Pennsylvania B6 Switcher

Description

EDIT: The file is now the Lego model you can use, edit, and examine with Lego Digital Designer.

This is a Pennsylvania B6 Switcher, a large switch engine used to move freight cars around in the yards when a more powerful engine was needed. Switch engines are also used to collect coaches and dock them at stations for larger trains to carry them.

Alright, in truth I don't know much about the B6. But its another one of my favorite engines along side the AD60 Garratt. The B6 is well known for its sloped tender and 0-6-0 wheel set up. Unlike the AD60 model, this model was built from scratch, and based on various images I found on the internet.

The tender is actually bigger than it should because it has to accommodate the battery.(yeah, this engines gonna get motorized too) As a matter of fact, I had to get rid of a lot of spaces in order to make room for the motor, IR receiver, and battery.
