LEGO Train 12 Volts

I hate hospitals but this one is a masterpiece! Great internal detail and beautiful colors choice!

WOW! This MOC must be placed in the home page! Beautiful lights effect ...the space port remember me the beginning of the game Mass Effect, the huge garden with those trees is epic! :blush: Stunning work!

The BR53 is longer than all my BR but my longest locomotive is the Big Boy Thanks for all your positive feedback!

Your words lead me to make always new BR! Thanks!

Thanks guys for the very kind words ...I will reduce the wire! Here you can find more videos...

The BR 53-003 is on line! Thanks zephyr1934 ...my crazy project is now completed!

BR 53-003 2-6-8-0 Steam Locomotive Hello Everyone, As previously mentioned here you can see my new BR locomotive The BR 53-003 and especially the cooling water tender couldn’t miss in my BR collection! I decided with my kids to call this locomotive with a friendly nickname "German Big-Boy” because of its huge size and for the structure with double pair of drive wheels and pistons. Historical & technical data Circulate a steam locomotive in countries where water is scarce has always been extremely problematic. One solution was to recover part of the water used, so the Deutsche Reichsbahn decided to experience the condensing tender for military purposes. The technical principle was to recover the exhaust steam, separate from the oil, and conveys it to the tender which had enough space to hold the radiators capacitors. The outside air was aspirated by special fans through the capacitors. The fans were driven by a turbo generator driven by the exhaust steam. Once cooled, the steam is transformed into water and was collected in a tank. Some pumps pushing back the water in the boiler of the locomotive. The vapor loss was in the order of about 10%: this created a closed circuit for 90%. of steam, that in this way was used several times. During the II World War DR German locomotives with cooling fans system were used in Soviet Union, where the water supply was difficult. Moreover, from a strictly military point of view, the elimination of the plume of white steam made locomotives less visible. A great distances could be covered without intermediate water supply, it was possible to cover up to 600 km instead of the usual 150-200 km. By contrast, the complexity of the system, the easy formation of limestone deposits and the problems related to the freezing have limited the use. Despite the satisfactory results, this technique was stopped because of the costs of maintenance and sensitivity of the equipment. Since March I have been involved in the creation of this European goliath, and the most difficult part to be implemented was the tender where the space was really limited to insert the dual battery, the IR receiver, the engine, the fans and the switches hidden in little coal section. The front bogie of the tender has three axles and they are too far away to take corner in a smooth way if they were rigid, so I’ve adopted a system with a central swing axis Thanks to Benn (a.k.a. zephyr1934) I was able to realize with his custom rods a simplified version of Walschaerts Valve Gear with very visual impact. The locomotive is driven by three medium motors hidden underneath the lining of the boiler; this LEGO version of BR 53-003 has real lighs like all my previous locomotives, and respects original proportions of the real model Enjoy the photo & video gallery: [/size]Compare to this (not mine) video: [/size] [/size]

WOW this is a great period for the new MOCs! The cabin is gorgeous with that construction technique and also the SNOT connection between the motor body and the cabin is very impressive! Amazing work!

Beautiful locomotive and excellent construction technique Duq!!! I must hurry up to post my new topic ...the BR locomotives are finishing! Maybe tomorrow...

Very well done Xenomorph ...I like this drone! Nice movie!

Time to pop up this topic to the top Tiger! Excellent second floor and nice scene of real life with the painter and the plumber!

Wonderful work, I like the very low barycentre of this beauty! Just one question: is this model motorized? Superb work!

...you've seen right!

Wow, what a fantastic building technique ...the lamppost in the first picture is wonderfull, and the diamonds at the entrance of the library amazing! I want more mini-masterpiece from you!

Too many compliments my lego friends!

This is too much for me! I can't handle such excellence!

Wow, the second one is too great ...I want it! :wub:

Thanks again for the warm welcome, and for the nice hint about using different colours!

Yeah, I've seen it and it looks very nice ...and your real background is better than mine!

I love these ships ...I only miss the little 918!

Thanks for the kind words ...and yes, many levers for many trains!

Hi everyone, waiting to post my next topic about a new BR (already completed ) I want to share some pictures about my MOD of the original singal box made by "eurotrash". My version has a stone basement and an architecture with arches ...enjoy the few pics ...coming soon a new BR...

Very well done! The truck tractor is gorgeous! :wub: . If I had a so huge and beautiful truck when I was a child I would have gone mad! The refrigerated trailer is my favorite!
