Hello,

Here is a french BB62400 in blue color that is normally used for freight trains and mostly in multiple units.

Sorry for the colors, it should be classic blue, but looks like Maersk blue just because the image is too yellow.



It is made in 6 stud width with many simplifications.

Some but few SNOT in it, and with the help of Erik Amzallag the small windows of the cabin are placed with less than a stud width. Here is a small .ldr file (http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/frogleap/Trains/BB62400/fenetrebb62400.ldr) to help you catch the trick.

See pictures of the real one (http://www.train-rail.com/materiel/motrices/diesel/bb_62400/) in situation.

Thanks for comments,

Philippe “frogleap” Label, FreeLUG member

(...) ... (...) Bonjour Philippe et Erik This technique incredibly rich !! 1. Use of the 1x1 Technic brick for SNOT orientation needed for the 0.4 stud gap by the plate. In fact not a plate but a 2x2 corner plate because the stud is a bit higher (...) (19 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
