modular train shed - real world extended 10027 inspired model - a 21 year journey!
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
In 2003 I got World City set 10027 (Train Engine Shed) and played with it for number of years, but it was sadly destroyed sometime around 2007 in an attempt to make it totally enclosed - this was because I didn't have the skills or the parts. (I also didn't know about Bricklink at the time) Then in 2014 I made it again, but this time it was far too large (96 studs long and 32 wide) and unwieldly when moving it - which lead to that MOC being scrapped in mid-2016. These two abortive attempts to modify the set were recently on my mind, so I decided another run through of the set was in order - with slightly-expanded length and enlarged entrances to allow for bigger modern locomotives (such as my steamers) to pass through, but yet small enough to not be a burden when transporting. (The total shed length is capped at 80 studs, and will not be extended.) The outside of the shed. I replaced the original expensive black sliding doors from the set with a brick built version. You may have noticed it's not a fully enclosed building: I didn't complete this MOC because at Gateway LUG shows in the past, I've gotten public comments about not being able to see inside my train sheds. So it's half a shed - but fret not! Unlike the original set, this model is modular and two copies of my MOC could click together using technic pins at both ends if I ever wanted to build another one. The five roof sections are removable, with the middle portion being the extension to the original set. Some of the tools of the shed (L to R): foreground: drill press Lathe big oilcan Octan 55-gallon oil drum (not shown here) Vise (not shown in this pic) background: lug wrench small oilcan socket wrench drill various wrenches The repair shed crew. The shed with my 7-studs wide yellow 4-8-4 loco in it in an atmospheric B&W shot for that old fashioned feel. I even wrote a story for it: 'It's mid-August 1944, and World War II is raging on multiple fronts across the globe. American trains run coast-to-coast nonstop, taking men and material all over the country to be shipped everywhere you can imagine to stop the Axis powers and win the war. The railroads are at their absolute peak during this conflict - never before have they moved so much so quickly. Still, regular maintenance must be done, even during the austerity conditions of war. Steam locomotives especially need servicing every once in a while, and here we see Brick Railway Systems 4-8-4 number 5086 just arrived for a light overhaul and tune-up. The staff of the servicing facility pause in their duties for the government photographer, get the publicity picture taken, and then get back to the grimy, greasy, dirty work of railroading. 'Keep 'Em Rolling to Victory' say the government posters - and this is exactly what this crew intends to do!' Thoughts? -

Hi guys, A while ago I bought a 10027 train shed from a dutch 2nd hand website. This train shed had for the dark gray parts dark bluish gray parts and I thought that was normal. I thought it was odd that the set had the new dark gray colour and the old light gray colour. I just assumed that the old gray colours weren't replaced at the same time (that replacement took place during my dark ages). This week I got another 10027 train shed and that set had dark gray (old) parts! So I checked Bricklink and it turns out that according to Bricklink the (old) dark gray colour should be in the set. So now raises the question: could it be that Lego sold both versions during the time it was for sale? Or did the seller of the first set rip me off by replacing all the dark gray parts with dark bluish gray parts? He did a great job though, even the 9V rails are dark bluish gray!

Steam Locomotive Repair / Storage Facility - sets 60009 & 10027 MO
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
I based this model off of set 60009, (Helicopter Arrest) with the tools from set 10027, (Train Engine Shed) and the canopy specifically designed after the Roberts Shed at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri. This model is modular with the office connected to the shed via two Technic pins, and the roof and second floor connected to each other and the first floor by only a few studs. The 2-8-2 "Mikado" usually sits on the far track (near the rear of the office), while the 2-6-0 "Mogul" just barely fits on the near track. (near the rolling garage door) The building with the garage is the offices for the entire repair shop. Below the offices is where small parts are stored until the repaired engine is ready to go to it's home shed. The ground (or first) floor contains a lathe, drill press, and a vise to help maintain any engine that rolls into the workshop. This floor also features a garage which can house a small automobile of about 16 studs or less in length. The second floor contains a desk with chair, couch, & filing cabinets containing repair records. The office also contains a wood burning fireplace and a small deck by the stairs and over the garage. This picture here shows the inspection area, where mini figures scramble all over the engines to check for leaks, oil joints, and do last minute touch-ups to the paint. Here are the locomotives that go with this shed: 2-8-2 Mikado This engine is made up of four different models. This includes ScotNick1's 2-10-0 9F European steam engine, which was shortened to a 2-8-0. The second model is set 10194 Emerald Night, from which the rear truck was taken. The third model is Anthony Sava's Pacific 4-6-2 model and that comprises the inspiration for the tender. The boiler was inspired by the one in set 79111 Constitution Train Chase. Together, these different engines from four different eras and four separate builders come together to create this one steam engine. This model is actually a serious MOD of the Constitution Train Chase (set 79111) with Zephyr1934-designed piston design and Anthony Sava-inspired tender from his 4-6-2 "Pacific" with stripes from his 4-6-0 "Ten Wheeler".
