Now I'm half way into hell (hi to John Neal): I have build a quite massive
7-wide steam engine after a BR 03 of the German Federal Railway! That was one
of the fastest steam engines out of German prtoduction.

You can find it (including some little explaining text) at my train site under
the original creations.

That train is awesome. Nice realistic detail; I like the mountains in the
background too.

Wie gehts, Ben!  You have built yourself a very fine model!  I really like it
when folk build MOCs which relate to their region.  Are you going to convert it
to 9 volt, or keep it 12?

it:-)

How about 8 thick-n-wide...  :)  It does sound a bit funny in German tho'

Interpret well,

Hi John,

I'm fine, although yesterday was the last day of my summer hollidays...

Since I do own much more 12V stuff than 9V (especially track), I will let this
engine be a 12V version. But I really think about painting a 9V motor in red.
Actually Lego has once released a few test motors in red and one of them got
into German eBay. Although it was heavy used it went far over 100 bucks, which
was too much for my budget.
With a red 9V motor it would be very easy to build a fitting second tender
(in 9V) for that engine, but in black: I think that wouldn't look too good.

Regards,

AFJ-Ben

Very nice steam engine.  I must get some of those wheels.
