LegoCityFanatic Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Ever since I found out this forum, I instantly wanted to build a MOC, but couldn't find any inspiration. Then it hit me. Build the train you've been taking most of your life. This train belongs to the LIRR and was first introduced in 2005-2007 but was instantly a success, way better than the earlier M-1, which I will also make a MOC of. Enough jibber-jabber, let's show the MOC! Okay so the first picture is the front which is a little box-ish (Hey, it's Lego) The second one is a side, the other one is exactly the same (MTA isn't too creative) The third one is the back, which looks very simple like the older LIRR trains The last is the real thing This MOC is not nearly as good as some of you guys could make it. It consist of 686 bricks and I would make a middle engine between the wheels but I couldn't find the parts. It also has no interior, since the program would excessively lag. I would love to build this in real bricks one day. Comments and criticism is welcome. Edited July 4, 2011 by LegoCityFanatic Oversized Image (800x600 is max size per EB's site guidelines) Quote
Superkalle Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Hi A few tips for taking screen captures in LDD (Ctrl-K) 1) Take them zoomed in a much as possible, to avoid too much empty space around 2) Edit them in a photo editing software to remove even rest of the empty space and to reduce size. 3) Save as PNG to maintain the transparency (to avoid the grey background). Also, if you have a computer that can handle it, try turning on the brick outlines and advanced shading as it will make the model looking even better (IMHO). PS: A very nice move to also include an image of the real train Quote

And I uploaded the photo of the real train so I won't make people search it up to see how they look alike I like your rendition. Very cool! Thanks! It's not the best but it's an effort Edited July 3, 2011 by LegoCityFanatic Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Very nice project! The CAD pictures look great like the original one! Don't warry about the interior if you have build this perfect shape you'll be able to complete the train with driving seat and passenger seats! Keep on... Quote
