MOD: 2-6-0 Steam locomotives, rolling stock, & related items

[Murdoch17]

Here are my MOC / MOD Wild West engines, rolling stock, and assorted items.

First up: motive power!

(These engines were built using Zephyr1934's pistons attached to my version of the Lone Ranger steam engine. These are the two versions that are buildable using this design.)

Built in 1880, for Brick Railway Systems (BRS), engine #270 was a general service engine, but was usually used only in fast, named-train passenger service. It was last used on the faster passenger trains in 1899, when it was painted in black & red and sent into regular freight / local passenger service. It was supposed to have been scrapped in 1915, but was saved along with late 1800's passenger stock and a caboose. It was sent to the Imperial Freight Museum where it is stored in it's original dark green & black paint scheme. it is operational, but is only steamed on speical occasions or when requested by Hollywood for one of it's films. Engine 270 happens to have a sister at the museum, engine #262.

Built in 1879, for Brick Railway Systems (BRS), engine #262 was a general service engine, built for freight as well as passenger service. It was saved from scrap in 1914, bought at the last minute along with peroid correct freight cars by the Imperial Rail Museum. It was restored to working order in 1943, and is a mainstay at the Museum. Engine 262 happens to have a sister at the museum, engine #270.

Next up: structures!

(NOTE: This is not my design, as it was downloaded sometime in 2010 from LEGO Factory. I'm only uploading it becuase it's a nice model,it fits this theme, and may be useful to someone. This model can fit cabooses (including set 10014 and my custom western caboose.) Eight wide trains with no overhang (like the above 2-6-0 steam engines) will also fit.)

Built using instructions from a online magazine but changed to suit my tastes and better fit the late 1800's feel.

Inside view of the station. The room on the left is the ticket office, which has a door to the platform. The room on the right is the waiting room.

Personally, I'd like to use the Queen's Bridge Station from Brick Builders Pro, but until I win the lottery, this willl have to do.

(LXF for this station comming soon!)

And now for something completly diffirent: Rolling stock:

I used two Files avalible from the Eurobricks official sets in LDD topic for the freight train. I used set 3225, (Classic Train) featuring the freight caboose, brown gondola, and large single dumpe car. Link to fellow Eurobricks user sjup's set 3225 file at Brickshelf: http://www.brickshel...assic_train.lxf The other freight cars use set 2126, (Train Cars) which has the water tanks car, small double dump car, & red drop-side gondola w/ trees. Link to sjup's set 2126 file hosted at Brickshelf: http://www.brickshel..._train_cars.lxf

I was inspired by the 2001 My Own Train set caboose (10014) and passenger car (10015) to create my own version. They are one brick taller, and are colored dark green for the passenger cars and combine with freight door, while the caboose is dark red.

The LXF for passenger train is comming soon.

That's about all I have for now...

Comments, questions and complaints are welocme!

Nice work Murdoch! The bridge looks nice too! About the trains, I like them very much, the boilers though, will look better if they are more cylindrical I think.
