Tanks lowered, splashers added, running board extended, cab detailed, trimline added. I’m fine with calling this done :)
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
Finally to a place where I’m happy with these. Particularly grateful that the cabs look at least some what intentional and smooth lol.
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.
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!
I’ve had a bunch of pumpkins I had no idea what to do with, and then I saw @leewanlego and @loysnuva had built pumpkin rovers and I thought that was brilliant! So thank you for your inspirational builds!
Please check them out they very inspirational builders!

Trying out my phone’s new camera. Still figuring out better ways to edit and filter so please bare with me lol
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.

Alright, this time is Police 🚓
This vehicle is basically inspired from the recent Proton SUV with the Polis Malaysia scheme. Honestly, I haven’t finish the interior yet, but it can fit up to 3 Minifigures. Doors and bonet can open. It scaled following with the latest LEGO Speed Champions. Now is just to order the parts, 😏.
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.
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.

Finished shaping and detailing my fruit vans and accenting the neat vans and horse box. My WWII period stock is now diverse enough to run some really fun trains. Grateful for that :)
At least the parts encompassing the track are done-ish. Now it’s all detail work and touch ups. Need something for that back area but idk what….
‘Clean’ photos for the Brick Train Awards. I don’t think there was much surprise that I’d want to enter it lol.
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
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.

A cobbled mix of a few different references I found. Not a lot of experience building vehicles, but this was a fun one.
Trying to do less ‘secular’ builds when it comes to a MOC, and pieces out a structure or body as a whole to make it more sturdy.
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.
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!
