sportinglife Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I'm currently working on a 5 cars passenger train named "Devon-Scot-Express". Cars intended for this consist are loosely based on pre-1948 british design. Cars are 36/38 studs long, 6 studs wide. Red livery, similar to BR "suburban" red. Here's a type S536 composite 1st/3rd. The whole consist will include: *composite 1st/3rd (shown) *open 3rd *vestibule 3rd/buffett *compartiment first *brake first compartiment Edited March 10, 2015 by sportinglife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScotNick Posted March 10, 2015 Looking great so far. Any other pictures? You might want to upload your pictures to a hosting site like flickr, so you can show more at once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Srbandrews Posted March 10, 2015 Very nice passenger car. The scale is excellent. What I really want to know though is what's going to be pulling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sportinglife Posted March 10, 2015 "Emerald Night" of course! Without smoke deflector (looks nicer ). A perfect engine for such consist dating from 1930s to lates 1950s/early 60s! My idea of LEGO train is: something a bit more detailed than ordinary "CITY" train, but not too heavy in scale with "CITY" environment. Some cars seen on internet are fantastic indeed but too long and wide to blend with ordinary stuff. What do you think guys? Looking great so far. Any other pictures? You might want to upload your pictures to a hosting site like flickr, so you can show more at once. I can't upload pictures anymore. I do like the underframe of your GWR railcar. I'd like something similiar, but it's a bit too detailed and complex for a relatively simply model for my taste. Lego models should sound solid in hand http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6240714 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Wolf Posted March 12, 2015 The scale looks good for the EN. I think you should ditch the little 1x6 tile you have covering the wheel frames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kieran Posted March 13, 2015 Looks great to me, i like the windows, it's just bricks stacked right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zephyr1934 Posted March 14, 2015 Very nice, and I like he effect that the old style clear 1x2 make with the center post. Looks like double pane windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sportinglife Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) ...it tastes very British! Normally people tend to reproduce famous trains (Rheingold, Orient-Express and stuff like that). I prefer these mixture of differt style cars to recreate a typical consist of the last days of steam in Britain and continental Europe. I have to add the gangways and work a bit on the underframe. Originally these cars were intended 7 studs wide, but later on I dropped the idea :-( http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=549621 Edited March 14, 2015 by sportinglife Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
