SavaTheAggie Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) The derelict, rusted boiler of the Emerald Night locomotive taking its' last journey to feel the final sting of the scrapper's torch. Built for Tim's Mini Challenge #1: Weathering. --Tony Edited August 28, 2009 by SavaTheAggie Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Hmm...I'm thinking that I prefer it in dark green and gold. Great job, very nice idea. It made me feel sad though to look to my window sill and see the Emerald Night looking so mighty and powerful then looking at your rusty version. Nice SNOT use. Well done. Quote
aawsum Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 Interesting idea. This would be the way I can include the emerald in my collection The real one does not fit in my "modern" collection. Very nice how you just use a basic wagon and added it on there. Quote
muffinman42 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 the emarald night fits with "modern" collections, it can be a preserved steam locomotive thats been fitted to main line safty regulations(many have been) Quote
aawsum Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 True, but I guess it is just a personal opinion Quote
SavaTheAggie Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks to everyone for the replies. Believe me, as a steam engine fan it was painful to build this MOC, but at the same time I have to recognize it is a logical and very real step in the lifespan of most steam engines. I'm tempted to turn this into a sort of maxi-vignette, put it on a 16x32 green baseplate and add some grass, flowers, and maybe another piece of derelict machinery. --Tony Quote
prateek Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 What an epic end to the Emerald Night Great job on aging it Quote
