It's difficult to catch a good LEGO MOC when it comes to the trains segment, and this is because almost all of them are way too damn good. But for us, there's always someone who exceeds expectations, surpassing similar approaches. This is the case of LEGO MOCer and creator André Pinto (who's also a professional architect).
This time around we are very pleased to introduce you this CP 1408 LEGO MOC in 1/15 scale. The model itself comprises around 14,000 pcs and the outcome is something that any MOCer and LEGO fanatic should see with his own eyes.
"This is a memory of my childhood.
Built between 1966 and 1968, these emblematic "Machines" made in England with 65 tons, provided services in practically all the lines of Portugal.
Although limited at 105 km / hour, traction either trains of suburban service, goods, medium and long-term and the prestigious Intercities service.

Of the 67 original locomotives that made up the totality of this series (the engine material of its generation), the first 10 were manufacturedin England. The others, as included in the initial contract, were made in SOREFAME, in Amadora - Portugal.
It was a great challenge to make this construction of 14 thousand pieces (7 thousand in the locomotive and 7 thousand in the base) at 1/15 scale.
One of the main ideas was to make the wheels only with lego parts, without using 3D impression or lego motorcycle wheels, the result is a wheel made with 19 pieces."
