Lego British Rail Class 08 Shunter

A Lego diesel-electric shunting engine, based on the BR 08 class.

Although I'm not a huge fan of non-steam locomotives, this brick-on-wheels is an exception. I love 'em. I'm happy with how this one turned out, especially since it presented several challenges - the detailing on its side being one of them - and an area in which I sadly failed is its hazard stripes. I like to try and limit myself to official Lego bricks and stickers but I might have to admit defeat and print out a custom sheet. Its rear end looks oddly bare when it ought to be covered in hazards.

This as-yet-unnamed engine is number 4 on my -as-yet-unbuilt Lego railway layout. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 can be seen here:
