@Hod CarrierThanks. Yes my primary scale is 8 wide. Certainly helps being able to use 7 even 6 wide for the smaller locos. @LEGO Train 12 VoltsCheers. Here it is replicating being pulled by station pilot over track circuit rail (too small a wheel base to trigger circuit for signals). https://flic.kr/p/2p1A2fw

@Feuer Zug @ivanlan9 Thanks. Cylinder technic not mine (can't remmember where I saw it). But I always wanted to try it. Usually tread is wrapped around a gear. Mine is a round plate making cylinder diameter larger. @zephyr1934 Cheers. Party hat was the seed piece for this build. My son won a small Disney Princess Pack at a Brick Show with this in it. Certainly built with pride but black certainly covers up muck when they are in use. Gordon Edgar has a nice colour photo of original in remarkably clean condition for an industrial shunter. Paste link(rights reserved so haven't embeded). Even survived (but hidden after museum got knocked down). No1 was scrapped in 2018.

@Kivi Thanks. Link to video of it in action with old wheels and before the 3rd wagon was finished (motor is in first wagon. 9v battery/Pf reciever in the other). Fireless at Full Tilt by Liam Biggs, on Flickr

An old model with new wheels and conrods. Nice slow running rally shows off the motion. Despit only 1 stud holding each cylinder it very solid model.

@zephyr1934Thanks. @Supplement_CreatifThank you. So far all my locos have been mocked up in brick and I often find a better solution just after I place the Bricklink order. Studio would be a lot cheaper but my day job is CAD/CAM so novelty has worn off. Heres my original mock up not too far off the mark in this case(pity bucket dosn't come in black, 3d parts are rejects).

@JopieKThank you. @Feuer ZugThanks. On my NER K class would contain both water and coal on both side tanks. @GrandPixelManLOL cleaner anyway. Yeap pleased how saddle turned out I angled 2 long curved slopes with 3 longs ones where chimney(plus 2 tiles to reduce the gap) and pressure dome are.

@_TLG_@Sérgio@The Brick Boss Thanks.

This has been on my to do list for a while. Pity its black as its hard to see the details (even the front windows are hard to see).

@JopieK@Feuer Zug@zephyr1934 Thanks for the kind remarks. I often use 3d parts and stickers but this was was on the borderline of to much even for me.

LNER's smallest steam locomotive. Modeled as it first apeared. Only 7 wide which matches the scale of my 8 wide locos. 3d printed buffers/wheels/conrods and stickers.

I have a small tube bender (like a spring) and heat the tube. Although brass rod inside the rigid tube works even better. @JopieK @Asper @zephyr1934 @Ferro-Friki Thanks for your kind words. I will be posting a small steam loco shortly.

@Darkkostas25@Asper @zephyr1934 @Murdoch17Thanks. Been enjoying knocking out these small builds whith their own unique challanges compared to larger models.

Seeing Elis Clarks O gauge Wickham Trolley I had to have one. This is my smallest locomotive yet and is static. A petrol driven engineering personnel carrier. Scale is a little off being 1 stud too high and 2 or 3 studs too long. Minfig hands came in useful for both head/tail lights (highly illegal technique) and instrument panel. Almost pure build except for stickers and cotton for tarp.

Thanks Dave. He spent about a month on it. 3384 frames. Tommorow we will be playing it to the crowd at the Christchurch Brick Show. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/profile/15917-man-with-a-hat/ Cheers.

My first diesel/ 6 wide build. Plus my sons first stop motion film (hes 11). Fully detailed cab,
