Paperinik77pk (AlCapone)
Lego FS E424 H0 1:87
A complete redesign of my E.424 to make it smaller, more realistic (my previous one was too high),motorized and compatible with H0 tracks. I still stick to the Athearn locomotives Hi-F system since it is the most simple way not to use too much modified Lego parts. DC wheels are from Piko, and are specifically used in Piko rubber band transmission locomotives. Motor is a small 6-12v N20 or N30 @1000rpm. Traction is only on the rear bogie.
I think it will need some weights on the powered bogie to increase traction. All non-Lego parts were either designed or remixed by me in Tinkercad, and then imported in Stud.io trough Parts Designer. Early version of the E424 in two-tone brown colour is shown here.
