The Adler was Germany’s first commercial used train. It starts is operation on 7th December 1835 on a 7.45 kilometres long track between Nuremberg and Fuerth with a top speed of 65 km/h. So it’s definitely a very important object of the German Railway and if you spend your time with trains and Lego® – like I do – this is a must have.

My MOC is based on some pictures on the replica of 2007, with some own interpretations.
My MOC of The Adler
The tender after the locomotive houses the 9-volt train motor. So The Adler can move as well on 9-volt tracks – but no steam. The big train wheels on the middle axle look more like in the original than the train wheels without the flange. That The Adler is able to pass the curves and turnouts it was so necessary to make the first axle moveable. The carriages have interior and Lego® passengers can sit inside and enjoy the ride. For an easy passenger exchange, the roofs are easily removable.

I provide a detailed step-by-step building instruction. At the end of it, you find an overview of all needed parts.
A print-ready sticker sheet is available too (in case the model contains stickers). I provide it in the widely used PDF-format in high-resolution and print-ready.
Furthermore, I provide the parts list in Excel format. This makes it easy to filter out needed parts and create order lists.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damages or injury on parts and humans happen while following my instructions. Everything you do is your responsibility and under your personal risk.
