Welcome to the Brick Railroad.

The scenic train shown here consists of a historic locomotive and three wagons.

The locomotive reflects its condition in the early 1970s, when some examples were converted from their original red/metallic look to a blue/yellow look. I chose this color combination because it allowed the curves to be reprensented with corresponding bricks without the need for additional stickers.

The three wagons include (where possible) appropriate interior furnishings (see pictures). The colors schema of the wagons was taken from well-known railways lines/trains from the 50s to 70s.

In addition to the visual appeal, attention was also paid to ensuring that the locomotive can be retrofitted with motors and can handle modern track curves without any problems. It can be switched on and off using a button, so opening the locomotive is not necessary.

Possible motorization (not included with the model) is as follows:

PowerUp Train motor + PowerUp battery box
or
PowerUp L-Motor + PowerUp battery box
or
2 x PowerUp L-Motors + PowerUp battery box

For simple operation of the train, a single train motor or an L-Motor is sufficient. This makes the train not only an eye-catcher as a display piece, but can also become a highlight on your layout.

If you like this model, please make sure to vote her on Bricklink and share it with your friends. Comments are also very welcome.
