Originally, me and my dad made me a passenger train way back in the early 2000's as my first train MOC. At my request, he got rid the bright colors of the original 1980's train sets it was inspired by with more subdued tones. The black and red are what became the standard color scheme for my fledgling railway for a good many years. In 2024 I added the newer windows and a different 4-6-2 'Pacific' steam loco... well, now I added bogies to all the coaches (they were originally just two wheeled cars) so they roll better and put a brand new 4-6-0 'Ten Wheeler' steam loco at the head end. I decided to downgrade the loco from a fast main-line express loco of the 4-6-2 variety to a more laid-back 4-6-0 because the train isn't an express - it's a local on a branch line. You can see the original Pacific-type loco here. The whole train together. This oil-burning 4-6-0 steam engine is in a throwback livery that's based on my first custom train from way back in 2002-ish. The MOC is also slightly based on my first steam loco MOC I designed and built (circa 2012) that was constructed for the same train this engine pulls. Granted, that original MOC was technically a 4-4-0 and a total failure (no real world pictures exist of it), but I learned a lot from it! The rear of the loco. This baggage car is inspired by set 7722 (steam cargo train set) and the red / yellow guard's van. These three coaches were inspired by the red and blue coaches of set 7715. (Push along passenger train) The observation car is my own design. ...and here is what it all looked like originally. (picture circa 2017) The diesel at bottom left is long scrapped, but the original 0-4-0 steamer survives to this day. This tiny loco was inspired by set 7722 (steam cargo train set) while the steam engine's tender was inspired by 3742 (My Own Train series) from 2001. Thoughts? Post updated 6/26/26 with new steam engine and updated passenger cars. The whole post has been changed around too. -
Hello This is my first post here. I got 7715 from my childhood and just recently by a luck I got complete 810 motorizatioon set which can be used with 7715, according to instruction sheet. However I have no idea how to put battery box from 810. It's almost 7 studs wide (6 studs plus half a stud on every side - battery box thicker cover. I think I must build additinal train car from this battery box but grey is not so good looking. Have you ever tried using this approach?
