Greetings back (currently in Baar, erm Rotkreuz). Bombardier S15? Which are those? Talent? And Voralpen Express would be interesting indeed, but with Container Locos or Bobo? Sliding doors like on trains is not easily done in LEGO. It's simple for Sci-Fi style doors (think Star Wars or Star Trek). Did you try these (I used those for the 'sicken' look-a-like on the Re 450). @lightningtiger: It's not that hard with MLCAD, every piece of LEGO is available in every color imaginable. I imported it in LDD recently and had to redo almost everything, especially the front, it's now ready for PF. EDIT: I redid the post.

looks real nice. And as I have seen Talgos in real, they are small. The boggies are nicely done as well.

As I really much love trains (in particular swiss electric types) and rail bound transport in general and LEGO are a stable in my life (Dark Ages where only 2000 - 2005), I may as well register for the Train Tech. I'm from Switzerland, love to play and collect Videogames, LEGO Bricks and Trains. In LEGO, if it's not some Technic set of the golden Age (90'-97') it's Star Wars, Cerator or a Train. Sadly, I never had any LEGO-Trains till I got an Emerald Night for my Birthday in 2010, I was always interested in them. Created my first MOC with MLCAD in 2006. Good thing I'm not that ferrophile like some work colleagues, and after seeing the prices for some H0 scale Locos (CHF 850.- for a SBB Ae 4/7, CHF 150.- for a LEGO Emerald Night), I decided to create my eventual layout in L gauge. And I can mix it with Star Wars too! And in perspective to that, I try to create my MOCs with Minifigs in mind. To place Battle Droids in them! MUAHAHHAA!!!1111 Also as I'm too late for 9V, I'll create everything with PF in mind (The RC-sets are horrible in this regard, Line of Sight during all operations). ^- that's me in there.

peterab asked for my MOCs, so here I post those which are in a presentable format. I created the Re 450 from the S-Bahn Zürich once in LDraw, it wasn't only my first train MOC, it was my first LEGO train ever. I'll upload images from LDD at a later date. Original Loco: Also, currently I try to create a Ae 4/7 out of two Emerald Nights, progress halted, it was too high. Have to restart cunstruction. Orignal Loco (the second is just turned around, not different): More to come.

I voted very high, built / designed some trains (4 sets) and except for the Emerald Night, all are Swiss Electric Trains. I grew up with them, with H0 scale and the real thing.

Nice one, see those all the time at work and stuff. It's really well done, can't say much more than praise.

I think it's that the Batteries are used for the Remote Controll, which needs 3 AAs, if I'm not mistaken.
