WesternOutlaw Posted January 25, 2010 Thank you all for the comments and suggestions regarding a train for Old Mexico's Town with No Name. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to attempt to build a Santa Fe Western Train with more detailed MOCs than that of my past train creations. I'm quite pleased with this first addition, a small Santa Fe Hopper: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterab Posted January 25, 2010 Over the next few weeks, I'm going to attempt to build a Santa Fe train with more detailed MOCs than that of my past train creations. I'm quite pleased with this first addition, a small Santa Fe Hopper Oh this is very nice, I particularly like the sleek look of the sides due to the tile join being hidden by the logo. I like the reinforcing bars too. You've got a right to be pleased, from experience, I know it can take some time to improve when you attempt to make more detailed Mocs, but this makes it seem for you it was effortless.

Rick Posted January 25, 2010 Really nice start of a train. The dark tan works really well and the background for the 'box art' is great! Looking forward to more... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rijkvv Posted January 25, 2010 I can only agree with the comments above. The type of car may be simple, but you managed to create a detailed piece of art. Do you have a picture from top? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Green Hair Posted January 25, 2010 You're getting better and better at these! I really like the dark tan and the tiles with the studs to the sides, with bars over it. Great job! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted January 25, 2010 Very nice - very well trimmed - I like it ! You've done it again 'The Brickster' - MOC guru ! I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commodore Hornbricker Posted January 25, 2010 While I am not a train guy and therefor not the best judge this looks pretty cool to me. I love it and the continuation of your theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Zuloo Posted January 26, 2010 Wow, this is great TheBrickster. It's nice to see you trying a different building style, and while you may have built more classic-style MOCs, this is certainly a good way to enter the world of highly detailed train MOCs. I look forward to seeing the end result, and I applaud you for stepping out of the box and trying something new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks for the feedback fellas. The tiles are actually old dark grey, not dark tan. Here's an unedited photo from a different angle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legostein Posted January 29, 2010 Hello! I didn't realize the story went on, as I was used to see the new sets in the historical forum. Yes, a great western city should also have a great train. I guess you can easily remove the planks at the sides for loading duties. I also like the new evening background image. Cheers, ~ Christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
