Buffer Stop Which version to Lego Train 9V ?
LL1982 replied to davidek_20's topic in LEGO Train Tech
How do you mean connect to the rails? I have seen at stations that indeed they clamp to the rail, but in lego that is not feasible. I also brace it on the bricks or horizontal plates of the track to actually stop a train (kids love to crash trains here). Or am I misunderstanding you? Curious because I am also working on stops as I am working on an end station. -
Help needed with sloped side walls for a LEGO funicular railway
LL1982 replied to Zimmi78's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I also see nothing. But maybe in general already the question do you build the drive train and housing as two seperate items that connect at two spots so that you can a drive train under an angle and the housing perfectly level? because the inside of the funiculair is a stepped design. So you just need a plated outside under an angle with wedge plates to bridge to the horizontal section of windows. If it makes sense what I am saying. -

I would go for option 3.5. You keeping it white or moving to stripped tiles? I am working on a mix of black frame with stripped beams for instance, but maybe also switching to yellow steel as a frame as that is typically used on lines here. Though the black or a wood colour frame looks a bit more classic. -
It's a shame I liked this one. The cargo stuff is something different and all hints to stuff used to play with. Voted for you on ideas.

I like the whole assembly or arrangement. Lovely train. Also like what you did on the doors for the mail van. I have used the old red doors myself for a mail carriage, but this works great with those droid arms. And i so love the old skool figure. The shirt is a bit more modern, but the older face type and hat with a old letter tile.

Oh wow so good. Screams tgv to me!
-
That new door looks good!
-
Kudos for that nose, as mentioned, that stripe in bricks going over three dimensions is a piece of work you should be proud of!

This one is high on my list to MOC. I have spent countless hours in them. I would put the cab a bit more to the front, what I remember of it it was really forward, I would also reduce the number of transparant parts there. The odd shape as @PossumPatrol mentions is because you can couple two head sections and actually walk through them. So the front opens up and reveals a passengerway. The Dutch name is "koploper" means translate like walkthrough head. See the image below.

Oh that looks nice overall, great assembly with station and train.
-
Oh this looks nice. Love that boxy shape. Great little engine for shunting or else. Fun one to put under power.
-
Wow I have never seen an locomotive like this. Totally odd design and I understand you found this attractive to build. Great work on this. Your undercarriages also look very interesting. I see some nice stuff in that with those couplers and letting those front and back ends just flow freely.

Like how you approached this, I am sadly not really up to date on Thomas and friends but I am liking all the versions you are developing all with the different coaches. I like how you did the pistons with all regular parts (i imagine, and not custom parts). I do wonder a little bit if the boiler should not be bigger? or wider? I am not an expert on trains so maybe I am wrong.
-
Nice, looks good. Like the little roof you made over the platform and good use of the lantarns.

As mentioned i would indeed use different colour axles, maybe already move towards a magnet at the front to allow it to also pull loads that way? Maybe think about decals, like that flying scotsman text. I know it will be stickers with BDP but it could elevate the model a bit. LCR on the tender would work for me. For the coach I would maybe opt for red and tan? You already got red in the locomotive. I would avoid green, but let the red come back in the base of the wagon and then a tan top. Maybe gives us tan windows again for cheap ;)
