Nice, that you like it, but sorry, there's no LDD, I build only in real world Greetings Frank

Thank you and sorry... I hope, the pictures are now o.k.

You are right, the pulley as primery drive is not strong enough, so the pulley and the middle main axle are connected to the PF-motor. The first drive axle can't, because there is no space, the motor sitting over there. But that's no problem, the first and the 3rd main axle are connected through the connecting rod. On the 1189 is no need for an offset between pulley and main wheels, the axles are in the same line. But the SBB Ce 6/8 III has a similar construction like the EE 3/3. The axel of the pulley are one plate higher than the axles of the main wheels. The middle main axle is connected to the PF-motor, the rest is connected through the connection rods: The wheels of the 1089 are from the Emerald, but the large BBB wheels are also good enough, see my other crocodiles. Thank's for your compliments.

Dear all, after one year (with breaks) I finished my 3rd Crocodile, an austrian ÖBB 1189. There was only one machine colored in red in the 1970's. The large wheels are from 2 Emeralds. The locomotive has 2 PF-motors in the front and IR and akku in the middle. On a switch point you can see, why this loco called "crocodile" :-) More pictures and a video you can see here. Now the familiy are completed :-) I hope you like this MOC...
