  1. BR 59-035 2-12-0 Steam Locomotive Hello Everyone, this is my last (definitively last ...I promise ) Baureihe steam locomotive! The reason why I decided to create this new BR is because I've accepted the challenge proposed by the user Monai to run on a standard lego track a locomotive with six axes in a single rigid frame. The hardest part of the project was assemble the free driving axis very close to the valves; the fun part was to design an original pistons system. Thanks to Zephyr for his usual custom rods (this time he had to make a standard-out ) Thanks to Zephyr also for the custom ladders perfect for access to the top of the boiler Historical & technical data The locomotives of the series 59 were the last steam engines built for overcoming the "Geislingen Steige", 6 km long, sloping 26%, which is on the Stuttgart-Ulm line. This challenging and steep line had forced engineers to study locomotives that they could develop power at low speed. Despite the 6 coupled axes, it was the most spectacular but not the most powerful. Do not overlook the fact that the axes 6 preceded by a carrier driving axis. The small wheel diameter of 1,350 mm, however, required a maximum speed limit of 60 kmh; that is the reason why were too slow on the flat. The locomotive is powered by two motors hidden in the boiler and the motion is transmitted to a 20 teeth gear placed between the third and fourth axle. The drive wheels are on the second, third, fourth and fifth axis (while are free those on the first and sixth axis). As usual the locomotive is equipped with front and rear lights, and on the tender is hidden the battery with the three-position switch: motor on, off, motor + lights on Now enjoy the pictures: Happy Easter! Note: Soon I'll post the video of this locomotive on corners and switches.

  19. Ooooh sweet conclusion of a very long brain activity ...ok the tender has yet to be made but the locomotive "drumroll" : is amazing! And the topic is totally cool with so many details of your first steps picture and video! I like to see for the first time a real pneumatic locomotive and not a block of pieces without any details. Now we want to see the whole work 100% complete!
  20. Gorgeous MOC! Amazing internal details!
