NCS passenger train in 1:45
A project I've been working on for the last couple of weeks, a typical NCS passenger train from the early 1900's.
The NCS (Nederlandsche Centraal-Spoorweg-Maatschappij / Dutch Central Railway-Company) ran trains like these on their shorter commuter lines around Utrecht between about 1890 and 1924. These lines where so-called "Lokaalspoorwegen" (local railways), meaning they did not have to adhere to the same safety standards as mainline railways in the Netherlands, but that the maximum speed was limited to 40kph.
The train consists of a NCS 61-65 series tender engine, a 3 axle 3rd class passenger car from the series C101-106, a 2nd class passenger car from the series B111-127, and a guards/luggage wagon from the series D101-105.
The train is built in 1:45 scale, and only uses a few custom parts (spoke wheels + connecting rods, and circuit cubes for motorisation).
