Tackling my first big original MOC in fine scale since the Atlantic.
Using a mixture of new techniques from Block Junction MOCs and album stalking, I’m trying hard to get my proportions down without too much compensation for r56 curves. So far it’s promising!
Wanted to show how I settled on my buffer beam design, and a few other fiddlely accents I’ve been messing with while I wait for tender parts
Been tinkering back and forth and basically chose to bite the bullet and line it while I was peak excited. Tender construction starts this weekend
+++ Building Instructions available +++

May I ask you however, as a sort of recompensation, to vote for my LEGO Ideas Project Princess June's Castle and share my project idea in social media. You can vote for my project here: bit.ly/junescastle. I would really appreciate. :-) (y)
Happy Building, stay safe and keep healthy. :-)
Diesel mechanical railbus bought from Blunderbus Maschinenwerks to compete with quicker and more convenient modes of transport (such as walking).
This L&YR class 21 'pug' has been modified as a 'tender tank', to handle longer journeys on my LEGO layout whilst still being able to navigate tight curves. I'll outline its backstory in full another time.
Probably the best photo showing the variety of locos we had on my layout at the Spa Valley Railway Model Railway Weekend last weekend
Many many more photos to come
Lewis Bird’s tram design mimicked to the best of my abilities. I love the techniques used for the outside definition. And now my coach finally has a proper engine to couple up to!
Legendary "Runaway Train" from the movie by Andrei Konchalovsky. Locomotives GP40 + F7 + GP7 + GP7 and my favorite villains: Manny (Jon Voight) and Buck (Eric Roberts). Stickers by OKBrickWorks, thank you Andy.
Finished. Long photo shoot today for other reasons, but these are a few more recently finished models that were only seen before as Works In Progress.
The Deltic is fully DCC, with direction lights, interior cab lights and full start up / running sounds. It will have its initial display outing at STEAM this year

The 4-4-0 steam locomotive was a popular design that emerged in the early 1800s and remained in use until the early 1900s. The locomotive was named for its wheel arrangement, with four leading wheels, four driving wheels, and no trailing wheels. The 4-4-0 was known for its versatility and was used for both passenger and freight transportation. The locomotive was powered by steam, which was generated by a fire in a boiler located in the locomotive's body. The steam was then used to drive pistons that powered the wheels, propelling the locomotive forward. Despite being considered old-fashioned by the early 1900s, the 4-4-0 steam locomotive played a significant role in the development of transportation and was instrumental in the growth of the American West.
In the 1800s, wooden train bridges were a common sight across the countryside, especially in areas with rugged terrain. These bridges were often constructed using timber and supported by large wooden trusses and piers. They played a vital role in the development of transportation, allowing trains to cross rivers, valleys, and other natural obstacles that would have otherwise been impossible to traverse. However, wooden train bridges were not without their challenges. They were susceptible to damage from floods, fires, and rot, which could lead to catastrophic collapses. Despite these risks, wooden train bridges remained in use well into the 20th century, when they were gradually replaced by more durable materials like steel and concrete. Today, many historic wooden train bridges can still be found in various parts of the world, serving as a testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the past.
As tradition I took photos of my model with the real life counterpart.

Been planning for a narrow gauge diorama stretching from the Bukit Timah Railway Station running across the old Truss Bridge and into a hidden siding to store my trains. As of now, I'm happy with the design for the station.. just got to source for parts slowly over time. A whopping 8300 pieces this. Really excited to start on this layout.
Here's what the actual station looks like and other information regarding the station:

