Why? Because it is such a great new model
, including so much creative building techniques!Set 10233 Horizon Express (in the Creator Expert range) is not yet released (due January 2013). But both the official promo phtographs as well as the information provided in the splendid
review by Mostlytechnic (look it up here) contain enough clues about the construction of this 'TGV-lookalike'. So here it is in LDD:
Horizon Express LXF
Note:
- Build from pictures - so I am not in a postion to claim any correctness. According to the set contents on the box, I used 98% of the bricks (only 23 out of 1351 I was not able to place). Uncertainty is mainly due to unknown insides of roofs, undercarriages etcetera.
- All seperable units (bogeys, roofs, cars) are grouped separately in the LXF. Makes it easier to look at the detailed interiors!
Known errors:
- Black Roof Front 4x6x1 not in LDD (not even on Bricklink yet!), so replaced by a custom made front consisting of Slope 45 Roof Tile bricks.
- Black cheese slopes 50746 left aside the front part as they do not fit into the black and white arrows (so-called 'Pet Shop problem').
- Missing decoration (black frame) on Cockpit Window 62360.
- Minifig body decorations: only dark green sweater and medium blue blouse are correct, other four are best fitting replacements.
- Minifig head decorations: all correct except granddad (best fitting replacement)
- Not sure whether the glass (4036) used for Black Train Windows (4035) is used in the actual set (the picture on the box shows 'flat' glass, not the 'pre-formed' 4036).
