...it tastes very British! Normally people tend to reproduce famous trains (Rheingold, Orient-Express and stuff like that). I prefer these mixture of differt style cars to recreate a typical consist of the last days of steam in Britain and continental Europe. I have to add the gangways and work a bit on the underframe. Originally these cars were intended 7 studs wide, but later on I dropped the idea :-( http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=549621

some more pictures http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=553924 work in progress

5 cars trains loosely based on CIWL pullman train. Full consist include: fisrt class car (38 studs long, 6 studs wide) 7 windows second class car (38 studs long, 6 studs wide) 8 windows pullman car (38 studs long, 6 studs wide) restaurant car (38 studs long, 6 studs wide) NOT SHOWN -light blue and beige livery-porthole windows composite 1st/2nd compartiment car (37 studs long, 6 studs wide) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6240820

Lovely!

"Emerald Night" of course! Without smoke deflector (looks nicer ). A perfect engine for such consist dating from 1930s to lates 1950s/early 60s! My idea of LEGO train is: something a bit more detailed than ordinary "CITY" train, but not too heavy in scale with "CITY" environment. Some cars seen on internet are fantastic indeed but too long and wide to blend with ordinary stuff. What do you think guys? I can't upload pictures anymore. I do like the underframe of your GWR railcar. I'd like something similiar, but it's a bit too detailed and complex for a relatively simply model for my taste. Lego models should sound solid in hand http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6240714

I'm currently working on a 5 cars passenger train named "Devon-Scot-Express". Cars intended for this consist are loosely based on pre-1948 british design. Cars are 36/38 studs long, 6 studs wide. Red livery, similar to BR "suburban" red. Here's a type S536 composite 1st/3rd. The whole consist will include: *composite 1st/3rd (shown) *open 3rd *vestibule 3rd/buffett *compartiment first *brake first compartiment

Pix ,pix, pix! Is the Ausini website still "down"?

I wonder why none of the Asusini trains is mentioned in the exhaustive and recently updated "clonebrands" http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/miscellaneous/clonebrands_v1.3.pdf

Lovely, in some case better than the original (wheel hubs, light). Can you give us some details of the wheel hubs?

Actually I do favour for high profile too... Thanks Duq for the links

Actually it takea a while before they're accessible...

I'd like an opinion about this train I'm going to build. It's made up by a first+second+restaurant+combined first+second+mail and bagagge http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=539868 Do cars look better in "high profile roof" (grey) or "low profile roof" (white). These cars are loosely inspired by SNCF OCEM. Suggestion welcome. Lenght 32 studs. Sorry I can't upload pictures here (Does anyone know why?)

Obviuosly you can't compare LEGO and Enlighten, especially in term of "friction". Anyway, a parte the unique enlighten brick, my MOC is fully reproducible with genuine LEGO bricks

With the sole Enlighten 638 you won't go too far ...even thou it's a cheap source of useful pieces Are you able to see the improved version...I can't upload the pictures here http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=6024663

A bit different version http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6024663 New features includes: 32 studs long body 3 light added reworked boogies (2 kinds) Handbrake frills here and there

A slightly modified Enloghten 630

A bit of american "steeple cab" a bit of Italian and Swiss three phase electric locomotive, with a taste of Japanese Meitetsu Deki 100. I'm very satisfied of the trolleys. Still under development, at the moment with cheap chinese clones.

Personally I'd like a SP cab-forward or an american interurban streetcar like Pacific Electric, CA&E and similar (motor and trailer) . Or something british to run with Emerald Night!

Actually I'm ! I bought the Maersk for 80€ that is OK and I was lucky to find a new sealed "Emerald" for 160€.I do love these set.

Hello, I'm a long-time fan. I used to buy "LEGOLAND" serie when I was a kid that means in early '80s (to me the "Golden Age" of LEGO). I recently regained interest in LEGO and I bought myself the wonderful "Emerald Night" train set and the "Maersk" container train. They're currently still in the box since I'm looking for a place to display them!
