Tried some trimline to reflect a preservation livery I saw on 1450 when looking for references

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!

How to make a box not look like just a box…

Thought the grey would be the more interesting livery. Fun quick build :)

Just a simple build to use the last of my old tires and pass time while I wait on orders.

One of my reasons for building British Locos has always been liveries. Just so many fantastic options for color and display.

I’ve tackled building in multiple liveries in the past, but now with a few years of building experience under belt, I really want to try some old builds again (like the pannier, the N7) and see how big this Trainbow can get :) I’ve got ideas for dark brown, lime, purple, and light blue. But any other ideas y’all can think of please let me know! (I need an idea for yellow or tan!)

My first GWR tender engine. A fun medium train build that I’m very jazzed about!

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.

Doing some proportion tweaking for a pannier design.

A fun little saddle tank build! Unpowered but only in order to try and really get the shape right.

Probably still a bit small, but a fun little build as I wait for parts

Didn’t really have a game plan when I started making these. The black one is loosely based on an old Buick, and the green is a hodge podge of reference images. But! Regardless of quirks, they can fill out parking spots well!

A fun little build with some nice curb appeal. Big fan :)

Feels a bit long, but my reference photos were all over the place. Had fun with the build! Good ‘parts to hand’ project for the time being. Unpowered, unconcerned lol

The biggest fixes are the cohesion of the buffer beam no longer being cobbled together by brackets, and the pistons now comfortably tucked and functional.

I’ve agonized over this stupid engine. And I wouldn’t be as intent on accuracy if the original MOC hadn’t been my oldest build.

 

I’ve attempted as much detail as I can without compromising structure or coming across too garish. This compromise meant abandoning loose coal to hide the techniques and shifting the ’tanks’ all over the body to accommodate wiring and an attempt at representing internal running gear.

 

The sanding gear, bunker steps, cab detail, and brakes were all labors of love to incorporate and I finally feel rest in my soul that this 1400 can no longer be called an inaccurate Jinty or green Thomas. Pieces have ALL arrived finally from blubrix and bricklink so I can now start on my ‘big’ new project. Happy to shelve this tank.

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

This LEGO MOC is mostly done. Just need to add a few more changes before taking pics, but I did want to share my first time running it. Wicked excited about how it looks :)

What. A. Chore. I couldn’t begin to tell you why proportioning this engine has been such a bane, but between the boiler, the tanks, the cab, the bunker, the wheels…. No combination of sizes or shapes I tried worked. This result here… is the least offensive of my attempts and the last of my patience. At quick glance I think it at least communicates (auto tank). But I want to focus on a new build and need to move on. So here’s my first overhaul of the new year rail ready.

Finally to a place where I’m happy with these. Particularly grateful that the cabs look at least some what intentional and smooth lol.

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

I appreciate all the feedback! Lengthening the wheelbase felt more in line with what I was shooting for. The longer tanks allowed a more gradual taper in the boiler like I wanted as well.
