ust60 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) My new freight wagons, in contrast to my steam engines not built myself but bought himself. Seven wide, are extremely heavy, and maybe something colorful, but I like them. By chance I found it in a second hand Lego store in my hometown Duisburg in Germany Best regards Udo Edited September 5, 2014 by ust60 Quote
Frank STENGEL Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Nice! How did you build the sides? I imagine you used jumper plates... Quote
Dan-147 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 My new freight wagons, in contrast to my steam engines not built myself but bought himself. Seven wide, are extremely heavy, and maybe something colorful, but I like them. By chance I found it in a second hand Lego store in my hometown Duisburg in Germany Wow!! I wish second hand stores here in Canada were so well stocked!! Any chance you could take pictures of a partly disassembled waggon so that we could see how the sides are built? Dan-147 Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 I am impressed especially with the box wagons. Where did you get those yellow sliding doors from? Very nice job. Good to see a wholle train of them coupled up together! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Wow Udo!!! You've done a great work! I love the dark gray wagon and the yellow one ...see so many cars pulled by giant steam engines is awesome! Quote
Man with a hat Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 That's a very nice find. Those boxcars look great indeed. Quote
ust60 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Hi guys, I am pleased that you like the freight cars. But again !!! The steam engines I have built. The freight cars I bought. The freight cars I have not built myself. In the city of Duisburg in Germany where I live. There are two second hand Lego store The 1. second hand Lego store opens on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. http://kleinanzeigen...1829144-23-2145 The 2. second hand Lego store on Tuesdays and Thursdays http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-anzeige/eleni%60s-bunter-steine-shop-an+verkauf-von-guterhaltenen-lego-%C2%AE/213229039-23-2143?ref=search Who I drive 15 km / 9.3 miles, both can be reached. The first business I've met already Netherlands Lego builder. " This is as similar to Brick Linck for touching " The freight cars are not my work !!!!!!!! I do not know who is the builder. Unfortunately!!!!! With best regards Udo Quote
Frank STENGEL Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 Thank you for the extra photos. The building technique is quite interesting. I'll see if I can adapt it to one of my covered wagons... Quote
Cara Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Where did you get those yellow sliding doors from? The yellow doors come from a 1984/85 freight train and cargo center. They are a very nice find. (As are white and red ones). Those carriages look great with your engines! May I ask, how much do the shops near you sell their bulk lego and those wagons for? Quote
ust60 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Hi Cara, Same problem as always. My low language skills. The translation program only writes nonsense. I think you want to know the price. The price of the freight wagons. Is that correct? The prices were very individually. The red, the blue and yellow were 25, - EUR / 32.36 USD. This is curious. The four yellow doors cost at BrickLink maybe more than 25, - € / $ 32.36 USD http://www.bricklink...10&searchSort=P A few would cost 35, - Euro / $ 45.31. For the gray of the shop owner wanted 45, - EUR / 58.26 USD. But I was lucky and I got Rabat. I hope your questions are answered by that ? Best regards Udo Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Excellent set of cars. The SNOT "plank" look on the ends is superb Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Hey Udo what a great gift with those pictures! I like also the lego shops... Quote
ust60 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Posted September 13, 2014 Hi guys, I bring this post up again. I present, " The next generation of freight wagons ". There are tank wagons. This time they are not purchased. There are self made. With many orders and it all started. That does not look nice. Down in the basement in the hobby workshop. A drill bit that prevents the pin from being crushed. Carefullyvery slowly and with much feeling. Wanna know what he looks like from the inside? Now "only" it again new parts at Bricklink order (eg. Pins and other stones), because as you can see some parts I had only in the / wrong color in stock, and then we have to wait and wait and .. Finally ....... two bogies including homemade and from it. Best regards Udo Quote
Rail Co Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Wow Love the Tanker you are making! I really like the use of shaving off some of the plastic to make them work with the quadrants! -RailCo Quote
zephyr1934 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 The tank cars are a nice build, thanks for sharing your secret tricks. Quote
baard Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Nice tank cars! Looking forward to seeing the finished bogies as well! Quote
ust60 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 Hi guys, for all who wanted to see the tank wagon with chassis. Here are some pictures so he is probably finished look ........ provisionally. A few nice stickers I would have to search. I think he sees otherwise "naked" to off. Best regards Udo Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Hey Hudo, You have done a great work: that thank wagon is huge and beautiful! Thanks also for sharing those amazing picture ...clever technique, your skill are increased! Quote
