About Pere Marquette 1225 by Devin Seidorf
Pere Marquette 1225 is an American Berkshire locomotive with a 2-8-4 wheel configuration built by Lima Locomotive Works in 1941 and operated until 1951. The PM1225 is only 1 of 2 Berkshire locomotives left and is most known as the basis for the Polar Express.
My Model is 10 studs wide, 110 studs long (with tender), and 15 bricks tall. All Parts are genuine lego Parts except for XXL wheels which are from Big Ben Bricks. This Model is Powered by 2 Power functions Large motors and battery box that also supplies power to the front headlight and firebox (Power functions components housed in coal tender). Working model on standard lego track gauge but works best with R104 track. I’ve been building this model on and off for the past year and is my first attempt at making an accurate scale model In lego. I’ve tried to include as much detail as I possible can and rebuilt it multiple times through out designing it to get proportions and scale as close as possible.
