About 65 018 by The BrickTrainBuilder
In three months time I managed to build the beautiful and loved 65 018. This was my biggest project yet and I enjoyed every single minute of building and designing it. 65018 is able to run through curves, includes working valve gear and is motorized with Powered Up Batterybox 88009 and Motor 88013. For more information about my project 65 018 you can check my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThVphWHcR58&t=57s
I build the 65 018 because I love the compactness and the design of the locomotive. I've seen it multiple times in the Netherlands, were she is still operative for the VSM.
