[MOC] 6w Interurban Electric

[pirzyk]

NILTC had its Christmas Show at Cantigny this past weekend (more pics will be posted later).  One of the models I created for the show (and as a Christmas Present) was a local Interurban Electric. The Chicago, Lombard and Wheaton (CL&W) line follows in the tradition of Murdoch17's BRS in that it is a fictitious line (though all the cities do exist).   The train is modeled after a 1 1/2in scale model that pulls a circus train out at the Illinois Live Steamers (ILS) Club.  It is fully PF'ed and lit using stock LEGO PF lights.  It ran w/o a hitch on Saturday in it's maiden voyage.  Its future travels are around a Christmas tree for the rest of the season.

Fully PFed setup with stock LEGO lighting as well.

Great Christmas present. Orange and white works really well.

Nice train. Very unusual but I like it.

Thanks all.  I agree the stickers make the model
