Southern Railway Maunsell Push-Pull set

I started with a Southern Railway Maunsell Push-Pull set. Two coaches and a M7 locomotive. Here you see the first results. https://plaatjesvoorforum.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/maunsell-03-1.png

Here, let me embed the image in the thread for you (often if you paste the full link for an image in the EB editor the image will automatically appear, but if it doesn't appear right away you need to use the "insert other media" pull down menu)

 

 

That looks good, is it 7 wide? The curving bottom of the sides is a nice touch. Are you planning on building it in real bricks? If so I think you might need to either use clone bricks for the train windows or go with a different window. Will you be running this on wide radius curves or the standard R40?

Thx Zephyr1934, unfortunately I made a mistake. The guard site is smaller instead of broader. The chassis is 6 studs, the front at the driver-side will be 7 studs, the other side with the round parts are up to 8 studs. The drawing is made in Bricklink studio, and I use their parts numbers. I wil gather the cheapest bricks I can get.

For the track I have the idea to print them from ABS. Not in the standard Lego form, but only in the standard gauge. I will start with R72 or R88.

As said I corrected the driver side of the car. And to show the way I used the bricks, I do the same as the pre-grouping railway companies in the UK. A Photo livery in Black and gray tones. The chassis is 6 studs wide. The body at the drivers side is 7 studs, and the part with the bowed side is 8 studs wide at the roof. For the lamps I will use small LEDs. For now the design has almost 800 parts.
