For this MOC (my second attempt at this subject!) I have taken 2023 Harry Potter set 76423 - Hogwarts Express and Hogsmeade Station - and modified the steam engine portion of the set quite a bit. I stretched the model out a bit into a 4-6-2, specifically Gordon from the Thomas and Friends TV show / The Railway Series books. In fact, I changed so much of 76423, that there isn't much of the original engine left! The four passenger cars are in the style of 2009 set 10194 - Emerald Night, but are four studs shorter and in the colors of the 2026 CITY set 60511 - Vintage Train. Each car has a removable roof and inside seating. The car closest to the camera is a brake coach inspired by this Rebrickable MOC. Gordon in both books and TV show is based on the London and North Eastern Railway A1 steam locomotive class. The last real world survivor of the A1 / A3 type in the real world is Flying Scotsman (LNER loco Nr. 4472) which is Gordon's brother in both written and visual media. The rear of the loco. The tender is my own design, and uses a sliding center wheel to keep it from binding. These are three identical express coaches. All the doors of this train open, and the middle roof sections come off for access to the inside details. Here is the brake coach, where passenger's baggage is stored and the guard has a bit of space to rest and keep an eye on the train's progress. The three coaches have identical insides, and the brake coach is mostly the same, up to the halfway point where the luggage area and guard's seat are. Thoughts? -
The Flying Scotsman with it's train of four coaches. I did not design this 7-studs wide steam engine, but I instead heavily modified it to suit my tastes from some instructions by Eurobricks user @damangos. I did, however, rework my original 7 wide Emerald Night tender from 2014 instead of the 6 wide tender used by damangos in the original model. You can see his version in his thread. The rear of the loco. The three set 10194 style coaches are all identical. The brake coach, which was inspired by this Rebrickable MOC. Here's the inside of the passenger cars with the roof segments removed. There are three copies of the coach on the right. The brake coach is shown on the left. Thoughts? EDIT 6/16/26: Real world pictures added and first post totally restructured!

During the second World War, the US Government controlled the railway locomotive builders, one of which was Lima Locomotive Works. The Southern Pacific railroad submitted a order to this builder for 16 new 4-8-4 steam engines, (known to the railroad as 'Daylights') which was turned down due to them being passenger-only engines. Southern Pacific reworked the blueprints to have little streamlining, and not feature the Daylight's color scheme of orange, red and black. These new dual-mode engines were painted in silver and black, and were also smaller. Lima finally built the order in 1943, but with one condition: Six engines would be taken from the order and given to the power-starved Western Pacific Railroad. Because of their smaller size and the fact they were built during WWII gave these engine the names 'Baby Daylights' and 'War Babies'. Officially, the Southern Pacific engines were called GS-6 and numbered 4460 - 4469. (GS meaning General Service or Golden State, and 6 because they were the sixth batch of engines.) Only one of the GS-6 type survives: 4460, often referred to as the Forgotten Daylight when compared to it's famous surviving GS-4 cousin 4449. This last GS-6 pulled the final steam-hauled SP train in October 1958, before being donated to the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri, where it resides today. You can read more about the engine on it's Wikipedia page. This LEGO steam loco model is the third iteration of this Southern Pacific engine that I've made. It was originally built over a decade ago in eight wide, then was slimmed down a year later in 2016 to 6 wide, and now has been completely torn down and revised to 7 studs wide in 2026, retaining only a scant few ideas from the original MOC. These includes the letters / numbers, streamlined nosecone, and a few other small things - the rest is totally new. As a side note: this engine's original version was the second loco I made from the museum's collection of artifacts, only beaten by the GM Aerotrain MOC from 2014 - nowadays I've got over 30 vehicles made from this location, and I'm starting to run out of things to build that I feel are worthy of inclusion or under-represented in LEGO. The rear of the engine. The ladder to the tender deck should be on the left and right sides, not the rear as has been constructed. I didn't realize this until it was too late in the design process. (Oh well!) Baggage / coach. (NOTE: This car and the rest of the train that follows below are not based on any specific Daylight passenger cars. I just built what looked good with the loco. Also, these 6-stud wide passenger cars are based off ones from when the engine was in revenue service - they are not from the Museum of Transportation!) Two (identical) passenger cars. The dome car. And finally, the observation car. EDIT: Just for comparison purposes, here is the real-world steam loco, as seen back in 2015. Thoughts?

