Thomas Waagenaar Posted January 25 Posted January 25 Hello! After having posted my Baureihe 89.8, it is now time to show you the wagons I've built to go with it! All wagons have 3D printed wheels, so they're actually to scale to the prototypes, rather than the too small wheels that Lego produces. And they all have the custom 52ZZ bearing treatment, to ensure smooth rolling! Stickers are made by Brickstickershop, similar to my Baureihe 89.8 stickers. I decided to only stick to the bare minimum of stickers, being the "Bremsecken" (The white squares in the corners) and the "Destination plate" (The black tile, I am unsure how to describe it any better, if someone can correct me on this, please do!) The technique used for the side of the wagon, using the bracket and tile to get the right width of the vertical beams was inspired by "Pieter Post" on Flickr. Though I have no clue how exactly he did his wagons, I figured out my own way, using a metal technic axle in the middle, with the sections all sliding onto it to eliminate any possible gap! Anyhow, time to stop yapping, here are the pictures! Rungenwagen (Stakecar) Klappdeckelwagen (Lidded wagon) G10 gedeckter Güterwagen (G10 Boxcar) And as always, feedback is welcome! 💪 Quote

I got to say I love the Klappdeckels as well, I think this is amongst the first "proper" versions in Lego? 4 minutes ago, XG BC said: This is awesome! i love these. Have my follow on flickr. Thanks! I hope I'll upload plenty more you'll find interesting in the future as well! Got a lot of plans, haha Quote

Honestly i don't know because I am not that well informed yet, I did not know this forum excisted a few weeks ago... what I do know is that they fit your great steam locomotive, love that one!

Rogue Redcoat Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I was just about to search Eurobricks for some German train cars! Anyway, I was wondering where you found the dimensions to scale your model to. Is there a book that you used? I tried a quick internet search, but it did not reveal much about the dimensions or blueprints for German 1930s-40s freight cars. One last thing, can you link your Flickr below? I can't seem to get the link to open when I click the image. Quote

I can't seem to get the link to open when I click the image. I used a mix of different sources, Google searching in German for exact wagon types usually gets you halfway there, but if there isn't anything, I went to model railway sites. They usually have a model in whatever scale, that tends to be scaled correctly, so I used those dimensions as a base and went eye-balling from there! There's also these books, but they're mighty expensive, and whilst I'd love to use them, I can't afford them if I also want to afford the bricks... 🫣 https://www.stefancarstens.de/gueterwagen-buecher And this is the link to my Flickr page: https://flickr.com/photos/188448357@N05 Quote
LL1982 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Oh nice, loves these detailed wagons. The wood wagons though looking clean and easy, I like how you did the stuff and all the recesses. Also like those custom buffers on it. Gives it a different vibe than using the lego ones. Now I wonder how the whole assembly looks. ;) Quote
Elysiumfountain Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Those look awesome, very well done! So many cool details. Quote
Feuer Zug Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Great collection of older wagons. They look quite good and detailed. Quote
Ts__ Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Very stylish freight wagons with lots of matching details. They're not my favorite era, but I like them a lot! Well built! Thomas Quote

I'll make sure to take some photos once my train station is done, so it doesn't just look like an empty circle on the ground, haha 5 hours ago, Elysiumfountain said: Those look awesome, very well done!

What would be your favourite ERA? My "layout" is kinda from between 1954-1964 so far, though I might make some more modern locomotives in the future as well! Quote
JopieK Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Very nice lineup @Thomas Waagenaar. I also agree that the post-war era is very nice indeed for the model train (including LEGO) enthusiasts. Quote
Darkkostas25 Posted January 26 Posted January 26 Very nice set of wagons, and I don't know why, but they give me kozy vibes Quote

There's some great modern trains around, want day I'd love to build a NS VIRM, as that's pretty much the main (and only) rolling stock we really work with at my depot 😅 Quote
zephyr1934 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Those are some really great looking freight cars. Very clean build with lots of fine detailing. You make it look easy Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted January 28 Posted January 28 This is incredible ...after seeing your locomotive and telling you that I made a very similar one now the carriages...I think we both took after Pieter Post and his wonderful models! (I actually bought the instructions for the locomotive ) The wagon in the black and white photo (G10 Boxcar) is my favorite! Quote

And purists would probably cry if they'd see what I've done in order to complete them... 🫣🔪 On 1/28/2026 at 11:00 PM, LEGO Train 12 Volts said: This is incredible ...after seeing your locomotive and telling you that I made a very similar one now the carriages...I think we both took after Pieter Post and his wonderful models!

Yeah, Pieter Post his models were a great inspiration to get started! Because once I got those brackets down it, construction went really well! I'm kinda trying to make stuff others haven't really made before as well to a degree, but that's quite hard I have to admit...!
