detjensrobert Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 :thumbup: ! Love the DkRed / Red brickwork!! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 AWESOME realistic 19th century train shed 'Raymdbrown'......I really like the window and brickwork - that's what sells it. Brick On 'Raymdbrown' ! Quote
Pizzareno Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Ah fantastic. I also like the details. The shell tanker at the side of the shed looks really great! Great stuff. Quote
Ex cinno Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I love your shed, its details and color scheme: all is very very realistic. Quote
SteveB Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Nice job. I like the wrap around decking, is that prototypical or something you designed? Funny, I was wondering why I never saw your MOC on Flickr in the past, after see this post I realized ...cause its new! :-) I just built a modern engine shed, but it needs some detailing. I was wondering if you found any good source materials on engine sheds? SteveB Quote
Man with a hat Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Very nice work. The exterior is looking absolutely great. Nice detailing there. The brickwork, the roof, the doors, the platform, the oil drum. Amazing Quote
Steph 104th Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I love that shed! I looks like it was torn straight out of a model railway layout, the little tank engine up front is lovely too. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Love this detailed MOC! :wub: I like also the locomotive (diesel shunter) inside the shed with piston rod on standard lego wheels ...nice modification! Quote
Raymdbrown Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks for you great comments it's loosely based on a uk engine shed with memories of the hornby train shed that could be used with plastic platforms Quote
Srbandrews Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I can't stop looking at it. I want it to be mine. Quote
ecmo47 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 What a great idea to use 1x2 plates to simulate real bricks! Has that technique been used before? Seems so obvious! Quote
coaster Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 This is pretty outstanding. I'm trying to work out a nice roundhouse, and I may steal a good chunk of this. Quote
notaromantic Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) :thumbup: ! Love the DkRed / Red brickwork!! I think there's a tad bit of Reddish Brown in there, if I'm not mistaken.. lol. This is great. Welder working on a Sunday or a holiday... It needs its own, proper base, I think; but everything else about it works very well together. The sideway logs used to make the coal cart are wonderful - and I generally abhor 'outside' stickering in MOC's, but you've made it look really good here. Achieving that 'rust' color that you must've imagined in your head must feel good, and pairing it with that dark green - very nice. I, too, like to play around with the silver colors for accent. This is first for me, seeing the dark green hose, which I didn't know existed (But I do know that green hose is very hard to come by...) Thank you for sharing this. It drew me into the Train Tech forums. Seems that modulars hugely overshadow both Trains and Historic builds in terms of interest, and that a lot of 'Townies' rarely venture out of Town, but I've run across some of THE best builders in both Train dioramas and in Medieval scenes - both of which also always emphasize landscaping and overall feel of presentation. This certainly, likewise, has both. You should place some of those pics directly into the thread here, so as more people will actually see this without having to worry about following a blind Flickr link - I know some are too hesitant, or lazy, to do so.

zephyr1934 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Oh wow! That's a great build. The detailing is over the top. With all of those plates I bet it is heavier that all get out. I have seen the plates a bricks a few times before, but that never detracts from the beauty of that technique. Quote
