dr_spock Posted January 2, 2017 Presenting my Coffee Pot Steam Motor Coach NJAB 1. It is a unique Australian steam engine and passenger coach combined into one. The 2-2-0 steam engine was made in Leeds, England and the coach was built in Birmingham. There were only 2 built. Unit #1 entered service in 1906. For my LEGO version, I selected the dark green one that was displayed in Alice Springs during the 1960s to '80s. It just so happens I have some dark green 1x1 PAB bricks sitting around for ages. Coffee Pot Steam Motor Coach by dr_spock_888, on Flickr I believe this is my first steam MOC. My building technique was look at the picture and mashed it into a LEGO standard 6 wide style with parts on hand. It has Power Functions train motor, AAA battery box and IR receiver. The receiver is easily accessible behind the cab to change channels which is useful for running at our LUG events. With all the coffee the passengers and crew are drinking on my Coffee Pot, my rail outhouse should be included in the train consist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ex cinno Posted January 2, 2017 Never seen a steam like that but your moc is very good and I like it. By the way, dark green is one of my favorite colours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite a few railways in the UK tried this. Some looked like the above, a tank engine bolted to a coach while others looked like a coach with a chimney.

Method 1: Jump off the passenger compartment, run after and jump on the outhouse car. Method 2: Climb up onto roof of passenger car and jump onto outhouse car.
