This loco was originally from the 2010 CITY set 7939 - Cargo Train and first designed in red for my brother. (who ended up not building it in real life after all) I removed the rear cab and replaced it with a personnel door for access to the train and recolored it to yellow for use by me. I then looked back on what I made, and realized it actually resembled a real engine completely on accident! It appears I made a General Electric 'Genesis' series loco, specifically a P42DC as those were the most common of the sub-types. The Genesis types weren't used by freight railroads - just passenger-only carriers like Amtrak or VIA - but this is my railroad and what I say goes! Here we see the front of the locomotive. The rear side of the loco with the crew access door at the very back. The cab front flips up to put a figure at the controls. (I removed the cab roof here to make taking the picture easier.) To read more about the Genesis locomotive types, check out this Wikipedia link. Thoughts? -
Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but I've been building LEGOs for quite a few years. I was surprised upon doing some Googling at how few LEGO models of the P42 have been made, since while it usually isn't well known for it's attractive looks, it is the most commonly used passenger locomotive used in the United States. Since I'm one of the weird ones that actually likes both the look of the Genesis and the Phase V paint scheme, I decided to try my hand at recreating it. It's built to 8 studs wide, though admittedly I sacrificed the scale a bit to make the locomotive taller so as to add more details. Overall, I think I got pretty close to capturing the 'feel' of the real thing. The model is basically hollow inside, and is built to use a battery pack, receiver, and PF motor (note the square-shaped hole on the roof, where the on/off switch would be if the battery pack was installed. Let me know what you think! Link to full-sized images (and more pictures): https://flic.kr/s/aHsm5yC5kC
