Murdoch17 Posted January 5, 2016 The Emerald Night MOD into the Flying Scotsman looks awesome! Also like the "really useful engine" in blue. Keep up the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THERIZE Posted January 5, 2016 Yeeh new Scotnick projects. Man it has always been great to see your models. Man that Scotsman!!!! The snot curvers for the buffer beam looks nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lazarus Posted January 5, 2016 height vs Length is the issue i see with the FS, it needs to be 20% longer at least to make the model look even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScotNick Posted August 13, 2016 *blowing dust off the thread* Oh, time to update this thread again! Now I'm sure many of you have seen my latest creation, if not here's the thread: http://www.eurobrick...opic=137890&hl= height vs Length is the issue i see with the FS, it needs to be 20% longer at least to make the model look even. Regarding the Flying Scotsman you're totally right, but the real problem is still that the wheels are too small. I know it needs to be longer as well, but right now my goal is to make an Emerald Night mod that doesn't have to look too realistic. Also I upgraded it with a tender (with battery box and receiver in there, PF XL motor in the engine) close to the one Bricktrix and Michael Gale are using, but with the frame a little bit different. Now some WIP pics of other models im working on The Ajax And class 4041 engne of the Austrian Federl Railways And my updated 1400 class Now I still need those [insert swearword here] stickers before I can say the model is finished Hope you like those, I'll open a thread when they're done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legownz Posted August 13, 2016 Great job! That rolling stock gives me a serious nostalgia to the before mentioned blue tank engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted August 15, 2016 Some nice models there. I love that Ajax! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beck Posted August 27, 2016 Those are some VERY nice models. For some odd reason I love the boxiness of the class 4041. I have been meaning to ask how do you construct your leafsprings on the rear axle of the GWR tank engine. Also how do you attach them to the mainframe? I'm asking because I'm working on one of these.

ScotNick Posted February 2, 2017 Sorry guys, I think it has been a bad routine from me not answering for so long, but my studies keep me busy. I promise I'm going to answer immediately this time.

Regarding your question, I hope it's not too late, so here's a pic of how it is done. Also regarding my models, I have some news. I've been working and working recently, so I might show you some real life models this year, rather than just "silly" renders But I still have some renders to show, and I hope you like them! Now I'll start with the oldest, which I actually have built in bricks, but didn't come around taking pictures bogie bolster wagon by ScotNick1, on Flickr Next is a redo of the Flying Scotsman I've already shown you in this thread - but some requested to change the model to BBB XL drivers, and here's the result LNER A3 with BBB XL wheels by ScotNick1, on Flickr My next model is an Austrian electric engine which you undoubtedly have seen if you visited Austria at some point - really they are all around! helos made a Railjet version which he presented here and Lego Train 12 Volts mad his own version which can be seen here. Soon I took my inspiration from those models and built my own in LDD - only getting to the result that I wasn't happy with Lego's motor side plates and the whole underframe - so I changed it every now and then and recently got an acceptable result which you can now see Siemens ES64U2 - ÖBB Taurus by ScotNick1, on Flickr My just recently designed and newest creation is a BR MK I CK Corridor Composite Coach - which was a result of less hours than I expected - only the underframe has to be changed at some point. BR MK I CK Composite Coach by ScotNick1, on Flickr Right now I'm also collecting bricks to build those two coaches for the engine I've already presented here Hope you like it, even though I haven't shown much in real bricks to this day - collecting bricks is much harder than I thought Cheers, Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redimus Posted February 3, 2017 Really liking that Mk1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColletArrow Posted February 3, 2017 These are simply gorgeous... especially the MK1 coach. I can't help but imagine it in a lengthy main-line train behind the Flying Scotsman, just a very expensive one! How are the narrower windows held in? Are those 1x2 grill plates at the base of each one? The 'Annie and Clarabelle' (Thomas the Tank Engine) coaches look like they could be turned into a GWR B-set quite easily too, again part colours and availability notwithstanding.

I have enough windows to build two of the MK I coaches and an extra brake coach. The narrower windows are from this door and are fixed by part 2412. I'll put one of the rilled tiles under and one above the window (upside down) but LDD won't let me do it The 'Annie and Clarabel' models are loosely based on these coaches of Midland Railway origigin Regarding the colours and availability - I designed them to be built in real life, so all the parts exist in dark orange. I'm already collecting parts, but it takes some time as I have to make orders from multiple shops Edited February 3, 2017 by ScotNick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScotNick Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) Been a long time since I last posted here, but I have some new models to show and didn't want to make a new topic. First of some real life train ideas I had: Going the diesel way?! by ScotNick1, on Flickr Also tried out the new rollercoaster wheel parts Some experiments by ScotNick1, on Flickr Had some design ideas for a box van... Vent Van concepts by ScotNick1, on Flickr ...which still needs some part to get finished Vent Van WIP by ScotNick1, on Flickr Tried my hands on the front of a Siemens Eurorunner, very much still a wip though Siemens Eurorunner - ÖBB 2016 (Hercules) wip by ScotNick1, on Flickr I revised Bricktrix's A4 LNER A4 with XL wheels by ScotNick1, on Flickr I also revised my Ivatt Atlantic and made her a bit longer Revised Ivatt Atlantic by ScotNick1, on Flickr And in the last couple days I designed an LBSR B1 Gladstone engine, the tender is not yet done, I think it's a bit too long, but I'm open to all suggestions! Enough Gladstone for now by ScotNick1, on Flickr Cheers, Nick Edited July 8, 2018 by ScotNick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingFordFalcon Posted July 7, 2018 Wow! I absolutely love the P2 in the pic with the A4 and C1! The smoke deflectors and angled smokebox must have been difficult to do. I like the B1 as well, what colour are those bricks? It has a very pink sort of tone Very nice use of rollercoaster wheels as well. Should we expect some narrow gauge engiens in the future? ;) Love your work, very nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The P2 will hopefully be done by the end of the year, will see what I can do (she's already 90 % done). The colour of the B1 is medium nougat, but I think the colour fits much better in real than on the render. Haha, about the narrow gauge engines, the advantage they have is that I wouldn't need many parts... Not sure though, maybe only as a load for my well wagon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hod Carrier Posted July 8, 2018 Some excellent updates there. I like that you don’t ignore humble vehicles like the vans and pack as much thought and detail into them as you do into your larger headline-grabbing steam locos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zephyr1934 Posted July 16, 2018 The locos are great with lots of details (the pilot/plow on the Siemens is simple yet brilliant), the steamers are fantastic, and the goods vans are smashing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pelzer117 Posted July 17, 2018 Good to see the progress. The brick builded ÖBB logo is a timeless masterpiece! Will you also go to build the 4020? Never seen a better version then yours!