Presenting another of my Danish State Railways’ (DSB) trains redesigned to 8-wide and digitally rendered (with a bonus livery)... DSB IC3 The Danish State Railways’ (DSB) highly successful and innovative InterCity 3 aka IC3 passenger train was co-developed by Siemens -Duewag in Germany and ABB Scandia in Denmark. The train is operated by DSB in Denmark and Sweden, by Renfe Operadora in Spain and by Israel Railways in Israel. Amtrak in the USA and Via Rail in Canada have tested the train in the past. A trainset consists of three units; two diesel motor units (Litra MFA and Litra MFB) and one intermediary unit (Litra FF). Up to five trainsets can be coupled together. 96 trainset were built for DSB from 1989 to 1991. All are still in service today. My model: Original white and red livery used from 1989 to 2002. Fictionally named “Jørgen Vig” with the crest of Billund added. Scale: 1:48 Length: 157 studs (MFA: 55 – FF: 47 – MFB 55) or approx. 122 cm Width: 8 studs Bricks: 2.948 (MFA: 1.040 – FF: 861 – MFB 1.047) Locomotion: 2 x 9v or 2 x PF/PUP train motors Power: 9v, 2 x LEGO AAA battery boxes or 2 x BuWizz battery boxes Control: 9v, PUP, SBrick, PFx Brick or BuWizz Designed: 2022 Conversion of my 7-wide model from 2017 to 8-wide with more accurate dimensions. Very high setting render from Stud.io with custom decals added in the PartDesigner tool. Its able to navigate R40 but looks rather silly doing so: Interior with seats for 83 minifigs: Decorative side design for the bogies - a combination of parts and the molded decorative side for train motors: The coupling part can be change to a Liftarm Thin 1x7 (BL#32065) when combining several trainsets. Technique used for the sliding doors: Removing the 1 x 4 Tile as shown enables the door to slide open as a play feature. The fixed outer doors are a necessary part of the construction otherwise the very long body breaks too easily due to the roof being removable. However, they are designed to be rebuilt open when needed and the trainset stationary on display: The trainset is (fictionally) named Jørgen Vig with the crest of Billund added: Free building instructions: Option 1: https://open-l-gauge.eu/dsb-ic3/ Option 2: https://snakebyte.dk/lego/instructions/trains/diesel_engines/dsb_ic3_(8_wide)/index.php Bonus livery: Livery when Amtrak tested the IC3 Flexliner DMU (Diesel Multiple Unit ) in 1997:

Dear all, finally I can present you my new train: The idea started with the Arctice seaplane nose train. I thought now that we also have a dark blue one I can use that as one of the "hondekop" noses of the NS trains. But fiddling about a bit I found that the shape was actually a bit too short and that the longer aircraft nose would be much better suited. So I continued with that one. I must admit that I am not 100% satisfied with it. But I am happy with the pantographs and the couplers: The recessed doors are less well done. I should look into getting it less than half a brick. And further detailing is also limited. Partially by design I must say, but still. In the end I think the shape of the nose is correct lengthwise, only because it is 6 wide it looks a bit strange. An 8 wide version would be better scale wise. Also the new "other" 6 wide airplane nose has a better window configuration but the rounded roof doesn't fit in. Anyway, I still hope you like and if not please feel free to tell me. (more pictures on my brickshelf)

