PrinceWilliam Posted August 15, 2009 Hi everybody, This time, want to share with you a Hong Kong old version train. Actually, it's not a train but a light railway, taking residence back and forth in the country side in almost ten years ago. The train was replaced another new version train but I regard, the appearance of the old version one is better than the new one. So that, I had created this MOC. Enjoy ~~ The real train reference in Hong Kong reference source :http://www.hkitalk.net/HKiTalk2/viewthread.php?tid=190937 Let's see my creation. The whole train , with totally 6 pair doors. The real one only contains 3 pairs on the left hand side of the train. The right hand side wrapped with the windows. The windows changed from grey (the above photo) to the white train window because the grey windows are hard to find in Hong Kong ! Another view " The front is making with 4-width bricks while the body is making with 6-width bricks and 4-width bricks again at the end Front view with the train driver, can you see? 4-width front converts to 6-width body The electric power system Air cooling and ventilation systems on the top of the train http://www.minifigs.net/forum/attachments/...l.jpg.thumb.jpg This one, I will call it as a train-span (like wing span in aeroplanes), all doors can be opened and the drive sits in the front of the train. Passengers (minifigs) can get inside and take seats at all!! Thanks for watching !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aawsum Posted August 15, 2009 Nice MOC. I really like how you managed to open the doors in this one. ps. did you know we have a special Train tech forum ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fumoffu Posted August 15, 2009 Nice MOC. The opening doors are cool. I was in HK back in 1998 and stayed at a friend's place near Shatin. Is this the train that I would have caught to get down to Kowloon? I need to dig up some of my old photos to have a look. Good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusaeng Posted August 16, 2009 Good work! this is a very nice train. I also like the technique that you have the doors opening. I wonder if this could be used to give the bus from 7641 a more realistic set of opening doors. Keep up the good work! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
