Fantastic creation - really very well done.

Perhaps you remember my Swedish red house ? http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=69978 Here are a few more typical Swedish style villas from 1960:s to 1980:s. Comments are welcome.

Marvelous MOC, I get so much inspiration from seeing your work. You are playing in a league of your own....

The spring brick is a good idea, but it's not new to be honest. I saw it almost 10 years ago in a crocodile moc by Eric Brok with the same design shared bogies as yours. I saved a print out of it since I always thought it was a brilliant design. You can also have a look at O-train by Jason Allemann, he's got a clever shared bogie design.

Can't wait to see some pictures....

Nice train MOCs, I recognized both Danish and Norwegian locos (with some Swedish genes). The whole layout is amazing too.

Really nice design ! I too was thinking there is not room for a motor.....or am I mistaken ? If no motor you only turn lights on/off with the switch, right ?

1. mordartre: 3p. 6. silentmode: 2p.

A red windscreen 2x6x2 with TrBlack transparent glass would lower the cost, to make it even more affordable.

@mark bellis: Thanks for sharing your comments. I look very much forward to see your new moc for several reasons: -the use of L motor. -your gear box idea. -and to see your decoupling system (I made a concept for that earlier) I hope you'll present it soon ;-)

It seems the brand new PF L-motor can make a nice power source for MOC engine builders. I made a few concepts as a start and hope you trainheads can come up with more ideas Here's the first concept. As can be seen you can make a simple and robust construction with just a few parts. This has got a 20T to 12T gearing. If o-rings are changed a plate can be added underneath. Here's the second concept, which is almost same except for adding an extra stud to get an uneven wheel spacing. Wheels are BBB medium and becuase of the extra height an extra plate can be attached underneath. I completed this concept with battery and IR-receiver for a test run - and it has got good speed on "full throttle" For even more speed, this concept with 36T to 12T gearing should give a nice boost. Due to the size of 36T, it might however be problematic to add a third center axle (if wanted). Its worth to mention again how few parts are needed and yet it's a robust construction. Comments and new proposals are welcome ! Next I'll build a complete locomotove using one of the above concepts for motorization.

I fully agree with Vincent. I think your previuos Tine truck is more "elegant", than the new tanker.

27 Myko 3points. 39 l@go 2points. Good quality entries overall.

I've earlier built a PF based remote decoupling system using a medium motor installed in a MOC locomotive, (short video in my flickr account) so as soon as I heard about the servo motor I thought that new motor would be a much better choice. When it becomes available I'll look deeper into the subject. So far I haven't considered any more application.....but it'll be interesting to see what you other trainheads come up with.

You are correct, but it's an intentional trade off to get a properly working chassis. I tried BBB medium drivers but wasn't happy with them.

Plan was to show this together with my Klossboda station, but for various reasons it's now a separate thread. DA-class locomotives were the real work horses for SJ-Swedish state railways during a number of years. This is my first 8wide model, and it was a "must" to be able to build a proportional and scalewise correct engine. Chassis is articulated to manage curves and points, and via a technic-brick based powertrain a PF-medium motor powers axles 1 & 3 with TLG large drivers. Body is built with lots of different SNOT technics and has room for IR-received and batterybox. Pantographs by "Steinkopf" are only slightly modified to fit this model. I will now mod some wagons to be 7-wide to go with this engine. Comments welcome. Reference picture:

Certainly: there are DkTan slope 45 deg (1x2) on top of DkTan bricks, and slope 33 (1x3) on top of SandBlue bricks. Each half of roof is held in place by multiple hinges.

Nice building, and good attention to details. Roof looks excellent, and so does the small brown shed.

This is my latest MOC - a railway station built in typical swedish small town style. Klossboda is a fictional name but is sounds Swedish and could mean approximately: "stock of bricks". Main building measures 16x36studs and features DkTan brick walls, a DkOrange "clay tile" roof and a full interiour under a removable roof (2nd floor). Cargo area with a smaller Sandblue "wooden" house. As always it nice to get your comments, if any

Fantastic creation - I enjoyed seeing every bit of it !!

Great building and tram !! Easily recognizeable.

B-RV-15C This is as Swedish as a house can possibly get. "Wooden" red panels with white corners and DkOrange clay roof tiles. Owner also takes pride in owning a green environmental friendly Smart car. C & C welcome as always.

Yet another amazing loco, those round windows are lovely. The design reminds me very much of your Pannier.

Fantastic display ! You have used a good color-scheme, which makes the whole display look more natural. So many nice details to study.Good use of yellow "chairs" under the hopper waggon TDGS. Well done.
