16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive

[jamesed_1971]

Hi, in June 2014 I designed a 16mm Scale Lego Steam Locomotive which was based on the Roundhouse Engineering Lady Anne Live Steam Locomotive, the 16mm Scale Lady Anne Locomotive was designed to the same scale of the Roundhouse Engineering Lady Anne and was designed to run on 32mm Track (Peco SM32 Track), since I did the original post the model has been improved with more details being added.

The 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne is powered by Lego Power Function XL Motor and the same gearing found in the Lego Emerald Night with both the receiver and battery box under the saddle tanks.

The two photos below were taken last year before the Lego Model was improved (the date on the camera had been set wrong).

The photos below were taken in early June after the 16mm Scale Lego 4 Wheel Coach was built.

Below is the Roundhouse Engineering Lady Anne Live Steam Locomotive which my 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive was based on.

Below is a couple of photos showing my 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive pulling the 16mm Scale Lego 4 Wheel Coach along the Peco SM32 track.

The Black buffers are made by Brandbright, A online shop which cater for the 16mm scale.

I am planning to improve the look of the exterior of the model so it looks more like the Roundhouse Engineering Live Steam Lady Anne, this will be done next year and replace the single Lego Power Functions XL Motor with two L Motors which will be place in the boiler of the locomotive.

I move the spectacle windows, so they are over the front coal bunkers, moved the dome and added the safety value and put the steam whistle on the roof of the cab, I still need to redesign the cab interior,

Okay, on the one hand that is really insane, 16 studs wide... on the other hand, that is really cool, 16 studs wide. John Neil, a ghost from the AFOL train past would be proud as he was striving for a 16 stud standard for years. Some say he might have perished in that pursuit but I'd like to think that I'm making that last bit up (and indeed I am, but anyway, back on topic...). The sheer number of bricks to build in this scale is huge, so good thing you've chosen a small prototype. You have done a great job capturing the form and essence of the prototype. Is it a good runner? Not sure if you are looking for feedback, but the one really odd bit to my eyes are the gray gears you used outside of the frame. Did you consider this part instead...?

Combined with the car it really looks great. Will you be running this train outside?

Hopefully next year once I got my own place and a spare room for my Lego / Model Railway Room, I am planning to build a 16mm Scale Model Railway which will run both Roundhouse 16mm Scale Live Steam Locomotives and the 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Steam Locomotive, As for outside running, I hope to attend some 16mm garden railways as a member of the Association of 16mm Narrow Gauge Modellers,

I am also considering converting the XL Motor to fully Radio Control with the Mac·five LA from http://www.brianjonesmodels.co.uk/ and other parts he sells

the Mac·five LA has a small and low size profile 39 x 38 x 12.7(mm) and has Autodrive and is designed for single motored locos in 0, 1, 16mm, & G scale, the operating voltage of the Mac·five LA is 6v to 18v DC

According to the dates on the pictures, this is most literally the future of Lego train tech.

The date on the first two images is a result of my digital camera malfunctioning last year, it was repaired February this year

I might have modify the 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive to be powered by two Lego Power Functions XL Motors, as hopefully I will built 3 more 16mm Scale Lego 4 Wheel Coach, increasing the number of 16mm Scale Lego 4 Wheel Coach to 4.

I have decided to rebuild and improve the 16mm scale Lego Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive next year spring.

Improvements I am planning are replace the single XL motor in the cab and replace with two L Motors which will be housed in the boiler, one L motor will power the front wheels and the second L motor will power the rear wheels, the v1 Power Functions IR Receiver will replaced by a v2 Power Functions IR Receiver.

I will add a cab interior with a glowing firebox (lit by a Lego Power Functions Light, improving the exterior of the model by adding more details, improve the coupling rods for the locomotive, adding brass spectacle frame to the spectacle windows and add work plate and name plates to the model.

Looks great! A nice scale for a lot of detail.
