    New Loco MOC —Alban NANTY
   Hi, I'm pleased to announce my new loco MOC. It's a BB72000, a very common french locomotive. (URL) Of course it's a 8-wide loco :-) I used the 4 differents gray (light-gray, light-bluish-gray, dark-gray and dark-bluish-gray). As a curiosity, the (...)

     (...) That is a very impressive loco and very detailed. The front end is cleverly done, and I expect it would be difficult to do in 6 wide :) Congrats. (18 years ago, 7-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains)
    
         Re: New Loco MOC —Alban NANTY
     (...) Thanks a lot. Yes, that was quite difficult to design. Of course there was several versions and in fact one day I had to rebuild the loco entirely to remove 2 plates in height because I found it to high. The middle of the loco is ashamedly (...)

         Re: New Loco MOC —James Mathis
     (...) Indeed, the front is very well done! I love the orange triangular bib. (...) Yet, stacked very well with good texture and relief. (...) Regardless, a really nice 8-wide with lots of nice little details. Great model! later, James Mathis (18 years ago, 8-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: New Loco MOC —James Mathis
   (...) Alban, I was inspired by your SNOT work on the windscreen to try to use the new 1x1x2/3 slope in replacement of the 1x2 45-deg slope that is either-side of the front windscreen. In CAD, it looks like this: (URL) Notice the 1/2-plate offset (...) (18 years ago, 8-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
   
        Re: New Loco MOC —Gianluca Morelli
   (...) Very good work, Alban, with one of my favourite electric locos (it was the loco in my first Lima toy train...) I have a slightly better solution to James' modification: (URL) and the exploded view: (URL) And yes, James, that slope also exists (...) (18 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
   
        Re: New Loco MOC —James Mathis
   (...) Very nice! And works for less than 8-wide. later, James Mathis (18 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
   
        Re: New Loco MOC —Alban NANTY
   (...) Wow! I'm very honored to have a comment from the brilliant Lego train Designer, aka James Mathis... Thanks a lot James and Gianluca for your help about the front of my loco. Like you, I didn't like the stud of the 1x2 SNOT slope brick, and I (...) (18 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
   
        Re: New Loco MOC —Gianluca Morelli
     (...) Alban, I'm MlCADding your loco with some modifications and with that row of side snotted tiles you don't like. It's a huge work (700+ parts) and I'll show building instructions within 12 hours. I'm pretty sure you'll find them interesting (...) (18 years ago, 11-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
    
         Re: New Loco MOC —Alban NANTY
     (...) Oh! I think it will be difficult to reverse-ingeeniering my loco, since there are a lots of parts assembled in many ways. But congratulation if you succeed! If you are enough patient, I promiss to make the MLCAD soon. Bye. (18 years ago, 12-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
    
         Re: New Loco MOC —Gianluca Morelli
     (...) Reverse engineering is fun! :-PPP here is the link: (URL) alternatively you can download the .ldr file and let mlcad generate the images on your computer, offline... I redesigned your loco eliminating all the tiles' grooves and making it (...) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
    
         Re: New Loco MOC —Alban NANTY
      (...) Oh, nice work. I understand now your second proposition. You seems to be a fanatic of smooth surfaces without any hole! :-) For the vents I notice you used tiles grid. I thought about using these parts, but I wanted to use the plates 1x8 with (...) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
     
          Re: New Loco MOC —Gianluca Morelli
      (...) Yes. I left them 1/5 stud out as the real one. Plus, they're 1 plate shorter (10 instead of 11), so the lower edge is at the same height of the orange line. (...) I noticed it, since they all end with 72xx and not 72xxx... ;-))) But I agree, (...) (18 years ago, 13-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
    
         Re: New Loco MOC —Samarth Moray
     (...) Dude, you are a SNOT psycho... and that's saying a lot coming from (URL) me> ;-). I had a look at those BI and I'm still shocked! Good job with those teeeeny offsets! I'm impressed. Legoswami (18 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

        Re: New Loco MOC —Alban NANTY
   (...) Hi, I've finally finished the modification on my BB7200 loco, and took the time to make some pictures. So I updated my BS galery ((URL)) , here is an exemple of the new version : (URL) One more time, thanks James Mathis and Gianluca Morelli (...) (18 years ago, 26-Feb-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
