I'm working on this model since September 2021, this is a 1:45 Scale Replica of the Portuguese Electric Locomotive CP2620, my favorite one.
I did one 6wide model several years ago it was my first MOC as an AFOL in 2008.
I Was a fan of the Raised NS1800 model, so I contact him to ask if he doesn't mind if I use some of his ideas and design and applied them to my model since NS1800 and CP2620 are descended from the French Nez Cassé BB7200, they are similar in size and shape, but in the same time very different in details, so I could not just do a copy and change the color. Raised agreed with my idea to replicate the Portuguese Nez Cassé, and this is the result.
- It's a 1:45 scale (European standards)
- 8 studs wide
- 44 Cm long
- Around 2000 parts
- 2 Large Power functions motor
- Buwizz 2.0
- Other custom parts like U-clip from brick arms, neodymium magnets, and non-LEGO micro LEDs
- Custom Vynil stickers
- Can make R40 Curves, but I don't use that curves but R120 from Bricktracks
This Locomotive is part of a project where Raised, Erwin, Nicolas , and myself in a partnership with HA bricks will be released premium instructions for several Nez Cassé models based on the BB7200, and the first is scheduled for the end of this year and will be the Dutch version NS1600

If.... The R34 goes to Dakar rally
The "SPAM" its a personal joke with Sergio Baptista from www.instagram.com/brickrails/
To release one earth-shatteringly brilliant arcade racing game is impressive enough, but to produce two in as many years starts to look a bit like showing off. Just one year after Daytona USA was released, decimating pocket money supplies everywhere, Sega Rally beckoned us back into the Megabowl with its iconic real-world rally cars, mixed surface stages and pliant, drifty handling.
Settle into the hard plastic bucket seat and you're presented with a difficult choice between the brilliantly nippy short-wheelbase Lancia Delta Integrale or the more powerful but unwieldy Toyota Celica GT-Four, both adorned in their legendary WRC liveries. You'd have less trouble picking a favourite child.
Championship mode is a mad dash across three varied stages, as you claw your way up the rankings, sawing away at the force feedback steering and hoping to finish in first place by the end of the final Mountain course. Achieve that and you'd unlock a secret fourth stage, set during a stunning autumnal sunset and reserved for only the most talented digital rallyists.
Sega Rally's ultimate challenge, Lakeside featured a muddy, low grip surface, unforgiving barriers that slow your car to a crawl and sections so narrow you needed to be micron-perfect with your powerslides. Win that stage somehow, completing the game, and you could reasonably expect a polite round of applause from the group of spectators that had inevitably gathered around the arcade cabinet.

Sega Rally is an off-road racing game, in which players drive rally cars across one of four tracks as quickly as possible. Like prior Sega arcade racing games, Sega Rally enforces a strict time limit and a checkpoint system - success is measured by how fast the player can navigate the three standard tracks before either crossing the final finish line or retiring due to the timer running out.
Sega Rally is notable for being the first racing game to allow players to drive on different surfaces, including including asphalt, gravel and mud. Each surface has different friction properties which adjust the car's handling accordingly. Prior to Sega Rally's release, racing games often took a more simplified approach to differing surface types - grass for example might simply reduce the top speed of the car, not affect handling, leading to unrealistic results. These features allow Sega Rally to stand out as a true "rally" game, a sport very much dictated by road surfaces, rather than a generic racing game with rally-esque settings.
The Lancia Stratos HF is the "hidden" car in the home versions of Sega Rally, although featured predominantly in Sega Rally 2 and in most Sega Rally games since. It is the oldest car of the trio, though is a iconic vehicle in rallying after winning the WRC in 1974, 1975 and 1976 (and the driver's championship in 1977). The Stratos is the most powerful car in-game but comes with the price of floatier handling (attributed to the fact that it is two-wheel drive, not four).
The Stratos is unlocked by finishing first on the Lakeside track in either the Saturn or PC versions. It does not exist in the arcade game.

"Gran Turismo commemorates the return of the legendary Le Mans-winning machine by offering its own interpretation."
As a stunning new take on a legendary racing car, the new Ford GT supercar was launched in the summer of 2004, to commemorate the company's 100th anniversary. As a reinterpretation of the classic 1960's GT40 that won four straight 24 Hours of Le Mans races, this new version featured the latest and greatest automotive technology. With that in mind, Gran Turismo decided to make a good thing even better by creating its own Ford GT to contemporary Le Mans specs. We call it the Ford GT LM Race Car.
The powertrain remains the same as that found in the production Ford GT, a supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8, mounted amidships behind the seats. But the 550 HP output from the stock version has been boosted to a whopping 592 HP in this race-car model. A 6-speed manual race-spec gearbox has also been added.
The LM Race Car has the identical proportions as that of the stock Ford GT, measuring 15.1 ft. from bumper to bumper and 6.3 ft. wide. The chassis is an aluminum space frame design incorporating all of the latest automotive technologies, and the body is composed entirely of carbon-fiber. A large rear wing for increased downforce has also been added. The suspension system consists of a double-wishbone configuration fore and aft. Total curb weight: just 1150 kg.