The engines were Inspired by Facebook user Leonard Blevins' diesel engine, from which I built my own version. I think it looks like a Electro-Motive Division F40PH, which was (in real life) mainly built for Amtrak. Also, the letters BRS go on the side of the cab below the windows on the 3 exposed studs, while the number of the engine (8773 for example,) go on the 4 studs below the windows. Also, I know there is no such thing as a B unit for a F40PH. But since this is pretty much fictional already, I added one. I colored the engine the way it is to compliment set 60052: Cargo Train. As the engine in the set is freight, this one is passenger based. I even kept the windows the same light blue color, and yellow warning stripes on the cab end to compliment each other. Speaking of the cab, the roof is removable to place the engineer inside at the controls. This also increases play-ability. Here we see the F40PH's front. I added safety stripes because they looked nice, and I had some spares I thought would look nice there. The whole build was inspired by this piece from Leonard Blevins diesel: http://alpha.brickli...age?P=30022#T=C Here is the view inside the cab with the roof removed. (sorry for the blurry picture!) The B unit does not have a removable roof, or interior, for that matter. the rear of the engine features a walkway to the train. Here is the fancy sloped rear observation car of the express passenger train. The passenger cars are not yet ordered. LDD file for the engine by itself: http://www.mocpages.com/user_images/80135/1441300586m.lxf Well, what do you think? EDIT: added train cars, new engine and new ldd file. If a MOD could change the title to "F40PH diesels with express passenger train" it would be much appreciated. EDIT #2: change train color to blue and added new ldd file. EDIT #3: Added real life pictures!

Hi all I've created the discontinued Passenger Train 60051 in a dark green and orange livery. I had to put colour coordinated stickers on the train front to give it a smoother look. Riz (Sorry - problems with previous attempt to start this topic) The interior of the carriage: It needed colour coordinated stickers on the train front to give it a smoother look: The carriage:

Here is my other Via Rail train, The Corridor. To see more pictures, please see Via Rail Canada - The Corridor. I'd love to hear any feedback, comments, questions, or criticisms. It's a big set, so let's tackle it one car at a time. :) If you like it, please support on LEGO Ideas if you believe it would make a great official set. -
It has been a long time goal of mine to build this beautiful train with LEGO. After working on it for a long time, I have finally finished it. To see 70+ pictures and a detailed tour, please see Via Rail Canada - The Canadian I'd love to hear any feedback, comments, questions, or criticisms. It's a big set, so let's tackle it one car at a time. :) If you like it, please support on LEGO Ideas if you believe it would make a great official set.

I built this station almost a year ago for LUGs exhibition in March 2014, but I never got around to take pictures of it. It was exhibited at three national exhibitions (KockeFest 13, KockeFest 12, Kranj - SVM), and in between it was kept safe in a box. It survived my recent move at the end of the year, so before unpacking, sorting bricks and starting new projects, I finally took some photos. Back view of the building and the platforms. Top view reveals the size. Can anyone guess? It's a layout of 3x4 baseplates (32x32). The entrance to the building is partly covered with awning. The passenger train is a shorter version of this one. I took away the middle car, as it was too long. Also, I don't have enough tracks to extend the (four) platforms to the appropriate length for the train. I also don't have enough minifigs, so the station is not as busy as it could be. The platforms are numbered, so missing the platform is not a problem. There's also a timetable at the front of the platforms. You can catch the 11.23 train to Billund. More pictures, including some of those from the 2014 exhibitions, can be found in my Flickr stream.

Finally, I have made one of my favourite American(and iconic) trains (Electric multiple units) one of the last streamliners. Attempted to make a high-speed train sadly in struggling and deteriorating infrastructure At the end of their life as EMU are still in use but only as passenger coaches Budd Metroliner Example of usage one of the engines that were used with them was GG1 Modules Original

A passenger train has been on our family's wishlist for some time now. To date, cargo trains only. So I wanted to design something that was fun to play with and inspired by trains when I was a kid myself... I was also trying to figure out how cheap I could go while still having something that is good looking. On that front, not so much of a success: currently I have for EUR 150 in shopping baskets in Bricklink. That's excluding 5 times shipping costs... I was hoping I could do this for under EUR 100. I guess I could remove 1 carriage but then I'm not sure I can still call it a train.
