Well I am 98% done with Version 1. The only thing I have left is the
Conductor Control Room for my Minifigs. I didn't built it because I am trying
to make it as close to the real thing as possible. I spent alot of time coming
up with a creative look for the Furnace. I needed something to breakup the Long
cylinder look. I personally like it however, the engine just doesn't look
complete without the conductors control room.
Also, I had a few email's about Powering, I ran some tests with the 9v(5300)
in various locations. The best result was 2 (9v) in the tender box. I had to
weight it down though. The coal tender box is 6 LBS. WOW, its heavy but it
gets great traction. so whats the weight? (3) 2x6x3 weight blocks and one Old
4.5 Motor from an old Lego train I had.
I already see some changes I am going to make to seem "MORE REAL", my goal was
to first see if I could do it. So I guess I can say Mission accomplished. I
still have the Switch/Crossing track issue to fix but, that will be a breeze.
Here's some Cheesy picts just to get an Idea of size. The over all length is 6
straight tracks, (WOW)
