Fifteen years ago, I bought instructions for @SavaTheAggie's '2-8-0 Consolidation' six-wide steam locomotive. I never really used them beyond learning techniques for useful building steam engines that could actually take curves - unlike my own late 2009 4-4-0 MOC that worked well only on straight track! You can see Sava's original 2-8-0 model here (in red / yellow with oil tender) at his new online home for his awesome instructions at Brick Train Depot. This older model got an additional axle on the new front bogie, making it a 4-8-0. The loco features a non-Sava tender, pistons, and cab. The only things that survived from Sava's instructions are some portions of the boiler. As for the coaches, they are inspired by 24-year old set 10015 (passenger wagon) from the 'My Own Train' series. I made a baggage car and three passenger cars for this train using as many new parts as possible - except for the doors, as I had no good alternatives for that part. The front of the steam engine, which was a 2-8-0 until a few weeks ago. The rear of the loco. Inside the cab. The baggage car which is half my own design and half inspired by 2001 set 10015. Two of the three mostly-identical coaches. The third coach carries the red marker lights for the rear of the train. Thoughts? -
DISCLAIMER: This steam locomotive featured below was heavily inspired by pictures of @SavaTheAggie's 4-4-0 from 2007, visible here. I added a tender inspired by another Sava loco (his 4-6-0, also from 2007) as seen here. I also made the front bogie actually connect to the front of the loco. (before, in the original design it was totally free-floating) I also made a few structural / style tweaks here and there, to make it "my own". My dad is getting this loco for his 65th birthday, as I wanted to make him something he would find relatable to his own collection of 1990's / early 2000's 9v era trains, of which he has most of what was released. This engine is meant to go with a few copies of 10015 - Passenger Wagon, and a single 10014 - Caboose will accompany this engine. The loco isn't motorized however, but it can be by removing the tender's wheels and adding in a 9v motor instead. Sadly, when I gave it to him I forgot to get pictures of the whole train together... this older picture will have to do until I can get a proper one taken. Thoughts?
