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!
I’ve always struggled with realistic architecture in LEGO. My trackside buildings have turned out alright, but residential, commercial, and urban town structures I can’t ever find a balance with on details. I think this cottage is a good first step to replace the mideval tavern set that was originally there. I hope to finish the stables and that small lorry next before moving back into trains.
“Dracomata”
Drago means dragon in Latin, and I had to combine it with automata as this seems like some Victorian clockwork. This is a clip and bar build, with almost no studful connections.
~80 hours over two weeks.

Complete over haul of my Pannier design in order to incorporate large drive wheels. Speaking objectively I think I need to just commit to ML wheels for these GWR tanks. And with this one I think it’d do proportions good to move the back axle back one stud and get some off center rods as well.
But I like the shape! I think the body is the closest I’ve gotten to that iconic pannier aesthetic, and after choosing to put traction bands on only the front left and back right flanged drivers, it now has a wonderful little waddle.
Going to keep at it. I want to do this one right.
Trying out my phone’s new camera. Still figuring out better ways to edit and filter so please bare with me lol
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!)

Literally just need 24 pieces for the axle boxes on the tender and it’s done. Wicked happy with this build. My largest GWR in the fleet.
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

Having fun running different stuff on the new layout. The track bed is ready for the elevated platform beneath it, but I still need to purchase wood. Having a great time doing detail work in the meantime!

Running my Great Western roster to help break in the new build. All engines can run under their own power through circuit cubes, minus the 43xx which uses a PU motor in the tender,
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!
A mush-mash of design elements I found on rebrickable that I liked. No real life basis, but wanted something to stand out amongst my other vehicles
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.
Idk. Genuinely just tinkering because I love this engine and hate that I can’t figure out the right way to compensate detail and adjust sections for scale. This is the closest I feel I’ve gotten and I need to call it quits for a while and move onto something else.
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.
