Gianluca, I think your second proposition won’t help me because I need the
brackets for a half-stud height shift (and not for a decorative purpose).
Now I have to order some new parts on Bricklinks, and I will make new
pictures in few weeks when I’ll get the parts.
One more time, thank you so much you two for your precious help!
Yours.

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 :-PPPPP
Au revoir,
Gianluca

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.

Reverse engineering is fun! :-PPP
here is the link:

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
smoother. I also designed the underframe (side tanks) so that it shows less gaps
between parts.
Hope it helps you and, by the way, you built a great MOC.
Gianluca
PS the only thing I’d really change is the orange line: I don’t like much the
zig-zag gaps (tiles put at 45 degrees don’t fill completely the angled space)
and I’d redesign the nose, which seems too high to me. In particular, the orange
line should become narrower, moving from the center to the nose. I’ll probably
make it 2 plates high in the center and one plate high in the nose, with a 1.5
plates high transition. But this means TOTALLY redesigning the loco. Which is as
complicated as the reverse engineering, so it MUST be done, hehehehe...

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 door rail to make some relief. Moreover
I already use this technic for my FL9 Loco, so I wanted to change a bit :-)
Finally I spend my afternoon to finish the MLCAD of my loco, you can find it
here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Banban/BB7200-Loco/bb7200.mpd
Now I think I’m totaly satisfied with this version.

Yes of course, and thanks again for your help.

OK, sure! You’re welcome to try your own version of this loco!
Yours.
PS: I made a mistake in my first post, I think this loco is a BB7200, not 72000,
but it’s not really important :-)

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, it’s not that important :-))
Ciao,

Dude, you are a SNOT psycho... and that’s saying a lot coming from
me ;-). I had a look at
those BI and I’m still shocked! Good job with those teeeeny offsets! I’m
impressed.
