Murdoch17 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 After seeing this awesome Flying Scostman ( http://www.flickr.co.../in/photostream )on Flickr around early March, I decided I could make a 4 wide boiler for the Emerald Night. I then went a little crazy with it, using LEGO digital designer and LDD Manager to help me create the ultimate Emerald Night fleet using all the colors I could with as little parts changes as possible. (However, One part still stands out:http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=50950 in reddish brown does not exist... yet.) I then built a color-coded coach fleet, with one baggage, three coaches, and one guard coach (Is that what you call it in the UK?) to each train. THe LXF for the entire series is at the bottom of the post. Pictures of the engine's new features: Front view Rear view, with the 7 wide tender. Run-you-over-view Now onto the complete trains: (Guess which real life city has a LEGO Land counterpart... and yes they are US cities with a UK based train.) The Emerald Express is used on the route between New Lego City and Brickago. This train runs through the driest parts of the country on it's way from Houstud to Los Legolas. The Skiers Special is used only as a shuttle between the town of Salt Brick City and the Ski Resorts in the mountians. The Ruby Sleeper runs all-night as a cross-country train. It starts in Brickago and runs out to Los Legolas through the heart of the country. The Indigo Star is a international train that runs from Quebrick to New Lego City. This extra special train (called the Darkest Knight) was created by Brick Railways for Wayne Enterprises for "classified purposes". All the trains together, as is in LXF.

Locomotive Annie Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Oh now I do like what you've done with modding the Emerald Night. I always thought it looked far too overboilered to properly represent many of the larger UK express steam locomotives. Great to see all the colour variations too, I particularly like the red and the blue versions. Quote
Spitfire2865 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 The Nights are taking over!!! Haha. Very nice mods. Quote
timmyc1983 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Awesome, i was thinking about a white EN the other day and it looks great!! I think if i ever do MOD one i would use white.... They all look fantastic Quote
Murdoch17 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Thanks everybody!! I'm planning on making my brown & dark green Emerald Nights have a 4 wide boiler in real life... just need to find the time! Oh, and anyone who can spot the Batman shout-out gets a cookie!
