    You can build a normal 6-wide roof + use plate with rail, that gives a nice 1/2 stud overhang on each side. Also I would reduce the number of blue roof supports....they are too dominating right now...

    Ok...older Swedish coaches are typically brown. More Reddish brown though... But you could build them in the dark brown nuance, and use 51239 window frames....

    I also like the new 51239 windows, especially in tan, beeing such usable color. To get proportions right I assembled them sideways. And added a thin light Grey stripe to make the look more train:ish. Like this:

    Great engineering and presentation ???

    Here's an example: You then attach a "normal" 4/6 stud train bogie that fits the tracks.

    Here's my take on using new window frames 3*3 #51239. They are assembled sideways to get right proportions, and I put a thin light gray stripe (from adhesive foil) onto the TrClear window. This way I can get nice looking tan "train" windows without breaking the bank or use clone brands.

    Normally there is room within the bogie itself to put a horisontal 20T gear which in turn drives the vertical 12T which are on the wheel axles. That way you get a slight boost in speed. A bit like this, although this shows a fixed motor, not a bogie. But I think you get my point...

    I too suspected the same person has created two accounts.....

    Loco is an improvement, but that passenger wagon looks "off proportions".... Too high and narrow, and short.... Advice you to study pictures and proportions of the real thing, and adjust your design accordingly.

    No pre-orders via Ha-bricks?

    Agree with others that your boilers are generally too large on diameter. Wes_turngrate has a good chart with a range of boiler designs. Also, I would skip Lego train doors, I think they are too large. Windows should face forward, rather than sideways. And as another general advice, try to add more piping and detailing to boilers, they tend to look "un-interesting" for the moment. By carefully studying other people's designs, you will find loads of good ideas and details.

    Impressive stuff Far far above my understanding/capabilities....but still really interesting to see ?

    Very well executed ???

    I'd certainly choose reddish brown.

    I think roller coaster rail is only useful as a construction element for buildings, masts, catenary..etc. Straight pieces looks quite like a framed steel structure beam. Steel truss... Might be a better description.

    Dark green looks so much better than std green. That's what I'd choose.

    Your engines rear coupler should be articulated ! So it follows the tender better. I typically make an up-side-down assembly with a technic liftarm and attach an old train magnet. If you browse my Flickr you can find some pictures.

    Yes, very nice builds. I like both versions. The high level render and decals make the models come to life, despite beeing "only digital".

    So, now it works. And I see you want to know a detail from the design of my Scania truck. So, white parts are 11477, 36840 and a 3024. These parts are assembled upside-down in a black 4262 which is attached to a black plate 2*6. That's it....

    The Link doesn't work for me....can you describe in another way?
  21. Selander
    Fantastic work, amazing result ?

    Swapping to a PF battery box should be easy, yes, but I reckon the challenge is to fit also an IR receiver within that confined space.

    I guess it is two swivel points each end. One between the small pilot wheel and bigger nose wheels. The bigger nose wheels are fixed to each nose section. Second swivel point located between nose section and cab section.

    Thanks for your praise. Sorry, No instructions. But you may find additional photos and some explanation if looking at my respective threads at www.swebrick.se

    During the past few months I have created a range of 6-wide trucks. Some are brand new, and some are overhauled old trucks that I built 10 years ago. Since 2010, a lot of new elements have been produced, opening up many new design possibilities. Enough said here they come: 1. Volvo dump truck: : 2. Scania cab and chassis 3. Well not a truck but…..a Volvo front end loader: 4. Here's what you get when combining 1-3 with a technic lego based hook lift on the Scania chassis: 5. Mercedes Concrete mixer: 6. Tow truck - platform wrecker: 7. Semi-trailer(-s): 8. Vintage Volvo timber truck: 9. Scania crewcab fire truck: 10. MAN box truck with tail lift: 11. Vintage Volvo box truck with trailer, a common sight in Sweden during 1960-1980's. 12. Volvo garbage truck.
