ejayb Posted December 22, 2020 Attached are renders of my (simple) MOCs of 'Vlasta', a Czechoslovakian ČKD T 211.0, and 'Janko', a cargo/service wagon from 1912. They are based on stock that runs locally on a meter-gauge, historic railway: https://www.detskazeleznica.sk/-vozovy-park Photos of Vlasta and Janko can be found under 'Motorové rušne' and 'Vozne' at the link above. 'Janko', will powered with a PuP controller and motor (which was unavailable in Stud.io, but the upper is built to clip straight on) Constructive criticism and suggestions welcome.

ejayb Posted December 23, 2020 Although the shade of blue does not quite match 'Danka', I think the shape of the windows in this revision are much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amoreternum Posted December 23, 2020 I'd try using hinge bricks on the blue one, creating a ever so slight slope that closes into a 5 wide roof, I think that would get closer to the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amoreternum, are you talking about these hinge bricks? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3937c02#T=C I'm having trouble imaging exactly what you mean, although I'm sure a 5 wide roof would look better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amoreternum Posted December 23, 2020 Yeah, exactly - sorry, I should've linked the part. I'd try using these with the windows of the older render, placing a 1 x 4 tile on them and then a 5 wide roof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ejayb Posted December 23, 2020 A 6 wide roof was easy, but I haven't yet been able to workout a 5 wide one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amoreternum Posted December 23, 2020 Should not be too difficult - try using Slope, Curved, 2 x 2 for the shape, connecting them with 1 x 3 and 2 x 3 plates, then fill in the gap in between the slopes with a 1 x 6 tile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ejayb Posted December 23, 2020 I made a 5 wide roof but the jumped plates needed to attach it raise it higher than I like. I've also extended it by 2 studs to better suit the proportions and filled in the undercarriage a little. I'm most unhappy about the way I've attached the upper lights.

ejayb Posted December 25, 2020 I'm still working on this, learning new techniques and finding new parts I've also started work on a passenger car, 'Kubko': Although in reality, it's not wider than 'Danka', I designed it basically 7 wide to get two rows of seats in.
