish " background 8 would far better to my rather large steam engines fit BR 01 , BR 23 and my version of the Emerald Night. The " proportions " are important to me , the three are not small : which would then look like this about ( a faster trial for the comparative sizes ) my cab : https://fbcdn-sphoto..._25091900_n.jpg Your Guide House https://farm9.static...d3b86ffaa_z.jpg I need facts and reliable figures . And despite WWW I find nothing . Sincerely Udo aka ust60

Hi Emanuele, I really like you. I like your ideas. I like your design. I like your beautiful locomotives. But now I will not like you. ........................... This is of course just a joke. Every time I have an idea for a steam engine, you're getting faster. I have an idea and you have the locomotive. BR 01, BR 23, BR 53, and now the Beast How do you do that? Is Lego locomotives build your profession? The last picture in your report, totally fascinates me. I saved it on my computer. 2-8-8-8-2 Erie Triplex your like me. But I wonder. whether one should not build the locomotive more larger? Do you have some fact found? Length, width, height and diameter boiler. A friendly Lego model builders from USA wrote to me: "the drivers on the triplex only 56", the only 142cm " Were the men on the old black and white photo all Gnomes? Best regards Udo

Hello alias zephyr1934 these are really very fine things you produce. Whether your steam locomotive rod linkage or now the minifigures accessories. In my Future steam locomotives, I'll probably not get along without your products. Sincerely Udo aka ust60

Hi Emanuele, you make me speechless ............... what can I say / write,.................... very, very nice. Best regards Udo

Hello alias BMW a nice idea, a nice implementing, and a beautiful train. Best regards Udo

I'm not a railroad professional. My knowledge of railways is being read. Most read at Wikipedia. I think a 7 (seven) wide, for example, a diesel locomotive can still drive on the same system, such as a 6 (six) wide original Lego - Lok. It's just my taste talking here. Not my ambition. Lego is my hobby now because my eyes need reading glasses. Today I need a digital vernier caliper / slide gauge because I can read the large display better. When I was younger I got my truck models built himself. Measure accurately to 0.05 mm. At his own machines. When Lego - Train, I see that much more relaxed to days. Primarily has to like. Lego is and remains primarily a child's toy. If you try a special Lok to recreate as a model, it's nice when other Lego model builder to "recognize" them the original. See currently Sérgio Monster CP1900 Wiki writes track width of the German railway - Rails = 1435 mm. The dimensions of the steam locomotive BR 23, according to Wiki: Length over buffers = 21,325 mm Height = 4,550 mm Width = 3.050 mm that is: The locomotive is at its widest point, twice as wide as the rail tracks below. There is a saying in German. I do not whether you can translate it. I know him from my grandmother: "Not nice is nice, liked makes you beautiful ( creates beauty). Best regards Udo I almost forgot. A locomotive must be functional, is in my opinion the most important. I do not build locomotives for glass showcases, they have to narrow Lego - drive curves, and turnouts

Hello Carl how much I like your models, and I treasures your work very much, I've already told you. That you are trying your models in scale according to models of track 0 rebuild, I did not know. Seven is far more reserved in my model considerations diesel locomotives and wagons. At my "love" the steam locomotives are actually eight far "planned" but when you look closely, there are also times nine or ten in the cab with boarding handles. I actually used the Internet as a template on Google Images "model (BR - 23)" to enter and read a lot, looking much. Best regards Udo

Hi Sérgio, looks very good, the original very well modeled. Best regards Udo

Hello Murdoch17, your LDD designs rich to fill its own library. Even your real locomotives and wagons like. My respect for your work. Best regards Udo

Hello forum community, the "not running" BR 23, the next act on 14.04, new engines ordered four should be, to demand that all engines tested and operability are the seller a message sorry can only send three, one is broken, bul ...... But joy of 17.04, just in time before the holidays came in the mail, the extremely fast on the 14th ordered on 17 Delivered pointed three engines, this afternoon completed all obligations, finally time to take care of the motors, and installation to tackle and then this: I actually made ​​the video just for the non-German seller, have already written him'm excited to see what he replies, whom he answers that, I get on PayPal actually back to my money? Does anyone have similar experiences of you who so which ones? Best regards Udo

Hello Lego community, Bull sh.. that engines built 9 volts do not have enough power. The BR 23 ride not really good. I need to order other engines at Bricklink. Best regards Udo

Hello LEGO Train 12 Volts A truly beautiful work. Seven is far more difficult than six or eight wide. You have a model very well made. (Correctly reconstructed) Best regards Udo

Hello Murdoch17 This will be a great conditioning. Very fine things that you design. Best regards Udo

Hello forum users, I am very pleased. So many friendly and positive reply to my post. The modification of the Horizon Express is indeed not a new idea. And I'm just a further with a modified remodeling. Especially for LucasLaughing, do you mean those curves? Especially for Legogal, if speed so fascinated you should holiday in Germany make. The German high-speed train is the ICE. He reached the passengers with a top speed of over 300 km / h are 186.41 mph And of Cologne you can take the TGV to Paris. In many parts of the German " Autobahn " you can drive as fast as you want or the car may, silky traffic rules limit you. Especially for kieran, yes there were three sets Best regards Udo

Hello Lego community, English is not my native language, but I want you to meet my three fat old ladies steam. But wait in turn. First, I have the Horizon Express Lego - Set Number: 10233 completed. I call him TGV he stood since May 2013 for dining room, waiting for its completion. Like many others, I have extended the drive wagons and each wagon to eight knobs. And the Jakobs bogies slightly modified. After all the work he now has a total length of about two meters, 78.74 inches 6:56 foot. From it there is a small video. Now to the actual topic of steam locomotives. My second "job site" next to the Horizon Express was the Emerald Night Lego - Set No. 10194th Of these, two were in the basement on my desk. There they dusty since the summer of 2011. The Emerald Night is a not so much beloved project. I think it shows. Dark green is very limited shade, and ........... not really succeeded in combination with black. Thanks to the chassis, the Teddy BR 01 is similar to that comes the Emerald but well over course and also by Lego standard curves. The drive motors are installed in the boiler. I just have to find a place for current collectors. A video will follow. Best regards Udo We'll see in Part II

Finally, the BR 23 The BR 23 of my fellow countryman Ben Beneke is well known worldwide. The instruction has been made public, http://railbricks.co...og/br-23-001-l/ for example here Ben. It is I think a true classic. She was often copied, but also awareness Unconsciously, she was often template. I am thrilled with the version of Thorsten Benter in its BR 23, working two old 9 volt motors, and are working very well. I also wanted. So my BR 23 is not a one to one copy. You should definitely remember the original. But they should also show my handwriting. that is the seven-wide boiler. I am very happy with it. If the motors are connected will be followed by her video. At this point, big thank you to Michael (efferman) for his help in the primary chassis Best regards Udo
