Lego BR 56.20 v2
After seeing Pieter Post 2001 his G12, I inspired me to improve the Baureihe 56.20. I completely redid the calculations for the proportions, making it more accurate to approximately 1/45 scale. This meant changing the distance between the drivers and making her slightly taller. This gave me more room to improve the boiler and details above the drivers. Some inspiration was taken from FLBRICKS recent WIP photos. The PU L-motor is now located inside the boiler, making it possible to look through the locomotive beneath the boiler. Personally, I like the details to be slightly oversized, we're working with Lego after all! Finally, I redesigned the tender, making it smoother and slightly larger, for easier access to the battery box.
Although she can no longer go through R40 curves, I think the MOC is a lot nicer to display. I still might change some things, but that's for the future. It was hard to not take too much inspiration from Pieter Post 2001 G12 which is a masterpiece. Especially since the G8.2 and G12 are very similar IRL. But I still tried to still keep it my own build.
I'll take some nicer, more detailed photos soon!
Let me know what you think!