This tourist express train is made for luxury travel. The front part is the cockpit and first-class sightseeing seats. Engine Room and the train door is in the middle. At the rear there is a sleeper cabin with bunker beds. Having some exceptionally sized jet turbines, the idea of this build is brought from diselpunk locomotives in fantasy-style video games. Most of the parts are come from 70828 and 70830, in partiular the ginormous windscreen plus some window pieces from the Party Bus.
A little passenger car modeled after No. 1002 of the Hespertalbahn museum railway, ex Pörtingssiepen colliery No. 2 (www.hespertalbahn.de/fahrzeuge/247-fahrzeugportrait-1002).
I have had this train in the back of my mind since I was a little kid (Thomas the Tank Engine, anyone?), and www.flickr.com/photos/hajdekr/ relit the memory and inspired me to make it in 4-wide.
I went for the '70s-'80s livery rather than the 1950s and '60s ones for that more "industrial" look, though I much prefer the earlier ones.
Hey all! Do you remember the Frisco 4-8-2 Mountain I built a while back? Well, it’s back. I’ve rebuilt it from the wheelbase up. I was never satisfied with my original model, due to my personal family history with it and getting to help with the restoration of it over the summer. I’ve spent the past 4 months completely rebuilding the locomotive, and now I’m able to share photos with it. Decals and white wall wheels were done by the amazing OKBrickWorks
“Steam locomotive 1501 was once part of a proud stable of thirty such engines on the Frisco Railway system. Built in 1923, the handsome modern machine was the pride of the fleet until dieselization of the system in the late 1940s. The 1501 was part of an initial order for fifteen locomotives placed with the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Eddystone, Pennsylvania in 1923. The order was the Frisco's response to delays in passenger service due to the tortuous Ozark territory west of St. Louis. The oil-buring locomotives were a type nicknamed "Mountain", which has a wheel arrangement of four lead or pilot wheels, eight driving wheels, and two trailing wheels under the cab (4-8-2).”
Because of reasons I decided to build a DB class 101 electric locomotive. The interregio coaches are based on the UIC-X coach from Urban Ervvin, reworked by Nicolas Tbx.
A quick up-to-date photo of the mystery engine with the glowing fire.
This is my first model of a British locomotive that isn't modeled off of a preserved example, which I don't see done very often.
The decision to make this particular model was rather spontaneous...I hadn't made a proper locomotive model in some time, and I got tired of choosing and taking too long, and I just decided to try this one out. The goal was a regular suburban NE tank engine that made it into BR days. A pretty simple guideline. This does mean that when the model is complete, it will be decked out in a handsome BR-lined black livery.
Seeing as I'm so close to finishing the model, I thought I might as well finish it and share it. Need to work on cab detailing then the rear bunker.
More to come soon.
Every day, a mail train arrives at my LEGO main line station of Brixtol; within it, a Traveling Post Office, sorting mail on the go!
The small brake gangwayed coach is uncoupled here and attached to the next branch line train, with mail for towns along the way.
Ever since I saw the Hornby advert in my magazine from April I’ve wanted to recreate this pack. For me the colors are so pleasing and I’m very content.
‘Clean’ photos for the Brick Train Awards. I don’t think there was much surprise that I’d want to enter it lol.
This locomotive was one of three classes of "super Hudson" streamlined steam locomotives, with the other two consisting of the Milwaukee road's F-7, and the ATSF blue goose #3460 class. This engine was considered to be one of, if not the most powerful Hudson class of the several built. with a tractive effort of 55,022 lb/ft. I recreated this Lego model with accuracy and detail in mind, making sure to fit as many key elements in the design as possible; with good proportions as well. This is a digital render, therefore it doesn't have operational valve gear, however, once fully built, it will be fully operational with valve gear
Thanks for checking!
I dismantled almost all of my old Lego 7wide trains, And start to rebuild some in 1:45 scale, adding much more detail and shape than before.
this is an 8 wide model, I don't know how many parts are in use, more than 1000 I guess, there are no instructions and there will never be.
this was built almost old school style the good old fashion Trial and error.
it has lights and it's motorized by Buwizz.
Shout out to Raised, Erwin and Nicolas, who indirectly teach me a lot of new tricks and technics!
The TIE-GP or TIE-Geeps is a TIE-variant aiming to provide a cheap solution to pull cargo cars over long distance.
More seriously, as during Lego exhibition, I need to replace my 12V train locomotive as it is heating a lot, I built this alternate one as replacement. It is a TIE cockpit smashed onto a 12V engine that has a broken pin.
British Rail Class A4 "Union of South Africa" 60009 with synchronised sounds.
Controlled by an ESP32 which connects to a Lego PU remote. The ESP32 controls motor and sound.
It is powered by a 3S Lipo and 2 L motors (1 PF and 1PU) drive the XXL Disc wheels with a 1:1.8 drive ratio.
The exhaust sound is relative to wheel position - it is measured by the ESP32 using the rotary encoder in the PU L Motor. There is a speaker mounted in the smoke box.
Sounds include, exhaust, injectors, whistle, cylinder cocks, coal shoveling and safety valve. The ESP32 simulates water, steam and coal usage to determine when to play sounds.
Decals are O gauge from Fox Transfers.
One of my favourite coaches from the Malayan Railway rolling stock. There's something about this cream and chocolate combination together with the roundness of the coach that is just so great.
With all these models completed, I thought it would be a good time to have a 'photoshoot'. Taken after the Singapore Brickfest 2021.

56 studs long, 8 wide, just trying to figure out a better design for coaches. Definitely need to brick build the bogies, but for the most part I’m happy with this try!
Fun fact: I built the train model almost a year ago. I wanted to build a moc with it and post it at the end of last summer but lack of time or motivation and constant change of ideas made me finish it 10 months later.
The idea of building an old train or a locomotive came while playing Red Dead Redemption II, so yeah, the game was the main inspiration, even tho there isn’t much Western-like stuff on the moc.
Hope you like it :)
