garethjellis Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Does any one have an LDD file of a good Mallard they would like to share? Quote
JopieK Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 you could ask Lazarus! See this topic: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=82023&st=225 Quote
Lazarus Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Yup I think I have the closest i think to Plans for an A4. But they have not been tried and tested so if you are going to invest in building this (expect cost around $300nz to make) they maybe issues with running. I have just had to hevely overhall both my A3 and Class37 plans to make them run on my layout. Some people might no have the issues like I do though. I cant take credit for most of these as they are clones of other peoples designs but i did put my own time in to replicate these in LDD. Last time I showed some of these images I took a bit of heat, for stealing/copying. But as the creators of the orignals did not have plans for them it was the only way i could replicate there good work. Edited July 14, 2014 by Lazarus Quote
Bricktrix Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I know of someone (though I cant remember who it was now) who built one using the images from my Flickr album. Quote
yeomanry_trooper Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I've wanted to have a go at this, my Dad used to take me to see Sir. Nigel Gresley when it was near our house, years ago now :-( Carl is it okay for Lazarus to upload his LDD file? Quite new to the MOC scene so am trying to understand the way people do things.. Quote
Lazarus Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Bricktrix I replicated this from your images. Quote
Lazarus Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 LDD to large to attach, but have added to my brick shelf. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=545768 Just remmber is it a Beta model or there will likly be issues with the build somewhere. Quote
Bricktrix Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Bricktrix I replicated this from your images. Yes I know, it wasnt you I was talking about. Someone brick built a very good rendition and posted the images on Flickr or Brickshelf, but I cant find the emails from them to link the images to or even name the user ! Quote
Redimus Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 LDD to large to attach, but have added to my brick shelf. http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=545768 Just remmber is it a Beta model or there will likly be issues with the build somewhere. Just says the folder is not yet public. Quote
JopieK Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Just says the folder is not yet public. it is now, it often takes a while :) b.t.w. it is a great train! also a great LDD version!! Quote
ScotNick Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Hmmm, thanks! But if I can remember correctly Bricktrix' model used BBB XL drivers, does that matter for the LDD file? Quote
JopieK Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 XL is comparable to the wheels from the Emerald AFAIK. Quote
Redimus Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Oh yeah, it's working now, cheers! Not looked too hard at it yet, but I love the effort that's gone into the tender! Quote
Murdoch17 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Actually, XL wheels are bigger than the LEGO ones... regular Large Big Ben Bricks wheels are the the closest to the official LEGO Wheels. Edited July 18, 2014 by Murdoch17 Quote
codefox421 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Actually, XL wheels are bigger than the LEGO ones... regular Large Big Ben Bricks wheels are the the closest to the official LEGO Wheels. As I remember, LEGO actually modeled their drivers after Ben's L drivers... or at least drew inspiration from them. In terms of size, a 48 tooth gear is a good substitute for the flanged XLs and a backward flanged L works for the unflanged XLs. Quote
