Wild West steam locomotives - four real world MOCs (finally after three years, they're done!)
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
This long journey started in November 2021 with a used copy of Toy Story 3 set 7597 - Western Train Chase - bought from a local Lego resale shop here in St. Louis. I quickly expanded the loco to have a tender, then working pistons, and finally rolling stock. I was then inspired by the original 1955 engines from Disneyland for a second coal-burning loco, (the C.P. Jupiter and U.P. 119 from the Last Spike Ceremony of 1869 was also an inspiration!) and then awhile later a 4-2-4T styled after the C.P. Huntington. (This became a 2-4-4T last December.) The 4-10-0 was originally 8-wide, and was built before I got the 7597 set in August 2021. I never liked it in eight wide, (I never even photographed it in that form) and when I was taking apart all my eight wide MOCs recently, I took pity on it and converted it into 6 wide to preserve it. Then, I tooj photos of all the locos... I still haven't finished some of the freight cars, so the rolling stock will be added later. (I promise it won't be three more years!) The trains all together. This is the first one finished. This 4-4-0 pulls my passenger train. Rear of loco No. 1. It's styled as a mid-to-late 1860's wood burning loco. You could also say it is likened to the Jupiter and the Gov. Stanford of Central Pacific Railroad fame. This is my coal burning 4-4-0 (numbered 8), and pulls my railroad executive's train. This is modeled after a early-to-mid 1870s loco, but it could be considered to partially resemble the Union Pacific 119 from the Last Spike ceremony of 1869. The 2-4-4 tank engine I'm using as a switcher. In my fictional backstory I wrote, loco No. 4 was originally a 0-4-4 Forney loco that soon needed a leading two wheel pony truck to operate better at speed and keep wear down on the front set of driving wheels. Of course, in reality, it was first built as a 4-2-4T like the C.P. Huntington you can still see in the California State RR Museum, or at you local Zoo / amusement park, as smaller-scale replicas are made by Chance Rides for places like that. This loco (No. 3) is modeled after the only 4-10-0 to ever run on US Rails. This, of course, was the 1883-vintage El Gobernador. (Spanish for "the Governor") The real locomotive was a colossal failure, but this one is (in my fictional backstory) built from the plans with the mistakes corrected, making the loco a good drag-freight engine. ...I just realized these locos are almost all modeled after CP engines! This was totally accidental, and wasn't noticed until I made this thread. Anyway, that's all I got. Comments, questions, and other things like that are welcome! -
[MOC] Destiny's Bounty from unused Concept Art
Jamin Star posted a topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
This MOC of the Destiny's Bounty is based off of some unused concept art for a western season of Ninjago that was not made. I've only seen three pictures of the concept art with only two of them containing the Destiny's Bounty, each with a slightly different build.

[MOC] Lake Champlain Horse Ferry (Working Replica)
elfprince13 posted a topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Historical Info Horse-powered ferries (also called "team boats") are a unique form of transportation popular in the United States in first half of the 19th century. The most sophisticated version, invented in 1819 by Barnabas Langdon, mounts a treadwheel just below the deck, which is geared to a pair of paddle wheels. Slots in the deck along two teams of horses to be hitched, facing opposite directions, and maintain a steady forward gait powers the boat. A wreck was discovered in Lake Champlain's Burlington Bay in 1983 and remains the only archaeologically studied example of a turntable horse ferry in the world. More information about this unique piece of transportation history, including how to safely visit the wreck, can be found through the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. About the Model The model is geared to allow a Technic motor to power the treadwheel + paddlewheels, and makes the horses trot inverse-kinematically, as demo'd here: A look at the full ferry: A cutaway showing the internal gearing: Some more shots from minifig-POVs: -
Hi there, during the past months, I created a new LEGO stop motion music video for my Wild West layout "Brickson Valley". Here is the result :) And if you don't mind, tell me what do you think and which story you like the most. :)

Here are some Studio renders of my western boomtown tent building. The white pieces on the roof and sides are there to represent tent fabric, when I am able to actually build this MOC I will probably use fabric or paper instead of the white pieces. This particular building is of a restaurant. 1.7 Layout by Jamin Star, on Flickr Tent Building v1.7.1 by Jamin Star, on Flickr Tent Building v1.7.2 by Jamin Star, on Flickr Tent Building v1.7.3 by Jamin Star, on Flickr Tent Building v1.7.4 by Jamin Star, on Flickr Tent Building v1.7.5 by Jamin Star, on Flickr Tent Building v1.7.6 by Jamin Star, on Flickr Tent Building v1.7.7 by Jamin Star, on Flickr

Hi :) Here is the ultimate presentation of my Lego Western City as a travel video. :) I hope you will enjoy watching it. And I'm happy about every feedback.

Some confederate soldiers. I put them on a yellow background so they didn't look too good - the title is a nod to them rising in insurrection against the US and being on the wrong side of history. The torsos are largely taken from official figures with some of the print partially removed.

