xboxtravis7992 Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Reminds me of Barstow 'Station' a large travel stop in Barstow California with a McDonald in several train cars. Right next to the right of way of the UP and BNSF to. Quote
Rijkvv Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I prefer my trains running, but it's a nice bit of scenery. I love the kitchen. Quote
Barduck Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 I designed it so that the coach isn'nt actually attached to the surface so adding trucks to it won't be a problem Quote
Barduck Posted June 29, 2016 Author Posted June 29, 2016 I'm just not sure what to do with the open space on the left side (looking at it). Was thinking maybe a gravel like parking space. And there needs to be a sign too but where to put it Quote
Rail Co Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 Very nice Idea I never thought of having a reclaimed coach in lego. Also to that left side you could put maybe some scenery or a little kiosk to inform the minifigures on the history of the coach. Great Idea! -RailCo Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I prefer my trains running. I agree, but this is a nice original idea! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Looks good! I would eat there. Yeah, but it is really hard to get in for anyone over 1" tall (yuck yuck yuck). Seriously though, great looking car and great idea. I'm just not sure what to do with the open space on the left side (looking at it). Was thinking maybe a gravel like parking space. And there needs to be a sign too but where to put it Perhaps you've just answered your own question, why not put the sign on the left side? Quote
Barduck Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 reclaimed UP coach by Barduck12, on Flickr What to put on sticker to go on the sign? Was thinking of "Food Train" Quote
Redimus Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 How about "Meals on Wheels" or "The Rolling Stock Cube"? Quote
Barduck Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 How about "Meals on Wheels" Even better consider it stolen Quote

dr_spock Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Nice eatery. Having two sets of stairs at the front may confuse the customers and some may try to enter through the kitchen entrance. Quote
Barduck Posted July 5, 2016 Author Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Nice eatery. Having two sets of stairs at the front may confuse the customers and some may try to enter through the kitchen entrance. speaking of the kitchen entrance; I've just realized now that the fridge is in the way to actually enter there so going to remove that stairway Edited July 5, 2016 by Barduck Quote
