pullman wip

This is a Pullman?

 

I don't know what kind of carriage this is or what it's based on. I've seen various models of Pullmans, but my untrained eye can't tell the difference between one or the other. But it was easy to make and is light and robust.

 

A month ago, I glanced at Michael Gales's article about building LEGO trains: bricknerd.com/home/building-style-with-trains-sometimes-l...

 

I realised I was losing my love for LEGO trains because the models I had built were wildly impractical. They had thousands of parts that would easily snap off when handled or during long running sessions, making the whole process of building and running trains sour.

 

So, I decided to buy a new set of carriages to run behind my engines that would replace my hideously delicate Mk1s. Which will be remodelled soon.

 

I've tried to make them as realistic as possible whilst not making them too frail, so I have sacrificed a lot of details I previously included in the Stud.io file. Hopefully, some custom decals will improve the realism of the model.
