Got inspired to work on a model of the German Federal Railways DB V140 diesel
hydrolic locomotive.

Primary pieces to make this model of the DB V140 come from:
1. 4551 9v train locomotive
   a.  the two cab faces
   b.  red-ribbed 2x2 bricks
2. 5571 Model Team big black and red truck
   a.  gray beveled bricks
   b.  red doors
   c.  clear 1x2x2 thin wall windows

I worked from a photo of a Marklin model of the DB V140.

If you care to see the result, please visit:
http://www.ee.nmt.edu/~jmathis/legopage.html
and click on either "What's NEW in My Small LEGO® World" or go through the
index of train related models starting at "Train Creations".

I'm always open to critiques and suggestions wrt to the models shown at my web
site.

All aboard LEGO Trains!

Thanks.
later,
James

A repost from RTL. I said this (and cross posted to rec.model.railroad) in response to Bruce asking for prototype sources as a result of seeing James' model: (...)
