You have done great, the locomotive and rolling stock look great

Nice looking Steam Locomotive and rolling stock.

Just awesome, brilliant layout and I loved the automated coal unloading and loading.

All my recent train mocs use the Lego Power Function AAA Battery Box and I use Duracell Ultra AAA Batteries in the battery box and never had a problem, always works for me, never had a problem.

Just Beautiful, A great street car

It make the models come to life even more, just brilliant

A great Lego train layout.

A great looking Steam Locomotive, just beautiful, are you planning to build for real.

I would use Power Functions and the Lego RC Track plus now with ME Models, you have more curves to use, and if you decide to go 9 volt, ME Models are doing Metal Tracks as well, and you can combine both, use a old nine volt motor to recharge the Power Functions rechargeable battery,

Looks good, a nice train / subway train,

A beautiful train, lots of detail.

This is my Lego LDD Modularized Preserved Railway Station built from 10 Large modules and 18 small Modules and raised Lego Train Track on Lego Light Blueish Gray plates and Tiles. The Preserved Railway station can be increased in size and height by adding more modules. The Large Modules are divided into Platform Modules and Station Building Modules, while the small modules are thing like Lego Minifigures, Station Lamps, bench's, Station Signs, Apart from the Lego Station Lamps and and the Lego Benches, the rest were designed by me, the LDD Lego Preserved Railway Station MOC has 4042 Bricks not including the steam Locomotive and Coaches, and the LDD Lego Preserved Railway Station MOC is 466 Studs long (145.62 inches), 56 Studs wide (17.5 Inches), 31 Studs high (23.97 Inches High). The Preserved Railway Station can handle a maximum of three Lego LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coaches and 1 Lego EKR No 5 Steam Locomotive.

This is my LDD Lego Version of the LBSCR 48 foot Bogie Coach which was first introduced on the LBSCR in 1903 / 1904, built in June 1903 at Brighton in the uk, by the mid 1930's the were being converted from 48ft to 58ft coaches, however some were sold to people to use as homes, storage and etc or being scrapped to surplus requirement, so not many examples have survived.However in 1989 one lucky surviving example was found at West Chiltington in 1989 by the Bluebell Railway, where it had stood since 1931, used as a domestic dwelling and latterly as an aviary! It survived in relatively good condition having been placed on a good base, and with a roof covering it completely, the LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach was restored and returned to service in 1999 and had a overhaul in 2010 - 2012 where the doors were replaced, the steam heating upgraded and the wheels re-tyred, The roof can be removed to remove or add Lego Minifigures as passengers.

As suggested by zephyr1934, i have added I added 8 x Part 2412b Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Grille with Bottom Groove, Metallic Silver to represented the vents View of the LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach with vents added Closer view of the LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach with vents added I have redesigned the Lego LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach so it can be easily converted to two LBSCR 4 Wheel type Coaches The redesigned LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie Coach, the coach body is designed to split in halve between the 4 and 5 2x3 train window. The Lego LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie Coach with the roof removed, middle compartment wall and seating and the underframe removed, and mid wall between 4 and 5 2x3 train window removed. The coach bogies removed and the coach body split into two sections. The end walls rebuilt where the coach body was split into two. The roof put back on each LBSCR 4 Wheel Coach Bodies (the roof is designed to split in the middle). The 4 Wheel Coach Wheels Sets (converted from the bogies and some extra parts). The LBSCR 4 Wheel Coaches with the attached wheel sets. The new smaller under frames for the LBSCR 4 wheel Coaches (the first is upside down and both are made from the bigger under frame from the LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie Coach and extra parts). The LBSCR 4 Wheel Coaches with under frames attached. All the extra parts used in converting the LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie into 2 x LBSCR 4 Wheel Coaches. The Lego LBSCR 4 wheel coaches will go around the standard Lego curve train track.

Lego should introduce a Power Functions 9 volt battery box which would be small enough to hide in small form factor and I think they should add Radio Control to Power Functions.

I would rather that Lego brought out a new Steam Train passenger set with the 2x3 and 3x4 Train windows as there would be a cheaper supply as currently the whites one are expensive and as for the tan train windows even more expensive.

I brought one for my nephew Connor who loves trains, and if they do reduce in price I might buy a couple for spare parts or moccing,

Will be designing some coaches based on the old East Kent Railway, these and the steam locomotive and goods van will be used on a model railway based on the East Kent Railway, hopefully start construction on the layout later this year or next year depending on available funds.

It this part which does not exist in green, Brick, Round 4 x 4 with Hole ( it is used for the boiler x 7 times). And I know that Brick, Round Corner 2 x 2 Macaroni with Stud Notch exist in green and while the others may exist in green,I decided to dye all the parts in the green shade to get the same color right through the model.