The Nissan GT-R NISMO '17 is a road car produced by Nissan. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport (as part of Update 1.15) and Gran Turismo 7.
The GT-R NISMO debuted in 2014 as the highest performance grade model of the R35 GT-R. Since then it had remained popular with no major modifications until the summer of 2016, where the 2017 model GT-R NISMO with various improvements was finally introduced.
The characteristic GT-R NISMO bonded body using structural adhesives for improving the rigidity of the car, the utilisation of GT3 turbines, and the tuned engine producing 591 BHP / 66.5 kgfm remained pretty much the same. But in the 2017 model the front window frame of the body was reinforced for further improvements in rigidity, and suspension settings were revised down to the Damp Tronic ECU, improving urban comfort to driving on the edge while cornering on a circuit.
Another important change was the aerodynamics. The front under spoiler and bumper with canard shaped fins on both sides, the rear spoiler and bumper was designed by an aerodynamics engineer who works on the Super GT race car for the road. By doing so, the downforce at 300 km/h is 100 kg stronger than the standard.

It is not a surprise that the Need for Speed series has had plenty of iconic and legendary cars that we played with during our formative years. Many entries in the franchise have focused on story-driven plots, making us all the more involved through the cars we drove.
Another such legendary car is the Nissan 350Z from 2004's NFS Underground 2. Publisher Electronic Arts released the game at the perfect time when street racing and car tuning were at the peak of their popularity thanks to the Fast and Furious series and the success of the first NFS Underground. The 350Z was one of the fastest cars in the entire franchise, and it became a drifting icon not just in the game, but in the real world as well.
Rachel gives the player a tutorial at the beginning of Need for Speed: Underground 2, which includes how to use the SMS system, minimap and how to access events. She lets the player drive her Nissan 350Z to meet her at a car dealership.

Rockstar and West Coast Customs Present the 2013 GTAV Bravado Banshee
September 3, 2013
Ever since its debut as the getaway car in the opening moments of Grand Theft Auto III, the Bravado Banshee has been a symbol of the ultimate American sports car. With its aggressive, oversized styling and powerful engine, it became a mainstay as one of the most sought after high-performance rides from coast to coast - from Liberty City all the way to Los Santos...
Significant work went into creating this real world version of the 2013 model featured in Grand Theft Auto V. Utilizing state-of-the-art fabrication technologies, molds for the exterior were cut and machined piece-by-piece for the high performance base vehicle. With these molds each panel was laid out by hand to create an entirely new exterior resulting in a screen accurate reproduction of the Banshee.
Referencing the model and textures of the in-game car, the interior was handcrafted and stitched to capture the look and feel of its detailed cockpit, with seats upholstered and embroidered with the Banshee name and insignia. The dashboard, door panels and center console were reconfigured and finished with carbon inlays. And finally, a multi-speaker premium sound system was installed before giving it the iconic metallic blue exterior complete with ice white racing stripe.
The result is a one-of-kind supercar worthy of representing the Banshee's heritage and a tribute to some of the deep customization options you'll find in the Los Santos Customs shops of GTA V, where you can equip and style your vehicles with a wide range of visual and performance-based enhancements.

The 2001 BMW M3 GTR GT (E46) is a race car developed by BMW based on their M3 E46.
It competed during the 2001 racing season under both the BMW Motorsport and Team Schnitzer teams, with the car being entered in the GT class of The American Le Mans Championship and the European Le Mans Series.
The car first entered the GT class of the American Le Mans Series in 2000, in which it only took a single victory and was beaten on several occasions by the Porsche 911 GT3-R.
A newly developed P60B40 V8 engine was quickly placed into the race car before the beginning of the racing 2001 season. It was developed alongside the BMW V10 engine that was used to power Williams Formula 1 cars during the 2001 F1 season.
The BMW M3 GTR appears in Need for Speed: Most Wanted and is available from the beginning of the career mode.
The career partially revolves around the M3 GTR as it is the player's car at the beginning of the game until it is sabotaged. The car will be returned to the player after defeating Blacklist racer 1 - Razor - which also unlocks it for Quick Race play.

