I'm thinking of sending this to Lego ideas

You’re too kind mate. Cheers. It does work, lights, sounds and high definition motor control. It’s difficult to showcase, especially with COVID 19 around.

G’day guys. I’ve updated my Flickr account to show more photos of my model. Hopefully I’ll get to make instructions of it, enjoy.....

I hope my LEGO train set becomes an official one one day

G'day everyone, I've posted a link here because I need support for my Lego Transperth train I've submitted to Lego ideas. If I get over 10,000 supporters, it will make the Lego group review my model and could lead to a potential official Lego set that you can possibly buy. I am spreading the word in effort to gain support. If you wish to support me, sign up for Lego ideas account (link below), find my model and simply click 'support' I assure you there will be no catch. So I hope and pray you'll read this message and support me. If you have any questions, please feel free to send your questions, I'll do my best to answer them all efficiently as I can. Thank you :) If milestones have been reached, I’ll release more photos (up close, interior, landscaping etc.). https://ideas.lego.com/projects/ca650e48-ea46-47cf-a2d9-0a379f0c3744

Zephyr1934 I’ve used a series of 2*1 with 2*2 bracket with a 2*4 (2*2) curve piece to form the lower curve. The brackets used also to form the perimeter of a custom train base so the bogies wont rotate at ridiculous angles. Top of the bracket is a 2 stud wide plate then a series of 2*1 hinge brick to form the remainder of the diaphragm shape when bent. Then the remainder bricks on top as you can see is self explanatory. Due to that chosen design, I cannot use the 2*1 grille tile i assume you are mentioning, the real train does have groove patterns on its shell thou. But I did use those grille tiles for the A/C units on the roof. Cheers.

UPDATE: my picturtes should be visible now. Thanks :)

This is my MOC of a Transperth B series Electrical Multiple Units using Bricklink Studio Lego designer. This train MOC is of the same name based of the real version that is currently in operation in Perth, Western Australia. I'm still creating it's instructions. I will eventually buy the bricks from online (Bricklink), Pfx bricks for realism and showcase it. I hope you will like it.

..Huh, and I thought I was the only one in the land of Oz who did there own Australian city public transport models Steinkopf. Who knew. Do you have any more pics of that Sydney train of yours? oh and the err Traction Substation looks nice to. Here's my Perth public transport models BTW http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=BorgShadow317537

I have 2 articulated MOC buses in my brickshelf gallery under 'Transperth buses' based from Perth WA, where I'm from. check 'em out:)

From polygon 9v track to 1-stud trains, I'm curious of how they move? Air hockey style? I'll might have a crack at my own trains in 1 stud style. Brilliant all round Mathis. Cheers. :) Please check out my brickshelf file. Just search 'borgshadow'.

FOUR?! How about THOR!! .."Well it hurts (Sore lol)"

Cool design with crossing mate. I actually have my own crossing design from LDD below.. also the 'over head traction system' to based on Aussie designs but that's later. cheers
