About Derail Valley “DH4” (Demonstrator Livery) by TrainMannsTrains
Hello!
This is my recreation of the venerable and sturdy DH4 diesel from the game "Derail Valley". It's by far my favorite locomotive to drive, and is one of the more reliable locomotives in the game. I chose the demonstrator livery because I'm inseparable with the in-game counterpart.
I have all the bricks for this model on order, but some will not arrive until after the end of the month.
The DH4 features a "Powered Up" system onboard, with two motors (for extra power!!) and a battery box, the latter of which has been cleverly lowered into the frame to provide a lower center of gravity. The frames are made of tiles and plates, so I can't say how stable it will be eventually, but it gets the look across well.
Thanks for checking this out!