When Out Run arrived in arcades in 1986 it instantly transported you from standing in a sticky puddle of spilt Fanta at your local Megabowl to embarking upon the greatest road trip gaming had ever seen. You'd pick your favourite tune by twiddling the dial on the FM radio and, with a chirp of the tyres, pull up to the start of a Cannonball Run-esque dash across the continent. This is a game that understood the romantic pull of the open road and, better yet, was able to emulate it on technology that nowadays you wouldn't trust to run a mixed load cycle on your washing machine.
It was the sheer speed of the thing that was most intoxicating, though. The breakneck pace at which you scythed past traffic was unprecedented at the time and was paired with the tactile rush of jamming the shifter into high gear and clinging onto the cabinet's chunky wheel for dear life as the kph figure climbed.
Boasting scenery that evolved as you completed each stage and a choice of routes to five different finish lines, Out Run also had surprising depth for a game designed solely to swallow as much of your pocket money as possible. And with whiplash-inducing sequences of high speed corners on the more challenging routes, anyone determined to complete it could expect to shell out a small fortune in shiny pound coins for the privilege. Although as far as we’re concerned, for a spot on the high scores board and a steamy 15 minutes with the best arcade racer of the ‘80s, that’s fine value.

Like prior Sega arcade racing games, Sega Rally enforces a strict time limit and a checkpoint system - success is measured by how fast the player can navigate the three standard tracks before either crossing the final finish line or retiring due to the timer running out.
Sega Rally is notable for being the first racing game to allow players to drive on different surfaces, including including asphalt, gravel and mud. Each surface has different friction properties which adjust the car's handling accordingly. Prior to Sega Rally's release, racing games often took a more simplified approach to differing surface types - grass for example might simply reduce the top speed of the car, not affect handling, leading to unrealistic results. These features allow Sega Rally to stand out as a true "rally" game, a sport very much dictated by road surfaces, rather than a generic racing game with rally-esque settings.
The Lancia Stratos HF is the "hidden" car in the home versions of Sega Rally, although featured predominantly in Sega Rally 2 and in most Sega Rally games since. It is the oldest car of the trio, though is a iconic vehicle in rallying after winning the WRC in 1974, 1975 and 1976 (and the driver's championship in 1977). The Stratos is the most powerful car in-game but comes with the price of floatier handling (attributed to the fact that it is two-wheel drive, not four).
The Stratos is unlocked by finishing first on the Lakeside track in either the Saturn or PC versions. It does not exist in the arcade game.

The Nissan GT-R NISMO '17 is a road car produced by Nissan. It appears in Gran Turismo Sport (as part of Update 1.15) and Gran Turismo 7.
The GT-R NISMO debuted in 2014 as the highest performance grade model of the R35 GT-R. Since then it had remained popular with no major modifications until the summer of 2016, where the 2017 model GT-R NISMO with various improvements was finally introduced.
The characteristic GT-R NISMO bonded body using structural adhesives for improving the rigidity of the car, the utilisation of GT3 turbines, and the tuned engine producing 591 BHP / 66.5 kgfm remained pretty much the same. But in the 2017 model the front window frame of the body was reinforced for further improvements in rigidity, and suspension settings were revised down to the Damp Tronic ECU, improving urban comfort to driving on the edge while cornering on a circuit.
Another important change was the aerodynamics. The front under spoiler and bumper with canard shaped fins on both sides, the rear spoiler and bumper was designed by an aerodynamics engineer who works on the Super GT race car for the road. By doing so, the downforce at 300 km/h is 100 kg stronger than the standard.

It is not a surprise that the Need for Speed series has had plenty of iconic and legendary cars that we played with during our formative years. Many entries in the franchise have focused on story-driven plots, making us all the more involved through the cars we drove.
Another such legendary car is the Nissan 350Z from 2004's NFS Underground 2. Publisher Electronic Arts released the game at the perfect time when street racing and car tuning were at the peak of their popularity thanks to the Fast and Furious series and the success of the first NFS Underground. The 350Z was one of the fastest cars in the entire franchise, and it became a drifting icon not just in the game, but in the real world as well.
Rachel gives the player a tutorial at the beginning of Need for Speed: Underground 2, which includes how to use the SMS system, minimap and how to access events. She lets the player drive her Nissan 350Z to meet her at a car dealership.

