[MOC] Transperth B series EMU digital design

[BorgShadow]

This is my MOC of a Transperth B series Electrical Multiple Units using Bricklink Studio Lego designer. This train MOC is of the same name based of the real version that is currently in operation in Perth, Western Australia. I'm still creating it's instructions. I will eventually buy the bricks from online (Bricklink), Pfx bricks for realism and showcase it. I hope you will like it.

Eurobricks won't let me upload my pics directly

Hi! If you upload your pictures on Flickr you can directly attach the link of the pictures and they will be embedded in the text of your post :)

Ciao!

Imgur is also hassle-free (you don't need an account to upload, unlike Flickr).

Those are some tricky angles you've got there, great work. So how did you do the diaphragms, are those grill tiles?

Zephyr1934  I’ve used a series of 2*1 with 2*2 bracket with a 2*4 (2*2) curve piece to form the lower curve. The brackets used also to form the perimeter of a custom train base so the bogies wont rotate at ridiculous angles. Top of the bracket is a 2 stud wide plate then a series of 2*1 hinge brick to form the remainder of the diaphragm shape when bent. Then the remainder bricks on top as you can see is self explanatory. Due to that chosen design, I cannot use the 2*1 grille tile i assume you are mentioning, the real train does have groove patterns on its shell thou. But I did use those grille tiles for the A/C units on the roof. Cheers.

Go to the picture on Flickr that you want to embed here. Click on the Share button and choose BB Code. Copy the code and paste it into your post here. Done.

G'day everyone, I've posted a link here because I need support for my Lego Transperth train I've submitted to Lego ideas. If I get over 10,000 supporters, it will make the Lego group review my model and could lead to a potential official Lego set that you can possibly buy. I am spreading the word in effort to gain support.

If you wish to support me, sign up for Lego ideas account (link below), find my model and simply click 'support' I assure you there will be no catch. So I hope and pray you'll read this message and support me. If you have any questions, please feel free to send your questions, I'll do my best to answer them all efficiently as I can. Thank you :)

 

If milestones have been reached, I’ll release more photos (up close, interior, landscaping etc.).

You’re too kind mate. Cheers. It does work, lights, sounds and high definition motor control. It’s difficult to showcase, especially with COVID 19 around.

I'm thinking of sending this to Lego ideas

It took me a while to realize that it was Lego.
