That's fantastic! Your train building skills prepared you well for shipbuilding! -
[moc] Virginian AE 2-10-10-2 Mallet
Pdaitabird replied to SteamSewnEmpire's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Great work, especially the subtle slope of the boiler. It's nice to see someone building an articulated locomotive that isn't yet another Big Boy. There are so many interesting prototypes like this one that aren't modeled very often - you've certainly done it justice! -
Birth of a new Lego city [UPDATE #24 Overpass completed! ]
Pdaitabird replied to HereWeGoAgain's topic in LEGO Town
Very nice city layout! At first I thought the heater was a large building with columns...it blends in well! -
[MOC] Frisco #1501 (4-8-2 Mountain Type)
Pdaitabird replied to legonerd54321's topic in LEGO Train Tech
That looks really nice with those decals! -
Thank you! I spent a lot of time combining various elements of English place names to come up with one that I liked. I had finally settled on "Abbot's Glen," thinking that sounded English, rural, and generic, and had a nice Medieval sound to it. Unfortunately, checking Google Earth revealed that that name was already in use...by an "inappropriate" resort in Vermont! Meeting someone named Stuart gave me the last bit of inspiration, so I changed it to "Steward's Glen" at the last minute!

Looks excellent - I love the sand green for the boiler and all the attention to detail! -
Adventurers - Sam Sinister's train of evil with 4-6-2 steam loco (finished MOC)
Pdaitabird replied to Murdoch17's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Now that looks like something from the diabolical mind of Sam Sinister, and very much in keeping with the 1920s feel of the theme! Nice work! -
What is the best color for GN steam?
Pdaitabird replied to SteamSewnEmpire's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I would be interested to see what regular green would look like. Perhaps you could post a side-by-side of your GN atlantic for comparison? You're right that both colors are darker in real life. I've seen an older GN model by @zephyr1934, linked here, that used sand green. It's a surprisingly good match for the faded paint of an engine that has been exposed to the elements. It might be worth a shot. -
That's a great creation - and congratulations on being featured in Brickvault's latest video!

[moc] Great Northern Private Observation Car "Olympic Sunset"
Pdaitabird replied to SteamSewnEmpire's topic in LEGO Train Tech
That's incredible! The overall proportions look nice and the interior detailing is great. I don't know, having a game of billiards while the train is moving might make for some interesting wagers! -
I didn't even know he had a name!

Thank you! I'm from the good old U.S. of A...I'm just a bit of an Anglophile!

Thank you! Thanks, and welcome to Eurobricks!
-
What a great little scene! That's a clever use of the upside-down bricks for the towers.

Excellent work!

That looks amazing! The detailing is really top-notch!

@Feuer Zug Thank you!
-
Nice! I really like the brick-built lettering and the different aspects of construction at the railhead.
-
Excellent work on the windows and the locomotive as a whole!
-
Great work! I like the sloping firebox and small secondary cab.
-
Very recognizable! Great work!

Thank you! I agree that a tiled roof would look better. One of my self-imposed constraints with this build was to only use parts that I already had, so I reluctantly stuck with studs. Thank you! Thanks! I think a different roof style would have looked better too, if I had 264 1x2 tiles! @Brandon Pea @zephyr1934 @Jerry McGlade Thank you! Thanks! Every station needs a place to eat and pass the time, because trains are always late! @The Reader @Asper @carebear Thank you!

[MOC] Narrow gauge diesel engine "V 52" in 1/25
Pdaitabird replied to Asper's topic in LEGO Train Tech
That's fantastic! I like the SNOT windows and the detailing around the couplers and bogies. -
Very nice! I like all the details in the kitchen!
