Hello Train Fans
Some of you might know me as a builder of heavy equipment like cranes or
mining shovels.
Here I would like to present my first train MOC, an EMD F7 of the Australian
Mt. Newman Mining Company.

Although there are already lots of LEGO-built F7s, I still like the design of
that specific type. Therefore I searched for a color scheme that has not yet
been copied with LEGO bricks and that was possible to recreate with the parts
in my collection.
The model is fully capable of negotiating curves and switches. A new feature
are the step ladders on the locomotive frame in the region of the trucks
using old style windows. They swing away in curves and therefore make room
for the trucks to swing out.
More pictures can be found on my brickshelf gallery after moderation:

Beat,
great work, you entered “trains” with a splash. You also picked an engine I
really like, the F3/F7s. I’m reworking the design for the Super Cheif, and hope
to post it soon. Adding detail and a recolor as well.
