Danish EG Electric Locomotive.
DSB GODS, the cargo division of DSB (Danish State Railways) ordered 13
Class EG Locomotives from German company Siemens AG Verkehrstechnik / Krauss-Maffei in 1997. When the Great Belt Tunnel were opened, many trains had to be run with class EA locomotives, working in double or even triple. Hence the need for a new more powerful type of locomotive. They are dual system locomotives, capable of working with both the Danish 25kV 50Hz and the Swedish and German 15kV 16 2/3 Hz current. The locomotives are based on the German "Eurosprinter" design (known as DB class 127 001). The livery is simply stunning! DSB GODS is now part of Railion, operating as Railion Denmark, and sadly no longer carries "GODS" markings.

The Model.
This is my first attempt to design a version of the awesome EG. It was designed using MLCad. The "GODS" text is much to big, but I think it's more fun to build the text with bricks and plates, rather than using stickers. I would love to build two of these fantastic looking locomotives, with real bricks, but all those dark blue pieces, are just about impossible to get! Special thanks to James Mathis for inspiration.

Length over buffer: 41 Studs
Max height: 15 1/3 Studs
