WIP LDD British Mark 1 Maroon and Cream Coach

[jamesed_1971]

Just updated my design for my British Rail Mark 1 Maroon and Cream Coach which I designed last march, the coach is based on British Rail Mark 1 Coaches which were introduced in the UK in 1951 to replace older pre British Rail Coaches, the coaches were mostly 57 foot in length, some were 63 foot in length, my Lego version is 52 studs long or 16 inches long

UPDATE Just created a new version of the above coach and in two color schemes

Update. made a minor revision to the Lego British Rail Mark 1 Coach

I really like the color scheme, I would just move the bogies a little bit inwards. It also might look better if you would make the base plates black, just like the original. Despite that great work, it will be nice to see them sometime with your Flying Scotsman!

Hopefully I will start building some stock in the next few months

These do look very good, just as I recall the real ones looking from outside. I am not so sure on the interior layout though I guess like everyone there is a limit to what you can actually put inside one.

I am sure the Mk1 only had doors on each end not in the middle. Nice design, I need to rework my 8 wide ones to 7 wide.

Also those new windows are rare and expencive, thats why I still have not built mine they worked out to be about $100 nz each.

It depends on the the carriage type, the one I have modeled is the British Rail MK 1 SO (Second Open), as for the windows, all 16 will cost me £12.48, Lego part number 4033
