MOC Lego LNER Flying Scotsman STeam Locomotive

[jamesed_1971]

Just after my birthday las March 2013, I decided to buy the Lego Emerald Night Steam Locomotive Set as a late birthday present, but as the prices for the set were over £150 on Bricklink, I decided to buy the instructions for the Emerald Night Steam Locomotive instructions from Bricklink and build the model in LDD 4, Once I had build the locomotive in LDD 4, I decided to redesign the model in LDD to make it more like the LNER Flying Scotsman Steam Locomotive, and buy the parts I would need to build a physical model from Bricklink, including Shipping and packaging, the cost was 92.46, a week later after i had placed my orders in Bricklink, the parts arrived and I started to build the model.

Below are some photos I have taken recently of my Lego LNER Flying Scotsman model, the front lights work, but the rear lights are just dummy lights, the model is 18 inches long,8 studs wide, 3.5 inches high, and has just over 900 bricks in the model.

A nearly a year since I built the Lego Flying Scotsman model. I am now planning to rebuild the model with Big Ben Brick XL Wheels and custom coupling rods and finishing touches like the running number, LNER by using O Gauge Lining and lettering decals.

Check out my Moc page for my 8 wide FS model I did a year back.

Hmm...not bad.

In my opinion, it could do with a bit more work on the cab windows, but the tender is a very good one. Keep up the good work!

The rebuild will include the cab and tender, with dark green Lego replacing the black lego in the cab and tender walls, better windows, the sloping bricks will be replaced with curved sloping bricks and the battery box will be replaced by the Lego Power Functions rechargeable Battery box, and rear working lights

A nice MOD, there are a few parts that came out in the past year or so that will make the fenders over the wheels look better too, e.g., 93273
