Glad you like it.
Amazing, eh? Well, perhaps that is due in part to a liberal use of
non-standard color elements. In particular, I used red 9v train motor
decorative side pieces. (LEGO(R) made gray ones. How about a parts
accessory pack with red and gray for a couple of dollars?)
Here's version 2:
- MLCad .mpd file available (not real instructions, nor logical steps, andI
don't guarantee the best construction integrity, for I haven't real-built
all of this set. I wish I could!)
- regarding instructions: sorry, but I don't feel like taking the time to
sort out steps for this set right now. I hope the .mpd file is good enough
for the moment.
- still only shown in CAD/POV form
- Slight body modifications and addition of a matching blue cargo car
baggage(?) car. I had the blue car built, but I forgot to put on the train
for version 1.

I also used some green and brown that may not exist as main-stream parts.
Particularly the green 1x6x1 arch bricks.
Also, the special "bumpy" bricks on the car roofs (rooves?!??). I never
paid much attention to these "bumpy" bricks in my collection.
I don't know exactly how many "unavailable" pieces I used, but it's enough
to impact the look of the train if it were to built from real bricks.
Anyway, this Spanish Brotli Bahn train was a real train. I don't have any
website photo references. I modeled this from a photo of a Marklin model
train catalog. The accompanying text in the catalog says this was the first
passenger train on the first Swiss railroad (year 1847). The Marklin set is
model #28471 and #26471 for AC 3-rail and by Trix as #T21209 for DC 2-rail.
I haven't been able to find this set at Marklin's web site, either.
I have built a design study of the locomotive of this Swiss Adler train--
just the front with black radar dish, macaronis, 1x3 brick wedges, and the
brown barrels. I still have a remaining attachment issue with the stuff on
top of the brown barrels.
later,
James Mathis

| Hi James, I haven't been at brickshelf's recent uploads in the past days. Very very nice new train models out or your PC! I know the Interregio very well because I use it to travel to my parents. The one I use is always a mixture of blue-white (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-02, to lugnet.trains)
