Asper Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Years ago I found an image of a LEGO coach using Duplo part 2032. Unfortunately I do not find this anymore... So I cannot link to the original author. I liked the idea very much and started collecting these parts. In the meantime I have a small collection and was able to build a complete train using these parts: For the bogies I used brass tubes to hold the axles. (Instructions in the flickr album.) I also found parts 4548 and 4549 in my kids LEGO collection and added some smaller cars: More images can be found in the album on flickr. Hope you like it! Edited April 6, 2018 by Asper Quote
supertruper1988 Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 These look great! Thanks for sharing the bogie design as well! Quote
ColletArrow Posted April 7, 2018 Posted April 7, 2018 I love them! The texture and patterning on those parts is perfect. The only slight issue is the narrowing underneath, but you've married that to the chassis excellently. The underframe detail matches the elegant simplicity of the wagons well too. I prefer the yellow ones myself; they remind me of Network Rail's MRA side-tipping ballast wagons (Google Images link). Quote
Bricksmith Posted April 9, 2018 Posted April 9, 2018 I love how simple yet effective these are. Great work! Quote

Capparezza Posted April 11, 2018 Posted April 11, 2018 Never seen a better use of Duplo parts when it comes to trains. Nice idea Quote
baard Posted April 13, 2018 Posted April 13, 2018 Love these builds, nice use of Dublo parts, want to copy bogies if I may.. Quote

Yes, feel free to use and evolve this design ( and use the instructions in the flickr album) . I'm only "standing on the shoulders of giants" - I have learned so much from the community. 16 hours ago, jkj1909 said: which part is the small bar or hose in the bogie ? It's a "hose, rigid 3mm" cut to 2L (16mm) Quote
rahziel Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Great work with the wagons, that part (2032) is brilliantly used. Quote
