I built this a few days ago, being my first train MOC that can actually run on LEGO rails. It's a New Zealand DX 5195 diesel-electric locomotive.

Here it is on a curve

It can get round, but because the bogies are a big long the train runs slightly stiff round turns

Great job Captain Havoc! For a first train MOC that runs on L gauge, I'm impressed to see that you have gone head first into 8-wide. It looks very nice. Your SNOT door is also a very impressive feature, and I like your bogies. You did however mention that your bogies are a little stiff, that is because they have 1 stud between each wheel set. Perhaps try building a bogie with the wheels next to each other, no stud space. That will allow your train to run much more smoothly. Is it powered in any way?

No, Its not powered. I don't have the new rechargeable power functions and I can't afford the batteries for the RC battery box. I'm hoping to get power functions when I get the Emerald Night. I'll try the bogie suggestion though.

Or space the wheels with half a stud. That will also run well on the tight Lego radius curve.
There was a few peices that were out of alignment or needed seating properly (ie. plates at rear).
This always happens when taking photo's.
Nice MOC the door was a good idea. Lots of detail in the Cab.

I really like the cab and the brick built numbers. There are a number of bogie designs on the flickr train group which allow the middle axle to float which will relieve the stiffness around corners.

Great looking loco. 8 wide lets you get more detail in the cab. Here is a link to some 6 wide trains (including a Da and a Dc) I built over 10 years ago Click here

I really like this. Great cab details as mentioned by everyone else, Nice use of stickers too. It looks solid, just like the real deal.
