MOD: Ultimate Emerald Night

[CCOOK]

Here's the Emerald Night in all its glory, only with multiple unique cars attached to it:

Two first-class club cars:

Baggage car and caboose:

First-class regular car:

Club cars opened:

Second-class car - notice the small tables in front of each seat:

Third-class car - just seats in here:

Baggage car close-up:

Baggage car top off (two safes and a huge luggage rack in here):

Baggage car wide open; the ramp folds up and slides into the bottom of the car:

Oh my, I wonder if I'll ever be able to turn my Emerald Night into something as great as this! Great work!

It would be really nice to have seen an image of the train standing in a straight line!

Impressive, Lego should have offered this setup.

Great stuff, CCOOK.

I like how you've done the 2nd and 3rd class carriages, cramming in progressively more passengers as they do. Baggage car is cool too.

The double deck observation cars and nice red caboose lend a North American feel to what I've always seen as a British train. Perhaps it's a Canadian Pacific service.

First thing I thought is: LOOONG!

Being more serious, very good job.

[lostdriveway]

WOW!!

Great work!

[Gigi]

Very good! I was thinkin' for the second and third class to something similar! Good job ! Still, the caboose seems a little "on its own"...

[jonwil]

Nice job although I think it would look better with some kind of observation/end car (the kind with the wraparound windows or the open balcony at the back) instead of the caboose. Were cabooses normally found on passenger trains?

I agree.

_{Honestly, I didn't see your post until just now.}

I think it's the kind of bricks the caboose is made of.

I'm for a observation car too.

Me 3. I would think an Observation car would be more fitting than a caboose. It's too out of place. I LOVE the baggage car and the fold-out ramp, though. Great idea.

This is simply amazing!

[Gioppa]

Very Good!!

From the italian fan of Emerald!

[Gregorovich]

Wow, I'm impressed! I love how each carriage is unique according to it's class. I wish I could build like that!

[gotoAndLego]

I think the caboose should have shared the engine's green color scheme.

[lightningtiger]

Totally AWESOME 'CCOOK', what a train !

Brick One 'CCOOK' !

[Ayrow]

I agree.

:-)

[gotoAndLego]

I agree.

:-)

That being said, the red caboose would be great attached to Hogwarts Express.

All right - here's the train split up and set on straight track; there's not really enough room to take a decent photo with the whole train in a straight line:

Here it is from the back - I hesitate to add power functions since they really mess up the look of the engine and its tender:

Here it is again:

Stay tooned in the coming weeks - I've already blue-printed the designs for an Allegheny double-piston locomotive and a General Electric ES44AC. . . . . . .