Hi, over the last few weeks I have been designing a new Lego Steam Locomotive in LDD, the Steam Locomotive is based on the East Kent Railway Steam Locomotive No 5 and is 34 studs long, 8 studs wide and 10 bricks high, and with the SR Goods Van the Locomotive and Goods van is 53 studs long when coupled up. The East Kent Light Railway no 5 was based on the East Kent Railway which was a light railway engineered and ran by Colonel H F Stephens which ran from Sheperdwells (NR Dover, Kent) to Eythorne which was a junction between the main line and the branch line to Tilmanstone Colliery, the main line ran from Eythorne to Eastry which was another junction between the main line and a branch line which ran north towards Sandwich and Richborough Port, the Main line continued towards Ash and then Wingham where the line came to a end, the was other planned branches including the line from Wingham reaching Canterbury and another branch to deal from Eythorne, but these plans failed. The East Kent Railway Steam Locomotive No 5 was a LSWR 415 Class 4-4-2T Steam Locomotive designed by William Adams and introduced to service on the LSWR (London and South Western Railway) in 1882 and was purchased from the Ministry of Munitions Disposal and Liquidation Commission in March 1923. The Steam Locomotive stayed on the East Kent Railway until March 1946 when the Southern Railway purchased her for £120 for the Lyme Regis branch where two of her sisters had kept services going for over 20 years and is now at Sheffield Park on the Bluebell Railway awaiting restoration. Due to the LSWR Class 415 4-4-2T having no tender or my model not long enough or deeper and wider boiler to hide the Lego Power Functions Battery Box and IR Receiver, I decided to build a SR 10 Ton Goods Van to house Lego Power Functions Battery Box and IR Receiver.

Due to some of the parts not being in the right colour I have decided to buy all the green parts needed in white and the wheels in clear from Big Ben Bricks. and dye some in green vinyl dye from vinyldye.co.uk the green shade I will be using is the TRG Green Vinyl Dye Plastic Paint Aerosol 150ml which looks like a close match to the green colour I need. As suggested by Srbandrews, I have changed the tops of the tanks to black and continued the black line right to the back end of the cab. Update All the parts are now order from Bricklink and Big Ben Bricks, 16 orders in total, paid for 6 so far, waiting for the rest of the invoices, still have to order the Vinyl Dye Sprays from Vinyldye.co.uk Update I have made some changes to the SR 10 Ton Goods Van, the changes include vents which I did not include and now a power switch on the roof enabling me to turn the battery box on or off without taking the roof apart. Showing the new bents (the slopes in the end) and the power switch ) the 1x1 tile jutting out above the roof. A view of the insides of the SR 10 Ton Goods Van showing the Lego Power Functions Battery Box Power Switch made from Lego components (2 x 1x1 tiles, 1x2 tile, 1x1 tile and 1 x Modified Plate 2 x 2 with Pin on Bottom), A metal spring will put between the Technic Plate and the Modified Plate 2 x 2 with Pin on Bottom (metal spring will be from a broken 6 L Technic Shock Absorber) A Closer view of the Power Switch made from 2 x 1x1 tiles, 1x2 tile, 1x1 tile and 1 x Modified Plate 2 x 2 with Pin on Bottom. Update As of now I have all the parts to put the model together, I still have to dye the white pieces to the green shade I am using, then I can put it together.

As soon they are available to purchase, I plan to buy some as due to several family crisis this year, I could not afford to back this project

It looks nice, great details, how many pieces did you use to make the coach.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been designing a Lego 16mm Scale Narrow Gauge Locomotive based on Roundhouse Engineering Live Steam Locomotive 'Lady Anne', the Lego version is 5 Inches Wide, 6 inches high and 13 inches long, the narrow gauge locomotive is powered by Lego Power Functions XL Motor, Battery Box and Receiver which the Locomotive Body fits over The locomotive body can be separated from the locomotive chassis to allow access to the Lego Power Function Battery Box to turn the power on or change the batteries when needed or to adjust or fix the gearing if something goes wrong. To set the Big Ben Bricks XL train wheels exactly at 32mm Gauge I had to put 3 Nylon Washers between the Lego Technic bricks and the Big Ben Bricks XL train wheels, I used 18 nylon washers, the washers were brought from Modelfixings. The information below shows the dimensions of the nylon washers I used. Thread Size MF Ref Inside Diameter (mm) Outside Diameter (mm) Thickness (mm) M5 MF-NW05 5.3 11 1.0 The Lego 16mm scale Lady Anne narrow gauge locomotive model is not finished, the coal bunkers on the tanks need to be finished, the lids to the water tanks need to be added, the cylinders and the connecting rod to the coupling rod need to be added, the rear coal bunker needs to be added, plus other details like pipes, outlining and naming plate, working front and rear lamps. I may be adding Brandbright Centre Buffer Coupling which will be permantly fixed to the locomotive by drill a hole in the spot where the current buffer, this is so I can try to pull some 16mm coaching stock with my Lego 16mm scale Lady Anne narrow gauge locomotiv. A back view of the Lego 16mm scale Lady Anne narrow gauge locomotive body, the holes in the back are for Lego Technic Pin with Stop Bush (Part 32054) which bolts the locomotive body to the locomotive chassis.

I might have to build it 8 studs wide and somehow figure the gearing, as I have built a chassis for a 16mm scale narrow gauge Locomotive which runs 32 mm track, the locomotive chassis is 11 inches long and 5 inches wide, the gearing for that train is the same as the Emerald Night and my Lego LNER Flying Scotsman Locomotive which is base on Emerald Night.

The 0 Gauge track arrived this morning in the post, built a test chassis and tested it to see if it would run, with the XL Motor fitted to the chassis with the IR sensor, I hooked it up to a the Lego Power Functions battery, it would hardly move even with the IR Controller up to maximum speed, the immediate gear next to the motor runs at normal speed,but the gear which the axle is attached to runs very slowly, so unless I can come up with another way of motorizing the Lego locomotive, I will have to abandon the whole project

Since I got the Lego Technic Set 8070 I prefer Studless Beams to Studded Beams, I only use Studded beams in other Lego Models to build a frame for the model to built, like Steam Locomotives, big space ships to make them strong and light enough to pick up
