G'day All,
Something different from me today: Something other than steam traction:)
Canberra Lego Users Group (CLUG) like many others has a monthly themed build chellenge. This year I have set myself the additional challenge to make all of my MOCs train related. The August build challenge is Horses, in honour of the traditional Horses Birthday.
My build is a horse tram based loosely on the trams that ran on the first public railway in South Australia from Goolwa to Port Elliot.

The horse looked too small on 6 wide track so I tried it on narrow gauge and it looked to have much better proportions. It runs on four small train wheels attached to 2x2 plate axle pieces.
The gold 2x2 round plates are from the bell in the Pirates of the Caribbean waterwheel set.
I hope you like it,
Rob
