SeaKing61 Posted December 10, 2021 Just wanted to share my latest project, a mk1 BCK (brake composite corridor) coach in GWR/BR chocolate and cream livery. This follows on from the techniques I developed for my Mk1 Inspection Coach. I wanted to develop a more general coach and make use of the 5 tan train windows from the Emerald Night coach. Non-Corridor/Toilet Side View by Laurie Bennett, on Flickr The compartment side of the coach which has 2 extra windows for the toilets. Corridor Side View by Laurie Bennett, on Flickr Corridor Side. Yellow stripe indicates mk1 compartments Commonwealth Bogie by Laurie Bennett, on Flickr Commonwealth bogie I developed for this model. Compartment Details by Laurie Bennett, on Flickr Compartments. Tables aren't entirely prototypical but they cover some of the structural detail. Blue moquette for first class and red for standard. There is no interior on the toilets or guard section due to the need for structural strength. Thanks for looking Laurie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGOTrainBuilderSG Posted December 11, 2021 Very nice! Love the use of dark brown chairs to get that roundness of body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JopieK Posted December 11, 2021 Very nice! It really shows that with newer parts more realistic models can be designed / created. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, it took a lot of experimenting to get the top of the chair to line up with the 8-wide window section. Lego DB999508 by Laurie Bennett, on Flickr 1 hour ago, JopieK said: Very nice!

zephyr1934 Posted December 11, 2021 That's a great looking design! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeaKing61 Posted December 11, 2021 Thank you. I need to get some more pictures of the end and gangways but it is tricky taking pictures of the all-black construction Thanks Laurie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted December 11, 2021 Spot on. This is a well designed Mk1 carriage. All the details are here externally, and the inside is fairly function too from what I can tell. Kudos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hod Carrier Posted December 16, 2021 Well done, Laurie. That's an excellent rendition of the ubiquitous Mk1 coach. The technique for the lower bodyside if very good and gives a nice gentle curve very reminiscent of the real thing. If I had to nit-pick it would just be that the size of the LEGO train window is perhaps a wee bit small at this scale. A brick-and-plate alternative may look a bit rough and ready close up, but I wonder if it might be acceptable at normal viewing distances and yield better proportions.

SeaKing61 Posted December 18, 2021 Yes I agree about the windows. I find it looks okay alone but when compared to a picture of the real thing it is extremely obvious. I may try brick built windows in a future project. As with any model it is a compromise. Thank you for your kind words Laurie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
