Hi train fans,
the possible(?) end of 9V trains, the blay desaster and the too high demands
of myself against my MOCs have lead to a kind of frustration in my hobby. Due
to all this and more, I lost a lot of the fun that LEGO meant to me in the
past, but nevertheless here comes a new MOC of mine.

Ben -
It’s nice to see another lovely engine from you again. This seems to be one of
your most detailed yet. And it’s something of a relief to see some steam trains
on lugnet.
I like the boiler design - I like how you don’t compromise if there’s a specific
look you want, however much extra work it takes. The same with using all rimmed
wheels - the use of the rounded bevel gears to synchronise the jointed wheel
blocks instead of using a longitudinal driveshaft is very clever.
I also notice you’ve kept the width down on this engine (particularly the
cylinders), such that it could (almost) scrape through an 8-wide gap. It makes
for a much more sleek-looking model.
And I love the foggy renders. They’re great.
I notice you said you scale the model based on the wheel spacing. I always
start with the wheelbase to determine the size too, though I’ve never tried to
use a scaled drawing for my designs.
But black and red again? I know you don’t trust some Lego colours any more,
but there must be other coloured steam engines from your part of the world...
;-)

I think your engines (and your other creations as displayed during the past days as top entry on the left hand side of this group) don't have to hide, but belong to the most accurate and complex models I have (...)
