Moc Lego 16mm Scale Lady Anne Narrow Gauge Locomotive
jamesed_1971 posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
Over the last couple of weeks I have been designing a Lego 16mm Scale Narrow Gauge Locomotive based on Roundhouse Engineering Live Steam Locomotive 'Lady Anne', the Lego version is 5 Inches Wide, 6 inches high and 13 inches long, the narrow gauge locomotive is powered by Lego Power Functions XL Motor, Battery Box and Receiver which the Locomotive Body fits over The locomotive body can be separated from the locomotive chassis to allow access to the Lego Power Function Battery Box to turn the power on or change the batteries when needed or to adjust or fix the gearing if something goes wrong. To set the Big Ben Bricks XL train wheels exactly at 32mm Gauge I had to put 3 Nylon Washers between the Lego Technic bricks and the Big Ben Bricks XL train wheels, I used 18 nylon washers, the washers were brought from Modelfixings. The information below shows the dimensions of the nylon washers I used. Thread Size MF Ref Inside Diameter (mm) Outside Diameter (mm) Thickness (mm) M5 MF-NW05 5.3 11 1.0 The Lego 16mm scale Lady Anne narrow gauge locomotive model is not finished, the coal bunkers on the tanks need to be finished, the lids to the water tanks need to be added, the cylinders and the connecting rod to the coupling rod need to be added, the rear coal bunker needs to be added, plus other details like pipes, outlining and naming plate, working front and rear lamps. I may be adding Brandbright Centre Buffer Coupling which will be permantly fixed to the locomotive by drill a hole in the spot where the current buffer, this is so I can try to pull some 16mm coaching stock with my Lego 16mm scale Lady Anne narrow gauge locomotiv. A back view of the Lego 16mm scale Lady Anne narrow gauge locomotive body, the holes in the back are for Lego Technic Pin with Stop Bush (Part 32054) which bolts the locomotive body to the locomotive chassis. A front view of the Lego 16mm scale Lady Anne narrow gauge locomotive body, the Dish 8 x 8 Inverted (Radar) has to be removed allowing me access to Technic Pin with Stop Bush (Part 32054) which bolts the locomotive body to the locomotive chassis.

Hi, over the last few weeks I have been designing a new Lego Steam Locomotive in LDD, the Steam Locomotive is based on the East Kent Railway Steam Locomotive No 5 and is 34 studs long, 8 studs wide and 10 bricks high, and with the SR Goods Van the Locomotive and Goods van is 53 studs long when coupled up. The East Kent Light Railway no 5 was based on the East Kent Railway which was a light railway engineered and ran by Colonel H F Stephens which ran from Sheperdwells (NR Dover, Kent) to Eythorne which was a junction between the main line and the branch line to Tilmanstone Colliery, the main line ran from Eythorne to Eastry which was another junction between the main line and a branch line which ran north towards Sandwich and Richborough Port, the Main line continued towards Ash and then Wingham where the line came to a end, the was other planned branches including the line from Wingham reaching Canterbury and another branch to deal from Eythorne, but these plans failed. The East Kent Railway Steam Locomotive No 5 was a LSWR 415 Class 4-4-2T Steam Locomotive designed by William Adams and introduced to service on the LSWR (London and South Western Railway) in 1882 and was purchased from the Ministry of Munitions Disposal and Liquidation Commission in March 1923. The Steam Locomotive stayed on the East Kent Railway until March 1946 when the Southern Railway purchased her for £120 for the Lyme Regis branch where two of her sisters had kept services going for over 20 years and is now at Sheffield Park on the Bluebell Railway awaiting restoration. Due to the LSWR Class 415 4-4-2T having no tender or my model not long enough or deeper and wider boiler to hide the Lego Power Functions Battery Box and IR Receiver, I decided to build a SR 10 Ton Goods Van to house Lego Power Functions Battery Box and IR Receiver.

Due to some of the parts not being in the right colour I have decided to buy all the green parts needed in white and the wheels in clear from Big Ben Bricks. and dye some in green vinyl dye from vinyldye.co.uk the green shade I will be using is the TRG Green Vinyl Dye Plastic Paint Aerosol 150ml which looks like a close match to the green colour I need. As suggested by Srbandrews, I have changed the tops of the tanks to black and continued the black line right to the back end of the cab. Update All the parts are now order from Bricklink and Big Ben Bricks, 16 orders in total, paid for 6 so far, waiting for the rest of the invoices, still have to order the Vinyl Dye Sprays from Vinyldye.co.uk Update I have made some changes to the SR 10 Ton Goods Van, the changes include vents which I did not include and now a power switch on the roof enabling me to turn the battery box on or off without taking the roof apart. Showing the new bents (the slopes in the end) and the power switch ) the 1x1 tile jutting out above the roof. A view of the insides of the SR 10 Ton Goods Van showing the Lego Power Functions Battery Box Power Switch made from Lego components (2 x 1x1 tiles, 1x2 tile, 1x1 tile and 1 x Modified Plate 2 x 2 with Pin on Bottom), A metal spring will put between the Technic Plate and the Modified Plate 2 x 2 with Pin on Bottom (metal spring will be from a broken 6 L Technic Shock Absorber) A Closer view of the Power Switch made from 2 x 1x1 tiles, 1x2 tile, 1x1 tile and 1 x Modified Plate 2 x 2 with Pin on Bottom. Update As of now I have all the parts to put the model together, I still have to dye the white pieces to the green shade I am using, then I can put it together.

Hi, on Friday 7th Feburary, my Big Ben Brick wheels package arrived, I started to build my new motorized chassis for my new version of Lego LNER 4472 Flying Scotsman Steam Locomotive using the XL flanged drivers and the XL blind drivers and the small flanged train wheels, it took me a couple of hours of finding the parts and building the model The reason the are two Lego Power Function Cables is the one on the left is the extension for the rear lights which are to be installed in the rebuilt LNER Flying Scotsman tender, while the other cable is from the IR Sensor. Saturday Morning I did the first running test, on the old Lego blue 4.5 Volt Train Track, the train ran OK, then I did the second test, adding some curves to the Lego track, when the train came to the curved part of the lego track, it either stalled or derailed. I found where the problem was, there wasn't enough clearance between the steam cylinders ( 2 x Lego Technic Cross Blocks 3M ) and the leading bogie, I rebuilt the front section and put the steam cylinders higher, with the result the leading bogie has plenty of clearance. I did the the second test, and the train can move around the curved section of track. the tender base is still being built. UPDATE I have made a virtual model of what the model will look like when finished in LDD 4, exported as a LDraw file, edited in MLCad, added the XL Wheels and flanged train wheels, opened in LView to take some snapshots of the model.

Hi, early this year I built my Lego LSWR Adams Radial EKR No 5 Steam Locomotive, the Steam Locomotive is based on the East Kent Railway Steam Locomotive No 5 and is 34 studs long, 8 studs wide and 10 bricks high, and with the SR Goods Van the Locomotive and Goods van is 53 studs long when coupled up.

The last couple of photos are of my Lego LSWR Adams Radial EKR No 5 Steam Locomotive next to my 16mm Scale Lego Lady Anne Steam Locomotive The Url below is video footage of me testing the Lego LSWR Adam Radial EKR No 5 Steam Locomotive to make sure the locomotive would run, for the test the Lego Steam Locomotive was built in white.