The 2001 BMW M3 GTR GT (E46) is a race car developed by BMW based on their M3 E46.
It competed during the 2001 racing season under both the BMW Motorsport and Team Schnitzer teams, with the car being entered in the GT class of The American Le Mans Championship and the European Le Mans Series.
The car first entered the GT class of the American Le Mans Series in 2000, in which it only took a single victory and was beaten on several occasions by the Porsche 911 GT3-R.
A newly developed P60B40 V8 engine was quickly placed into the race car before the beginning of the racing 2001 season. It was developed alongside the BMW V10 engine that was used to power Williams Formula 1 cars during the 2001 F1 season.
The BMW M3 GTR appears in Need for Speed: Most Wanted and is available from the beginning of the career mode.
The career partially revolves around the M3 GTR as it is the player's car at the beginning of the game until it is sabotaged. The car will be returned to the player after defeating Blacklist racer 1 - Razor - which also unlocks it for Quick Race play.

To release one earth-shatteringly brilliant arcade racing game is impressive enough, but to produce two in as many years starts to look a bit like showing off. Just one year after Daytona USA was released, decimating pocket money supplies everywhere, Sega Rally beckoned us back into the Megabowl with its iconic real-world rally cars, mixed surface stages and pliant, drifty handling.
Settle into the hard plastic bucket seat and you're presented with a difficult choice between the brilliantly nippy short-wheelbase Lancia Delta Integrale or the more powerful but unwieldy Toyota Celica GT-Four, both adorned in their legendary WRC liveries. You'd have less trouble picking a favourite child.
Championship mode is a mad dash across three varied stages, as you claw your way up the rankings, sawing away at the force feedback steering and hoping to finish in first place by the end of the final Mountain course. Achieve that and you'd unlock a secret fourth stage, set during a stunning autumnal sunset and reserved for only the most talented digital rallyists.
Sega Rally's ultimate challenge, Lakeside featured a muddy, low grip surface, unforgiving barriers that slow your car to a crawl and sections so narrow you needed to be micron-perfect with your powerslides. Win that stage somehow, completing the game, and you could reasonably expect a polite round of applause from the group of spectators that had inevitably gathered around the arcade cabinet.

"Gran Turismo commemorates the return of the legendary Le Mans-winning machine by offering its own interpretation."
As a stunning new take on a legendary racing car, the new Ford GT supercar was launched in the summer of 2004, to commemorate the company's 100th anniversary. As a reinterpretation of the classic 1960's GT40 that won four straight 24 Hours of Le Mans races, this new version featured the latest and greatest automotive technology. With that in mind, Gran Turismo decided to make a good thing even better by creating its own Ford GT to contemporary Le Mans specs. We call it the Ford GT LM Race Car.
The powertrain remains the same as that found in the production Ford GT, a supercharged 5.4-liter DOHC V8, mounted amidships behind the seats. But the 550 HP output from the stock version has been boosted to a whopping 592 HP in this race-car model. A 6-speed manual race-spec gearbox has also been added.
The LM Race Car has the identical proportions as that of the stock Ford GT, measuring 15.1 ft. from bumper to bumper and 6.3 ft. wide. The chassis is an aluminum space frame design incorporating all of the latest automotive technologies, and the body is composed entirely of carbon-fiber. A large rear wing for increased downforce has also been added. The suspension system consists of a double-wishbone configuration fore and aft. Total curb weight: just 1150 kg.

When Out Run arrived in arcades in 1986 it instantly transported you from standing in a sticky puddle of spilt Fanta at your local Megabowl to embarking upon the greatest road trip gaming had ever seen. You'd pick your favourite tune by twiddling the dial on the FM radio and, with a chirp of the tyres, pull up to the start of a Cannonball Run-esque dash across the continent. This is a game that understood the romantic pull of the open road and, better yet, was able to emulate it on technology that nowadays you wouldn't trust to run a mixed load cycle on your washing machine.
It was the sheer speed of the thing that was most intoxicating, though. The breakneck pace at which you scythed past traffic was unprecedented at the time and was paired with the tactile rush of jamming the shifter into high gear and clinging onto the cabinet's chunky wheel for dear life as the kph figure climbed.
Boasting scenery that evolved as you completed each stage and a choice of routes to five different finish lines, Out Run also had surprising depth for a game designed solely to swallow as much of your pocket money as possible. And with whiplash-inducing sequences of high speed corners on the more challenging routes, anyone determined to complete it could expect to shell out a small fortune in shiny pound coins for the privilege. Although as far as we’re concerned, for a spot on the high scores board and a steamy 15 minutes with the best arcade racer of the ‘80s, that’s fine value.
