The appearance of the latest serial TEM2s reflects the evolution started in separate modifications - the TEM2U (ТЭМ2У, TEM2U) produced since 1978. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/49124144911/in/album-721577...
TEM2 (ТЭМ2) shunting locomotives were built routinely at 1960-90 yy primarily by the Bryansk Machine-Building Plant (JSC BMZ located in Bryansk, Russia; Брянский машиностроительный завод). With 6225 total production of base modification, 1000 were built in Soviet Ukraine by the Voroshilovgrad Locomotive works, (Ворошиловградский тепловозостроительный завод, ВЗОР, now the Luhansk Locomotive works), the leading Soviet Plant for steam engine and diesel locomotive production located in now rebel Luhansk Region.
The long story of TEM2 locomotives started when a small number of the ALCO RSD-1 switchers were obtained by USSR as the Lend-Lease shipments during WW2. They were designated as Da20 (Да20) type of locomotives of Soviet Railways. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/50992848521/in/album-721577...
The ALCO RSD-1 was hastily developed version of the ALCO RS-1 switcher with 2-axle bogie replaced by 3-axle for the poor Iranian railtracks that were used for shipment of Soviet Russia during war with Nazi Germany and Allies. By Jerry Pinkepank opinion this engine saved Soviet Russia during WW2 as it provided shipment of a bigger half of the lend-lease supplies (4 160 000 gross long tons) across Iran to USSR.
TE1 (ТЭ1), the first Soviet diesel locomotive built in big series at 1947-50 (298 ones) was in fact the non-lycensed copy of the american ALCO RSD-1 locomotive but in metric scale. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/47941920187/in/album-721577... TE1 were not excellent as the mainline locomotives, so its next variation, TEM1, were intended to use as shunting locomotives. They were developed on the base of TE1 locomotive and still had many elements of original ALCO RSD-1 design, but with modifications - bogies were significantly improved (especially the technology of its fabrication), also the D50 diesel (metric variant of the ALCO 539T used in TE1 and TE2) was modified to 2D50 (2Д50) version. www.flickr.com/photos/cetus13/48045101808/in/album-721577... TEM2 was developed as upgrade of the TEM1 with some modifications made including improved 1200 hp diesel PD1M (ПД1М) - further development of the 1000 hp. 2D50, bogies had additional coiled springs included in etc.
This was more of an exercise rather than an updated version because I still prefer the old one. It's not obvious, but there are some significant changes for this version, among them:
-larger head (perhaps to large?)
-longer tail
-longer arms (yes!)
-obviously a spiky sail achieved by adding two more pleats
-and the biggest difference is this one uses a 10 x 10 grid rather than a 9 x 9 one!

Picture of my girlfriend Valérie. Probably one of my favorite out there. Making of video coming soon!
These are my three latest mods before the modding began. Total break-down.
The RPK was the hardest one, seeing as I drilled a few pieces (stock, handle), although it was a great adventure. :P
Oh, and that M4-type mod's red dot is not backwards. I took it straight off of a vector, hince it's whatever side it was before. Don't hate.
Thanks for viewing and all of the positive feedback! My last currently done mod will be up shortly.
Almost one month of work and around 5400 bricks later the iconic spaceship of Mando stands on my building table and I have to admit... this thing is huge and very impressive.
Basically it is modification of richboyjhaes's version because I really like his design. It was important for me to change some things to get an "own" version of that ship. I have changed the following things:
- cockpit design
- the colour of the stripes (tan instead of yellow)
- the front gun design
- the top of the ship is less study
At this point i want to thank @richboyjhae for his building instructions, great piece of an creation and the instructions are very well done.
After finishing the ship I have to create the planet surface of Tython. This will be a lot of fun building an authentic vegetation with battle scenes between the bounty hunter Boba Fett, Fennec, Mando and a lot of stormtroopers.
I'm really looking forward for the New Mando figs which are included im the new summer wave of official LEGO Star Wars sets.
Hopefully you like my razor crest version, please let me know in the comments below. Stay tuned for the next updates and building steps.
Greetings Kevin
Here is a SHOWCASE video of the spaceship on my YouTube channel:
More photos for Ravelry. I will be updating the pattern and adding these modifications within the next few days. Everyone who has already purchased the pattern will receive the updates.
I'm satisfied with the Portal Gun--it's finished.
I'm fairly happy with Chell, but I need to touch up the paint in a few places, and I definitely need to give her a protective matte coating when I'm done.
Made somewhat more subtle by a leatherette kit (#8308) from Aki-Asahi and a leather strap from Gordy's Camera Straps.
A modification of an M24A3 that uses a modified caseless, hyper velocity .338 Lapau Magnum that achieves speeds similar to a .17 HM2. Modifications include:
Longer fluted barrel with flash hider.
Custom cheek rest stock with risers and recoil pad. Detachable magazine. Rails running along the sides of the rifle.
Long range scope with ability to switch to IRNV if needed.
New handguard with integral bipod.
I've been on a bit of a creativity high tonight :3 (isn't it amazing what vodka can do for the mind? xD) Hope you like it :)
A photo of my birthday gift to myself.
I tore everything off, going for lean and mean, and modified the front standard for SWING
Well he is kinda finished. I see a lot of things I could've done better. But I will alter him when I have time again.
I will sand his eyes a tad better for example. They are a tad bit grainy now. So it needs to be smoother.
But in the end I am happy with the result. He is the little snarling guy I wanted him to be, haha.
Fun project ^^

Combat modification of a police mechatank (www.flickr.com/photos/154614142@N02/38834850924/in/album-...). It is mainly exported, as it is too obsolete for the Federation army.
Third mod; fewf!
Finally got his guy posted (long day of work), and glad to announce my third, and second-to-last mod.. so far. ;) This is another simpler mod, but still I think its' one of my favorites, nonetheless.
Let me know what you think! Once again I added inspiration, and I am very thankful of constructive criticism and thought-through feedback! Love to hear from everyone who's modded in the past!
Thanks, and let me know what you think!
Extended Presidential Parlour car ('Lilly Belle').
I've modded the carriages from the Lego Disney Train set, by using the 6 x 28 train base to extend them by 4 studs. Similar to my mods of the steam loco, this is intended as a simple mod rather than a full MOC. The bogies have also been lengthened by a stud.

Extreme Modification contest entry. This one was my favorite but it didn't win first place. I'd love to know who made this if anyone out there knows. The entries weren't identified.
Last night I had some airbrushing to do for another doll, so I thought it would be quite easy to work on Marcus as well.
His face is still shiny. The paint isn't wet anymore, but it has a gloss of its own.
He needs a face-up next.
And I am going to work on his teeth and see if I can smoothen them some more.
