    Great job on this model πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ I particularly admire the nose and front windscreen, since these are notoriously difficult to reproduce in this limited scale.

    Those hoppers !!! πŸ€©πŸ€—πŸ‘Œ Really inspiring design πŸ‘

    Once again you have done an incredible work !! What a great source of information.

    Nice model (as I already wrote on Flickr) πŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ Normally (typically) bogies are more narrow than running boards, so in this case, with a 7-wide loco, I would have built bogies standard 6-wide. I believe the overall propotions/looks would be even better that way.

    Thanks for clarifying ! Your design is definitely more "mature" than the original. If I were to build this version, I'd apply a black adhesive foil onto the hub. Then it should almost "disappear".....

    What ?? Power Functions controlled by PuP app πŸ˜‚....that's hilarious...πŸ˜„

    What about the PuP hub ? πŸ€”

    I was thinking the exact same. It looks nice, but it'll pivot strangely given the offset of the three fixed pair of wheels.

    Nice MOD/MOC ! πŸ€—

    Interesting story, and a great evolution of your building skills ! Though the improved/increased number of curved slope elements from TLG certainly helps as well. πŸ‘πŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺ

    Thanks for your kind words, Nikonissen πŸ€—πŸ™Œ. Nice that you also recognized the similarities with one of the Lego factory locomotives, I've long had a soft spot for that version (which I believe was designed by James Mathis)

    Thanks LT12V, you are too kind πŸ₯°πŸ‘πŸ™Œ. Much appreciated πŸ‘

    Thanks Thomas, you are very kind πŸ˜ŠπŸ€—. "Handles" are just very small black stickers. I cut them from an adhesive sheet with help of razor blade and steel ruler...so really simple.

    Thanks a lot πŸ€—. Sure, but the loco in this video is an older version....but the decoupling bogie is functionally the same.

    The last year I've been building a "fleet" of 7-wide locomotives...and here's a cavalcade of five new/or updated/ designs. 1. SJ vintage locomotive, 7*32 studs. Fully motorised with 4ch Technic hub, 2x train motors and 2x LED:s. Design is a "Frankenstein" with design elements taken from old Swedish electric locomotives like F-/Da- and Rc. Here pictured with a same era SJ coach 7*48 studs. 2&3. SJ and Green Cargo locomotives, 7*32 studs. Both, fully motorised with 4ch Technic hub, 2x train motors and 2x LED:s. Design is meant to be a typical modern sleek European electric loco, but it is not based on a certain prototype. They are technically identical except for the splash of color on doors and decals. 4. Vossloh DE18 diesel electric, 7*36 studs. 2ch city hub, 1x train motor in front. Rear bogie has a remote decoupling function driven by a medium motor in the above compartment. 5. Saddle tank steam locomotive Krupp Knapsack. 7-wide, but without any motorisation. This is just a side track "decoration" to stand near my train engine shed...

    Nice teaser....πŸ€—

    Nice set, this new harbour train 60509. Brings back the design and level of playability to it's old cousins 4563 and 4564 from the 9V era. I also think the spacing (8 studs between wheels) are just fine for the two wagons, and it'd be a nice surprise if TLG returns to metal axles wheels. I also like seeing the corrugated panels 23405 in new colors white and light bluish gray which are the most versatile colors for building realistic containers. And that little flatbed truck is a good looker too. 😍

    Absolutely stunning.... brilliant....and very inspiring. The level and attention to detail for each project (...truck, trailer, waggon, ramp mechanism..etc ..etc .) is just mind-blowing....!!!
  19. Selander
    That's a brilliant update πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ€žπŸ˜

    Charming little locomotive, and in 7-wide 😍. But I really dislike your side rod design....it is too clumsy for such a delicate loco. I'd either completely dismiss them, or replace with a static red bar (rigid hose or similar) depending on what looks best....

    What an amazing collection πŸ₯°πŸ€—
  22. Selander
    Good, clean design ! Nice to see more 7-wide locomotives πŸ€—πŸ™Œ
  23. Selander
    Thanks a lot, I appreciate you took these photos! Really clarifying...πŸ€—

    So well designed, and built !!! Masterclass πŸ™ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ How long is the light transmitting cable you use for the lower front lights ?

    If you like to build your own Lego technic based drivetrain in a locomotive, I think the L motor is the best alternative, with it's high torque and fair rotation speed. For an easier "plug and play" experience, but still with a powerful motorization, I'd choose a setup with 2x regular train motors.
