Murdoch17 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Everyone remembers the 9V Train's sub-theme "My Own Train"... or if you don't and are wondering what I'm talking about look here on Bricklink for a list of all the sets in that theme: http://www.bricklink...ing=124.315.694 The passenger aspect of this sub-theme is covered by this set, #10015: Passenger Wagon. (seen in this stock Bricklink photo below) Also, I might suggest you look at -R8-'s 2011 Reviewer's Academy review of the set here on Eurobricks: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=59018 Everyone loves a classic, and the set deserves the affection if gets. However, it really lacks variety if you have a whole train of these running around. I asked myself these questions: Where does the baggage / mail go? Where are the end tail lights? Why am I talking to myself? Thus, I built my own version, which I plan on getting in real life soon (if not next): I went ahead and added inter-car walkways, giving it less a 1870's feel and more a 1910's look, plus two sliding doors for the combination baggage / passenger car. A small rear platform for the observation car was added, as were 1/2 stud recessed doors for platform access. These coaches are also build-able in tan, dark purple, reddish brown, white, black, and red. They are to be pulled by engine #4613 around my layout: (EDIT: 7/22/14: Updated the photo of the engine to a more recent screenshot... now I just need to take a real life photo!) What do you think? Comments, questions, and complaints welcome! Edited July 22, 2014 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rail Co Posted July 21, 2014 This looks Great! I love that it has a matching Loco! One thing to point out if you were going to build this is if you look at the piston rods the grey connectors that are there for looks will actually jam the rods actually connected to the wheels so you may need to slightly modify that. Other than that Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I've actually solved that problem by turning the piston assembly into the type used by the Emerald night.... I just forgot to post a picture! I'll soon rectify that. EDIT: Done! Edited July 22, 2014 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) The LDD file now available for the entire train. This includes the updated steam loco #4613. (The LDD file has been removed for work!) Edited August 12, 2014 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoch17 Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) I have worked out a way to make this train in dark green. It required a complete reworking of the bases of the coaches, and is 100% build-able in real life. The rear of the train features a spot for printed letter tiles to sit. These tiles will say BRS, of course. the LDD file for this model has been updated to reflect these changes. Here is the link for the engine & complete train: http://www.mocpages....1407852914m.lxf enjoy! Edited August 12, 2014 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
