    Just to let you know @ColletArrow, your pictures are no longer working in the first post.

    Like this @ColletArrow? This is a modified Hogwarts Express tender, which has been extended one stud in length, and now features side ladders to access the steam engine's cab. I also made the top railing of the tender more accurate to the real locomotive's 4,000 gallon GWR Collett tender.

    Since the rumor is that Harry Potter is coming back this summer, but without the Hogwarts Express. I thus made my own, but we will see if it gets built in real bricks by summer..... What do you think? I remade the tender size to be more in line with the real deal, and revised the pistons assembly.

    sorry, the best i can do is point you to the seller of the file: Baskerville Bricks on Bricklink also, since i'm typing in this thread, here is my newest train: It's a blue logging engine numbered 4. This geared type loco is called a "Shay" after it's inventor. They could only go about 20MPH at top speed, and were very steady on rough track, hauling trains up grades that would stall any other steamer type. This loco will have it's own logging train in addition to the red passenger train hauled by by 4-6-0 numbered 3, the green military train pulled by the 4-2-4 engine numbered 1, and the yellow freight train managed by 4-4-0 number 2. NOTE: The design of the original Shay I redid into my version was by Stephan Pakbaz over on Flickr, as seen below. (His LDD file allowed me to build my version) Flickr link

    My LDD refuses to update, and I've re-downloaded it twice from LEGO . com. Any suggestions? EDIT: never-mind, got it to work with the link from the other thread!

    Just messing around with some Wild West models I had forgotten about. The tepee is from set 79107, (Comanche Camp), the handcar and cactus are my own design, while the carriage is from a Brick-Link seller. ...and yes, the cover of the tepee is missing. it's not in LDD.

    Inspired by set 4885, (Spider-Man's Train Rescue) this four-car subway train features a removable roof on each car for access to the inside seating. The two black tiles on either end of the train are for the identification numbers / letters, such as the "A" train, or "01", for example. The studs just below the roof are for destination boards, on which you could put "LEGO", "CITY", or any other four (or less!) letter word as a destination for the train. The model is now motorized with power functions in the leads car, and each sections now has pantograph's on each unit which can be raised or lowered as desired. The front one also hides the RC receiver on the motorized unit, but this pantograph cannot be lowered, due to to being too close to the receiver to fully shut down. The four train car's roof sections are removable, and the train is supposed to be made up of two "set units" of four cars total, broken down into two groups of two. Each unit of two could operate individually of the other two if this were a real train, but they can not be broken down any further as they are supposed to be hard-coupled together. (As this is LEGO, however, you can do what you want!) The motor unit lacks seats, but features the battery box and receiver. The roof is removable for battery removal / replacement access. These three trailing cars have 18 seats total (six per car) facing in the relative direction of the "front" of the car. The roof sections are removable for easily placing mini-figures inside the cars. the LDD file is available at brick safe here. As usual, any and all comments, questions and complaints are welcome!

    Thanks for your kind words @Digger of Bricks! I think you might like the following add-on to the sub: I built this Technic-built depressed center flat car for the 1920's car in the foreground, but then I thought why not do something a little more extravagant, something that will really turn heads... Thus, I added Lord Sam Sinister's evil submarine (a stretched 21306 Yellow Submarine MOD) to the model, and it just barely fits! The model isn't particularly tall, as it's shorter than the Maersk train cars' inter-modal containers when double-stacked. There is even a prototype for this, with the CSS Hunley was carried like this on a flat-car in the US Civil War: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._L._Hunley_ Well, what do you guys think?

    This is the best 6-wide Santa Fe Super Chief loco I've seen in a long time! I especially love the rounded top over the headlights and onto the nose, I may have to steal that! Over all, fantastic work, I've just fave'd your photo stream on Flickr... keep up the good work!

    The model was updated again today, this time by being lengthened by eight more studs to allow for room inside, and a more side realistic profile.
  11. Murdoch17
    Thanks for your kind words! The doors to the platform are under the awnings, while the lettering was the best I could do with the pieces available. Thanks again for stopping by!

    This giant train station (96 x 48 studs) is finally done in real bricks! Please see the first post for more pictures.
  13. Murdoch17
    Thank you, the white / gray / black color scheme works much better than the tan or reddish brown I was originally thinking of when I designed this model. Thanks for stopping by Sander1992, and good luck on the Orient Expedition layout! I'm not sure what's ahead... maybe building some more period 1920's cars for my Adventurers layout.
  14. Murdoch17
    Yes! See the above post with the whole train file, as the hopper car is in there with the rest of the train.
  15. Murdoch17
    Real life pictures added to the first post!

    Thanks, I'll think about the skylights, but right now I've got this to worry about... I'm currently working in LDD on adding a train shed for the tracks next to my Art Deco train station. It will have to wait until next month (February) to be built in real life though.
  17. Murdoch17
    This railroad station is coming along nicely. I just need two more letters and to cut up a 48 x 48 base-plate into 16 x 48 strips.... plus I need to build the platform on those strips. Any thoughts?

    Here is the link to the page with the ldd file for the whole train: all the cars and the engine Enjoy!

    here you go: RSD-12 link. Enjoy!

    Thanks, but those ladder rungs were inspired by the original Whoward69 model, as seen below:
  21. Murdoch17
    Thanks, I really appreciate it!

    Thank you, buying those trans-clear macaroni bricks a was a pain, but it was worth it!

    Three-fourths of the way to finishing Lord Sam Sinister's house and I've hit a major snag. I miscalculated on a lot of things parts-wise, so this building will sit unfinished for now. The last four orders were placed today to create the final quarter of the building, so they should be here sometime next week (or so)...
  24. Murdoch17
    Beyond this door lies a most Sinister scene... do you dare Adventure beyond it?
  25. Murdoch17
    sorry for the year-and-six month bump, but this model has been changed from this... to this! The first post has been updated accordingly with the new pictures.
