2024 update to my original 2002 passenger train - real world MOC
Murdoch17 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
Originally, me and my dad made me a train way back in the early 2000's as my first train MOC. (you can see it as the last photo of this post) At my request, he got rid the bright colors of the original 1980's train sets it was inspired by with more subdued tones. The black and red are what became the standard color scheme for my fledgling railway for a good many years. And now, two decades later in 2024, I'm updating this original train again. This time, I've Americanized them. Before they were more European looking, with a baggage car at the rear - now, they will have an observation car with a platform at the back and the baggage car added to the front of the train instead. I also added a updated 4-6-2 steam loco with a 7-wide cab and tender inspired by the works of @SavaTheAggie. I really liked the cab and tender from from the 2-6-2 steam loco I recently built (which was originally a Sava design) so I decided to make another engine that uses them too. I took a 4-6-0 frame (originally from the 2023 Hogwarts Express loco) model, stretched it out a bit and added the 7-wide cab to make it a 4-6-2 Pacific (the 2-6-2's tender design was stretched out quite a bit too!). I also put on a bucket as a funnel like in the Orient Express LEGO set. Rear of the loco, with the stretched tender design mostly taken from a few Sava models. (his 2-6-2 for the basic look, and his 4-6-0 for the stripes) BRS stands for Brick Railway Systems, which has been my railway for twenty years. This anniversary prompted me to make this revised MOC. Inside of the cab, which has also been lengthened by a stud since the last time I showed it off. Inspired by set 7722 (steam cargo train set) and the red / yellow guard's van. These three coaches were inspired by the red and blue coaches of set 7715. (Push along passenger train) The observation car is my own design. ...and here is what it all looked like originally. (picture circa 2017) The diesel at bottom left is long scrapped, but the original 0-4-0 steamer survives to this day. This tiny loco was inspired by set 7722 (steam cargo train set) while the steam engine's tender was inspired by 3742 (My Own Train series) from 2001. Thoughts? -
Hello all Ok, this one has been bugging me for quite some time now. I think someone out there have a collection of all the trains and versions of 3740 and 3741 including the 3742. But I have not been able to find a picture of them. Ad since I'm an collector myself I need to get my hands on them. In total we have 10 trains from 3740 (5 colors; dark grey, black, green, brown and green – 2 versions of each color) and 10 trains in 3741. 5 trains from both 3740 and 3741 also have a coal wagon 3742. So I also need 10 of them (2 of each color). Well this is just a start and I guess me trying to ease my anxiety ;-) The biggest challenge so far is of course all train specific parts, such as wheels, buffers, magnets etc.. And don’t mention the stickers. All though I find myself to be a purist, I think I must reproduce them to keep the costs down. Stay tuned /W Two pictures of me in the process. I decided to start with the easy part - the coal waggons ;) Due to limitation of only 100k picture I cannot upload more pictures...hmm strange....
