[MOC] Star Wars First Order Battle Tram

[davesbrickroom]

First time poster here with a custom build I did based on tramcars that I've seen in the past. I've always liked the look of these and I wanted to design one that looked a bit more bold. I came up with this design in LDD and built it to keep rowdy citizens in my Lego city in line! It runs on standard Lego train track and I made it flexible enough to handle tight turns and bumps in the track. Each passenger car can hold 4 minifigures (a driver and 3 troopers).

Welcome aboard. Nice job on the First Order color scheme. With the power car in the middle, it has that Stadler GTW railcar feel to it.

Perfect design and amazing idea!

I love it!

Let's hope you ain't got some Jedis on the leash, roaming your Lego City streets. Otherwise those handful of Troopers will get into some trouble

Nice work indeed, I like that colour scheme!

Really cool color scheme. I got also some of this red glasses. I love them. :)

Sweet design. Very useful for getting around on the super weapon until it gets blown up.

Thanks everyone! It was really fun making this. I'll try to post a video of it zooming around on some track.

LOL .. yeah, I came close to putting in some doors on the passenger cars, but I wanted to keep the lines simple and straight. I think the cars are a bit more sturdy that way too. To justify not having any doors, I convinced myself that the red windows are actually red force fields that can be turned on/off, allowing for quick deployment! ;)
