Hey guys! Sorry if it seems like I'm botting all the forums for Lego Ideas votes. I'm just using Lego Ideas to host my image sources, so it usually coincides with one of my Lego Ideas projects. Right now, I just completed work on the Polar Express- a 1/78 scale model of a Pere Marquette 1225 2-8-4 Berkshire steam locomotive. It has a coal shunter, 4 passenger cars, and a caboose. Right now the locomotive is painted mainly black with stone grey accents, and the cars are painted black, navy blue, and classic red. If I built it in real life right now, it'd have a astonishing length of about 5 feet/1.6 meters, and only contain 1,697 pieces. This is mainly due to the fact that it's built using 6X34 train plates and 1X16 beams for the base below the car interior. Every single car is built with a modular roof that can be detached for playability inside the train, and the same goes for the actual locomotive. It's capable of holding 42 passengers, if you don't include the chefs and conductor who'll be standing and traveling between the cars. Here are some pictures of the train: The front view of the whole train: The view of the back of the caboose and observation area: View of one of the cars: View of the Entire Train: Whats funny is it's literally so large I couldn't photograph it any larger without displaying the whole screen and UI around it. Cross Section of a Train Car With Adjustable seats: Rear View of a Train Car: Mid View of the Train from Behind: Anyways, I hope I could receive some feedback on this. It's my first actual try at a Lego Train, so there are obviously some areas where I can improve. Also, when the project is approved within the week, it's called The Polar Express on Lego Ideas, and it'll be posted by my account there, LegoGuyLOL4Ever. If anyone is interested, I'm also attaching a copy of the Lego Digital Designer file to this. If you try to build it IRL, it might be expensive due to the amount of Navy Blue. polar express 2.0 copy.lxf
