Prussian G8.1 Güterzuglokomotiv - a photo on Flickriver

            Prussian G8.1 Güterzuglokomotiv with Pr 3T 16,5 tender belonging to the Königlich Preußische Eisenbahn-Verwaltung (KPEV). Built between 1913-1921 by amongst others Linke-Hoffman, Vulcan, Hanomag, Henschel and F. Schichau.

My previous loc, the G4.3 had excellent driving abilities but was rapidly over taken by the demand for heavier and longer freight trains. The G8 was one of the successful answers to this problem with 1,054 examples built.

This loc, the G8.1 is a heavier and stronger development of the G8 and was even more successful. With 5,155 examples build it was the second most built German loc only to be exceeded later on by the BR 52 with over 7000 examples.

My version is powered by a normal LEGO Power Functions train motor under the tender and a PF Large motor in the boiler. It is controlled by an S-Brick with a LEGO rechargeable battery box in the tender. Running on r104 curves it goes on for almost three hours. The loc has 3 LEGO PF front lights, a cabin light and two rear end lights.
My first version lacked the boiler motor which left room for a full interior in the cab. Unfortunately the interior had to go in order to fit in the extra PF Large motor and cables.

The loc has just taken in new coals and is now parked above the ash pit (Schlackensumpf). The tender is being filled with water and the firebox is being cleaned. Almost ready to go.
