damangos Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Hello everyone! I would like to show you my newest creation for the Bricklink Designer Program: Cherryliner Express Train! It contains 2,794 total parts, 17 stickers and is compatible with powered up motor and lights! I would love your support! https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-7/2552/Cherryliner-Express-Train Thank you Quote
Toxic43 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 I voted for this already! Yours was, for me, one of the clear stand out entries in this series. We all want Lego to reproduce the Santa Fe, but that's not going to happen. Working with the parts available, you have produced this masterpiece! Very impressive. I sincerely hope this makes the cut as I will for certain, even though I can't afford it, purchase a copy. Quote
Murdoch17 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Agreed with @Toxic43's assessment of the model. I also voted for it and I sincerely hope it makes it this time! (Though I can't afford BDP sets, so even if it does make it I sadly won't be buying.) Quote
JopieK Posted February 19 Posted February 19 I already saw it and of course "Like"-ed it x10. Hope putting it on the FP also helps :) Quote
Murdoch17 Posted February 19 Posted February 19 (edited) I just realized the coloration of the loco reminds me a lot of the Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific* diesel paint scheme, specifically this one. Was this railroad or it's paint schemes an influence on you @damangos? * AKA 'the Rock Island Line' or, as it was known at the end, 'The Rock' (and no, I don't mean Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson! ) Edited February 19 by Murdoch17 Quote

However, other commenters have noticed that the colour scheme is similar to the MKT heritage unit. So I don’t really know what was going through my mind. Quote
zephyr1934 Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Great build and I hope this makes it (I'd buy two). The 1x2x3 windows work well, too bad this part isn't available in light blay 6 hours ago, Murdoch17 said: I just realized the coloration of the loco reminds me a lot of the Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific* diesel paint scheme, specifically this one. Actually, with the short frame of the locomotive it looks more like the earlier EMD TA to me (woops, EMC, but who's counting the rivets?). Interestingly, Rock Island even had a dome obsv. for a little while in 1970 (see here... though unfortunately the pictures are not working... I hope the domemain isn't down for the count) Quote
Jefry Been Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Oh yes! One of the best MOCs this wave (after mine, of course ) Good luck! I'll definitely take one if it wins. Quote

RenLUG - Central Florida Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Crossing fingers that this one makes it through. Definitely a day 1 purchase for me. Quote
