jtlan Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 In the past I haven't posted models I've made in LDD before I build them in brick, but I realized there's no good reason not to. Therefore, here's a model of a two-axle German passenger car: This model is "free-built" (compare "freehand") without a fixed diagram as a reference, but is based on this coach: This vaguely resembles a Donnerbüchse, but clearly isn't (it's much shorter). If anyone here knows more about the prototype, I'd be glad to hear it. The model has a removable roof and features a simple interior: Again, this wasn't intended to be an accurate model of the prototype, just a simple build that captures the spirit of it. Quote
Duq Posted May 29, 2016 Posted May 29, 2016 Nicely done! If your German is ok (or you get Google to translate for you) you can find some information here: http://www.achertaeler-eisenbahnverein.de/index.php/verein/fahrzeuge Quote
jtlan Posted July 4, 2016 Author Posted July 4, 2016 Apologies for the bump, but I finally got this together in the brick: I switched from dark green to regular green for convenience (a single dark green 1x3 brick costs over $5!). A fellow LUG member remarked that the model resembles the typical coaches that come with a Märklin starter set... Quote
M_slug357 Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Are you going to make a fleet of these, or just the one? Might be fun to just mimic that entire Märklin set...? Also, which set are you referring to? Quote
dr_spock Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Very nice. Looks perfect to run in a garden railway. Is that the PA7 70 license plate from the CMF crash test dummy? Quote

Also, which set are you referring to? Originally I just designed this in LDD because I was inspired while doing research for another MOC. I'm not sure which Märklin set the other LUG member was referring to. Very nice. Looks perfect to run in a garden railway. Is that the PA7 70 license plate from the CMF crash test dummy? It is! I bought a whole bunch of them on Bricklink because I thought it would come in handy. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Fantastic passenger car ...I know a Marklin set with two of these wagons pulled by a BR80 Quote
