I like the models, epecially the Sikorsky but the Eurotunnel loco should be a
Bo-Bo-Bo, i.e. it should have three bogies see
Bo-Bo-Bo config.
This would make and interesting challenge to build to cope with Lego curves >

Oh, this is a great picture! Thanks. I was wondering if this was the case, but
none of the pictures I’d found showed this Bo-Bo-Bo configuration so nicely.
I’ll work on trying to change the wheels out.
le Shuttle is evolving. I’ve tried to make an
alternate nose for the le
Shuttle locomotive at MOCpages:
I accidentally set le Shuttle too low on the tracks. I’ll try to remember to
reset the train ride height in the next version.
The nose is a little long and sharp-pointing near the lights, but it was fun to
realize the use of the slope elements. I’m not sure if this slope construction
will fit quite exactly as modeled in CAD-form, but perhaps a real-brick-build
would be close to fit...or some alternate method work end up fitting it OK.
le Shuttle also has a new train car to transport a small-size lorry; pics at
MOCpages. I real-brick-built the lorry last night, and it has received a couple
of changes to the trailer. I haven’t figured out how to eliminate the “gap” in
SNOT just in front of the cab’s front fender.
Thanks, Tim.
later,
James Mathis
