Hi Everyone
Just wanted to share a few photos of my recent build of James Mathis’ Dutch
DD-IRM “Regiorunner”.
Brickshelf gallery here:

James’ original gallery here:

My version has a black roofline and detailing purely because of parts
availability. Dark grey would have looked better but sadly it would have been
impossible to build.
Each engine and car is also four studs shorter than James’ original design.
After building and test running an engine, it felt rather too awkward cornering
standard 180-degree LEGO train curves. Dropping four studs from each engine and
car made a noticeable difference to it’s apppearance on the track without
detracting from the overall look of the set.
I really like the look of the real-life DD-IRM and I think this design captures
that look well. A big “thanks” to James for sharing his work!
Martin
