-DoNe- Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) For a long time I've wanted to do something more fun and extravagant for my Emerald Night locomotive. I still wanted to keep the color scheme of the original passenger car. The choice appeared rather obvious with those criterias: British Pullman it is! Before starting the designprocess I made a decision regarding price. I must be able to complete a passager car for less than €90. This as I really do want to have at least two of them behind the Emerald night. This means a few details have been accomplished using stickers rather than brickbuilding, something I don't really mind. Furthermore the interior is empty as the plan is to add this with existing pieces from my collection. Reference picture: Edited March 13 by -DoNe- Quote

-DoNe- Posted March 2 Author Posted March 2 I couldn't help myself, I had to do a render with the entire train set. Notice the new connecting rods from the Orient Express. Quote
Ts__ Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Very nice wagons, beautiful, elegant color scheme and great built. You'll have to help with the Emerald locomotive though: it looks too small in height compared to the wagons. Thomas Quote

Currently working on a updated version of the coaches. Thanks! Quote
Shiva Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I think the wagons are fine. Rather, the loco could help a bit beefing up? Quote

The_Cook Posted March 4 Posted March 4 Everything looks a little out because it's an 8wide coach on a 6wide train. One has to grow, or one has to shrink. Lovely carriage design though. I used to watch 35028 Clan Line pulling the Pullman coaches through Clapham Junction first thing in the morning after it had left Victoria. Quote

Thomas I think you too might be onto something. I lowered the coaches by 2 plates and raised the tender by one plate. It all lines up nicely now but the proportions of the coaches feel a bit of. Maybe those extra blak XL-drivers I have laying around should finally see some use with a beefed up Emerald night. On 3/3/2025 at 12:14 PM, Man with a hat said: That's a beauty. Nicely done.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted March 5 Posted March 5 At first sight I thought it was a metal carriage from some rolling stock manufacturer ...impressive work, wonderful result! Quote
Shiva Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Beefing up? Yep, that would be nice to see. Emerald Night beefing up, my tips "I'm NOT one of those pro builders here": Keep the boiler as it is, maybe, maybe add length to the smokebox? Widen the cab. + widen the tender. Does it need more length? XL drives? Those might fit quite nicely. How big drives would fit to it? Sort of modding it to look more like the, original? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Peppercorn_Class_A1_60163_Tornado Quote

Thomas I couldn't resist giving it a quick shot. Nothing finalized but its a MOC-up of what a Emerald Night locomotive could look like using XL-drivers while maintaining the original Pullman coach height. Quote
