16mm Scale Lego 4 Wheel Coach

[jamesed_1971]

Hi, Last year I designed a 16mm Lego Scale Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive which was capable of running on 32mm track, around last August I designed a 16mm Scale Lego 4 Coach which can be pulled by the 16mm Lego Scale Narrow Gauge Locomotive.

By May this year I had all the parts I needed to build the 16mm Scale Coach including the metal buffers from Brandbright and the XL Driving Wheels from Big Ben Bricks.

The next couple of photos show the 16mm Scale Lego 4 Wheel Coach being pulled by the 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive on Peco SM32 Track.

The Black buffers are made by Brandbright, A online shop which cater for the 16mm scale.

I found out since I finished building the 16mm Scale Lego 4 Wheel Coach, that Brandbright have retired, currently I am trying to find another make of 16mm scale center buffer with the hook for the next coach.

Nice. And it is big!

I always wonder about the stability of those narrow gauge trains.

How do you attach the buffer to the lego?

[jamesed_1971]

The Brandbright Buffers have a screw on the back, a 1x2 Lego Technic brick is used with the screw going through the hole and it is tightened with a screwdriver, that's how the buffers are attached.

Amazing scale ...I like the wagon and the locomotive togheter!

The use of BBB wheels is a wise choice!

Next year depending on if I can get some 16mm scale center buffers like the four I brought from Brandbright from any of the 16mm scale narrow gauge suppliers, I will build two more 16mm scale 4 wheel coaches to go with my 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Steam Locomotive, this will in addition to a 16mm scale model railway I am planning to build once I have my own place next year.

I have brought two sets of !6mm Centre Buffers which I will use in building two more coaches, I am still designing the Lego 16mm Guard / Luggage Coach, so hopefully once I have all the brick and parts I will be able to build two more 4 wheel coaches.
