Murdoch17 Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) I don't see many 4-4-2 Atlantic types steam locos around in LEGO, and even less orange-colored trains besides the TGV-like Horizon Express and SP Daylight 4449. This should fix both problems at the same time, and yes, it's build-able in this color in real life. The Atlantic type 4-4-2 (4 leading, 4 driving, 2 trailing) was the top-of-the-line express train hauler in the middle 1890's to early 1910's. Some continued right up until the end of steam in the Fifties, with the Hiawatha's of the Milwaukee Road hitting 100 MPH speeds daily with this wheel arrangement. The engine should have "3110" printed on it's cab and "GREAT WEST" on it's tender in 1 x 1 tiles. The cab of the loco with four printed gauges and the firebox door. Four identical passenger cars in matching orange paint-scheme are pulled by the Atlantic-type steam locomotive. The words GREAT and WEST are supposed to be printed on the 2 x 4 tiles on either side of the cars. Here you can see the whole train at once. I'm not sure when or if this loco and it's consist will be built, but if it is I will update this post here with better, real-world photos. LDD file available at this link here. As usual, Comments, Suggestions, Questions, & Complaints are always welcome! Edited January 22, 2018 by Murdoch17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JopieK Posted January 20, 2018 Great job Murdoch, you did it again! Very much in the My Own Train style! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steamdemon Posted January 21, 2018 Awesome Atlantic. I think you're quite the LDD Train Designer. I'm also very impressed with your Hogwart Hall locomotive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, I try to help other by adding LDD files, so that others may build trains that I may never build in real bricks myself. It also keeps a handy record of my style as it progresses over the years! speaking of LDD files, the one for this Atlantic and it's passenger train has been added here at Bricksafe.
