Opening the PF motor is simple, provided you have the correct tool. I can't say anything about wear since my 7760 rolled very little. Most negative I recall was the increased rolling resistance, so sometimes the centre wheel did not rotate when driving around.

Next MOC: 1:33 GHH G7.1 (0-8-0) steam locomotive with PF
Selander replied to Sven J's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Stunning......!!!!! -
Following your discussion about wheel size, it seems an 8wide version in scale 1:45 will very well match BBB medium size wheels. 24mm diam * 45 = 1080mm which is pretty close to 1100.
-
Amazing build, very inspiring. With your skills I like to see a similar design but as an 8-wide "little-brother" which should also include PF motorization. If you don't build it it, I am tempted to make a try myself
-
I also like trucks with hook lift!! I did a design a few years ago that you can find in my Flickr - if you have an interest to see a hook which is built differently.
-
Impressive work ! Nice to see further ideas and development in this area which I find so interesting. Also many thanks for your kind recognition of my earlier work in this field. I currently use a version similar like Baard's in my Swedish T44 diesel and think it works alright. But I see your point of making a decoupler with longer stroke. Thanks again and I like to see more if your brilliant designs. PS: How do you like my version of your amazing V100 ? DS
-
Yepp, those trucks look great.
-
Nice truck with good looking colours, excellent detailing and functionality !! It looks like the real thing.
-
Why not try building a blue 4563:ish loco ? That's also a classic design, and I think your chances of coming close (designwise) are much better. To be honest I don't see any 7760 genes in your current model.

Sorry I don't have any instructions or files.

I have made some red german shunters, V60 and V100. Kindly check my Flickr by clicking the link below and you will find many photos. Good luck.

Which 9v freight train set would you prefer 4564 vs 4563 ?
Selander replied to jaesroe's topic in LEGO Train Tech
4564 offers more playability and loco is the best european style freight loco TLG has made to date. -
A topic I find interesting but I think there exists neater and technically superior solutions e g by Baard.
-
Great to see it finished. It came out really well. I can't believe that you crammed in the larger battery box...!!(?) . Any reason for that choice, except it should bring more juice....?

This is my favourite diesel shunter, and I've built it several times.... I present now my latest attempt and it is 8wide in base with a body in various widths from 5-7studs and with lots of 1/2 plate offset to replicate the interesting shape of the original engine. As always it is nice to hear what you trainheads think about it.

All your creations are beautiful, but I like this the most. Colors and design details goes very well together !!
-
Certainly an original idea, but not very train related :-)

Pierre Normandin made this loco back in 2005...... http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=1216643 .

As shown on pictures, the beam can be turned upwards if you grab it with your fingers and push vertically. However, rolling stock buffers will hit it horizontally, and then it will stay in place as it is supported from behind by the technic liftarms (eg. 32250). I do not plan to do crash tests, but I can guarantee these designs are more sturdy than most brickbuilt end track buffers.
-
It's really a coincidence. I was just in the process of looking for ideas for a track end buffer when I saw this topic. After a little research on typical look for these items up where I live, I found out these are typically yellow steel beam structures, so I made two concepts from yellow technic beams/liftarms. Designs are simple but very sturdy due to the use of technic parts. Any comments and/or proposals for improvement are welcome.

Several nice designs, but my favourite is the TR3 followed by the DkTan stockcar. How is the TR3 motorized ?
