DHR Toy Train (01)
No this is not Thomas the Tank Engine, this is The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, Toy Train.
About this creation
DHR, Toy Train.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the "Toy Train", is a 2ft (610mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling in the Indian state of West Bengal, India. Built between 1879 and 1881, the railway is about 78 kilometres (48 mi) long. Its elevation level varies from about 100 metres (328 ft) at New Jalpaiguri to about 2,200 metres (7,218 ft) at Darjeeling. Four modern diesel locomotives handle most of the scheduled services: however the daily Kurseong-Darjeeling return service and the daily tourist trains from Darjeeling to Ghum (India's highest railway station) are handled by the vintage British-built B Class steam locomotive, DHR 778. The railway, along with the Nilgiri Mountain Railway and the Kalka-Shimla Railway, is listed as a Mountain Railways of India World Heritage Site. The headquarters of the railway is in the town of Kurseong. The Operation of Darjeeling Himalayan Railways between Siliguri and Kurseong has been temporarily suspended following a Landslide at Tindharia since 2010.

I have ever since I was a boy built a wide variety of models, wooden kits, plastic models (Airfix, Revell), but also paper craft models, has given me a lot of fun. Before I came on MOCpages, I had plans to build one of Canon Creative Park models, the Toy Train, but somehow I never got started constructing. The 40-sheet with instructions and parts got stowed away in a drawer, until one day I got the idea to build the model from LEGO. My starting point was the train wheel size, and here I chose the large steam driverwhells. Then it was just to scale the model from the pattern sheets. In this way came the odd track gauge of 7 studs.
The model consists of almost 1400 parts, that I have collected over a long period, so as not to overburden the budget. Some parts I had to paint. It would probably look quite funny, but not quite appropriate, if the bucket, forming the top of the smokestack was pink. The 90degrees tubes are also painted, originally they were chromed.
