    Didn't know the Corner Garage had any toilets. Wished I known that earlier.

    1. It is based of a coach from Trainz: A New Era. It is for the Dominion passenger train of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The locomotive I built was a G2 class Pacific, also from the Canadian Pacific Railway. 2. They are supposed to be bathrooms, but due to the small size, I was unable to actually put any toilets in there. The bathrooms are just empty shells compared to the rest of the train.

    I have yet to make one, and even if I did, it would NOT work with what little track I have. The coach requires r56 MINIMUM. I tried the standard r40 on LDD and it did not sit well at all

    Thanks. I'm still trying to get it approved. I'm sure it will be on there soon.

    Thanks

    It has been almost if not exactly or more than a year since I created the Z-6 challenger. I originally thought I could not improve it any further, but it turns out I was wrong in more ways than one. The model you see before you is a MASSIVE upgrade compared to the one I originally made. It features new trailing truck and tender bogies which have been needed to be worked on for quite some time. Those bogies that were once on the original model were both blocky and incomplete at the same time. The trailing truck is now more gradually sloped and the tender bogies now look like they were off the prototype. I also was able to number AND letter the locomotive where it represents an MTH version of the model (The MTH version of the locomotive was the source of my inspiration to constructing this behemoth and how I became a fan of this design). If you have noticed the display track the locomotive sits on, I bet you can guess what is going to become of it. But to leave no one on a cliffhanger, I will say that it will be going to the Lego Ideas website to become an actual product. If you wish to have this model on YOUR Lego train layout, be sure to support it. I will let you all know when it appears on the Lego Ideas website when I update this topic.

    Thanks Thank you

    Unknown. I have not decided for the time being. What were you referring to, the Z-6 or the coach car
  9. Craig Strader
    Hey guys, I thought I could post some new content, which in this case is rolling stock. Here is the following: Coach Car: Here is the Coach behind the G2 Pacific Here is a caboose Here is the caboose behind the Z-6 Let me know what you think You can also post your own here if you wish to compare

    How long are the coaches in studs?
  11. Craig Strader
    It looks good. I have a steam train of my own on Lego Ideas. It is called the Z-6 challenger
  12. Craig Strader
    Thank you man. here is a proper left side of the locomotive
  13. Craig Strader
    Here is a crude example of it. Sorry. But this is all I can squeeze in for now Do you know another way that I can post images BESIDES Flickr. I tried it before and it doesn't work
  14. Craig Strader
    In a way, it looks vaguely similar to the Baldwin Ten-Wheeler off Railway Empire. Only this variant is a wood burner, has a different paint job and of course a narrow gauge steam locomotive. Other than that, it looks really good

    I know it has been a while since I posted on this site so my first, the Z-6 challenger link to it will be posted here for those who forgot about it. But I also came across another steam locomotive that struck my interest, enough actually for me to recreate in Lego. Thus, without further delay. I give your my take of the Western Maryland's exclusive 4-8-4 "Potomacs". Just to note. It is 10 studs wide and is one of my earlier builds, therefore it is an older design with PIVOT bogies, not the bogies I use on the Z-6. Z-6: Northern Pacific Z-6 Challenger - LEGO Train Tech - Eurobricks Forums Let me know what you think of them.
  16. Craig Strader
    I definitely agree. My Z-6 challenger is actually among the trains on Lego Ideas. I also passed 100 supporters as well
  17. Craig Strader
    I understand. But I propose an idea for the BrickTrainDepot website. How about you do a voting page where everyone can vote on what they want to see put into production
  18. Craig Strader
    I've seen your Z-6 challenger before. Will you eventually make it a full kit product? I am a huge fan of that engine.
  19. Craig Strader
    You could also try the Crocodile AKA 10277. It's a challenge but very good
  20. Craig Strader
    What will you come up with next?
  21. Craig Strader
    It looks good. All you need to do now is to build it WITH custom disc drivers along with an ESE consist to go with it.
  22. Craig Strader
    I haven't thought about that yet. I was planning to make passenger cars to recreate The Dominion. But unfortunately, I have bigger problems coming up, and that is college
  23. Craig Strader
    Yes. I was just telling you that I posted something new, that was all
  24. Craig Strader
    I also posted my G2 Pacific as well
