Hoexbroe Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Hi all, Here´s a quick build for an exposition close to Bilbao. (Town called Mungia). I´ll be exposing my "MegaMOC 2014" racing diorama, but also voluntered for a station and a train for the "Lego City"-group. It´s a 6-wide pure fantasy train, using the characteristic colours of the local Euskotren railways. (Actually, I dont know if this town still sees rail-service, but at least during that weekend, the train will arrive at the Munguia Station! lol) Also, the 6-wide model is quite adecuate, as the Euskotren company operates on narrow gauge track! It was a quick build, most time being spend optimizing the use of my very limited stock of dark blue pieces. Motorization is standard PF; -And at the end, a picture of the -also fictional- Mungia station building; Ciao! Edited March 29, 2015 by Hoexbroe Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 This train looks amazing but the station is something special ...I really love it! :wub: Quote
eurotrash Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 The train has good clean lines - looks good! The Station is lovely. Good luck at the exhibition. Quote
leg01982 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 That station is amazing, loving the tran too Quote
zephyr1934 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Wow, that train was a quick build? Very impressive. The station looks great with lots of detailing (those benches are brilliant). Thanks for sharing. Quote
Commander Wolf Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Also, the 6-wide model is quite adecuate, as the Euskotren company operates on narrow gauge track! I'm just nitpicking, but I don't necessarily agree with this. While a lot of very narrow gauge systems do have significantly smaller loading gauges, many less narrow gauge systems (meter or cape) have loading gauges not much smaller than what you'd find in the UK. Modelling a narrow gauge system to me would suggest making narrower bogies rather than narrower carriages. Anyway, nice work on the train and the station, though I like the station more. Quote

Modelling a narrow gauge system to me would suggest making narrower bogies rather than narrower carriages. In this case, the carriages of Euskotren are VERY narrow. You should google it first... If you wanted to be nitpicking, you should mention the track; I am using standard gauge Lego track, which isnt supposed to be narrow at all... ;-) Quote
cgarison Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I love the SNOT techniques that you used on the ends of the train. Great MOC! Quote
Hoexbroe Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 Thanks for the comments, guys! -I will present the station building shortly in the "Town" forum here. (Need to generate 800pixel photos first...) Quote
Man with a hat Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Very nice train. The colours are refreshing. And nice detailing on the pantographs. I can't wait to see more of that station. I will check the Town forum. Quote
detjensrobert Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 These look good! Especially with the Light and Dark Blue. The station would probably be accepted in this Forum too, since it is train-related. Quote
Hoexbroe Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 The station has now been presented in the Town-forum; http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107770 Quote
Legotron (Panzerbricks) Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 It is a great model. I use this trains and they are very close to the real ones. Quote