Howdy folks! As a child growing up, the LEGO City theme has been my most favourite theme. I also experienced some LEGO Adventurers, LEGO Spider-Man, LEGO Creator, etc. I never owned any LEGO Western sets or Lone Ranger sets, but had seen them online. I would save up pocket money, birthday money, Christmas money, to purchase LEGO sets from Woolworths (UK), Moons Toy Store (UK), or Argos (UK). They were "the good old days", indeed. Today I am a AFOL - adult fan of LEGO. Fascination and interest of the Wild West and Western has began to grow since playing - Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) - by the famous Rockstar Games. It was indeed an incredible historic time period, with a lot of room for imagination and adventure. I would love to someday make a LEGO Western town main street, but seek advice from the Eurobricks LEGO community. If I was to build a Western setting, what should I consider? Any recommendations? What town buildings do you suggest? Some structure ideas include: Saloon Hotel Sheriff's Office Bank Stable General Store Gun Store Undertaker's Town Hall Train Station w/ train Barbers Mine & Mineshaft Hunter's Shack Fisherman's Shack Shack & Houses Fort ? Church & graveyard Addition ideas: Riffles, guns, pistols, dynamite Railway Wagons & horses Cactus

The starboard nacelle was acting up again. He'd have to set the shuttle down and run some diagnostics. Hopefully the inhabitants of this planet were friendly.

As the 6th Maine headed south away from Gettysburg, Corporal Breckinridge spotted a huge blasted tree trunk that must have caught artillery fire. He smiled and thought to himself, “That must have been a big tree!”. It was the first time he had smiled since the battle had ended.

Ever since they had crossed into the Colorado territory, she couldn’t help but think the clouds looked like elephants. ----------------- This build will be installed at History Colorado Center in Denver, Colorado for the summer

Western is one of my favourite discontinued themes (sadly it has been dead for 25 years now). I would like to share a bit untypical Western MOC with you. My target was to create one "unreleased" set that could fit in classic line (and appear in 1998 alongside another wave of wild west sets). So there is no newer parts (or colors) and graphic presentation is strongly related to original Western theme. For me the most obvious object missing in the whole theme is saloon, so I decided to build it, together with small barber shop. Well, here is set #6768:

When she had first seen the mud cracks, they had immediately reminded Marie Ansberg of a Biergarten dance floor she had seen in Vienna as a child. The thought stuck in her mind and she plotted a dance party. The snowpack was melting in the mountains and the wash by her house was flowing, so she invited the entire town population out for a celebration. Joaquin sang them songs of homecoming. Terence's fiddle solos wove together with Herbert's righthand piano lines. Lucas kept them swinging to the beat with the upright bass. Though it cast shadows, Marie wasn’t going to let a singular cloud darken the festivities. They danced well into the night. ----------------------- Built for the 2022 Rocky Mountain Train Show in Denver. A fun chance to use some new inverted arch and hot dog pieces! Had fun with the paddle bridge. The building is inspired by @Ayrlego's recent southwest MOC. The vulture is built using Stefan G's tutorial technique.

Corporal Jenkins was glad to get out of the fort. Their company had been stationed there for the past four months and life was becoming monotonous. When Colonel Herrod had tapped him to come along for some target practice, he had jumped at the chance. "Excellent shot, sir!", he called out as the colonel blasted an empty bottle resting on the barrel. They heard hoofbeats approaching - it was a rider from the fort. As they came within earshot, Private George called out that Black Bart had been spotted to the north near the foothills of the Blocky Mountains. They saddled up to head back to the fort. Black Bart's days were numbered.

As the first of the wagons headed into the shadows of the Sierras, the wagon train captain shuddered a little to himself. They were a little late in the season to be headed for Donner Pass. His old wound from the Mexican war was acting up and that meant weather.

Lieutenant Ferguson of the 3rd Cavalry was on leave from Fort Caine and headed home to his cabin with his dog Hercules. He was pleased to see the hearth fire burning as he approached from the stream bank - his wife must be preparing dinner. He would surprise her. However, as he got closer to the house, he saw a black form scurry behind the cabin. Hercules made chase.

Hello, Brickwest Studio, formerly submitted by BrickyBricks82 to Lego Ideas, was given a second chance in the Bricklink Designer Program Round 2 competition. Due to the tragedy on the set of Rust, this set was moved to the Round 3. It had a good chance to qualify for production in round 2 but I fear it could not in the round 3 as a lot people are chatting about the 8 other projects. Only the first five designs to reach 3,000 pre-orders will be produced. I wonder if the fans of LEGO Historic Themes plan to buy a set like this? If you do, maybe we can make it real :) I love this set because it has an Old West vibe ;) What do you think about that? If you want more details, here is the link to the Bricklink Designer Program crowdfunding and the link to the Brickwest Studio project. (I don't know BrickyBricks82 and I have no interest in this project ^^ I just love this set and would like to share it with other people who would like to get one like me ;) )

Hi I'm in the process of building a western town. Then I will hear if there is any- one who could come up with any ideas for which bricks are good to build with. It could be anything from landscape, houses, mountains and much more? Hope there is someone with some cool ideas :-) Sorry I'm not good at English Have a nice day :-)
