Pullman MOCs for Emerald Night

[Heppeng]

I will have a look for the LDD files, I think they may be on another PC. I think it is possible to create a parts list from that. However each one of my cars is different depending on purpose - there is a standard 'parlour' car as well as the Kitchen, Bar and brake/luggage. In the full size train the parlour cars would be paired with a kitchen car, an at seat full Restaurant service was provided for all seats, and it was reckoned that the catering staff in one kitchen would also be able to serve the adjacent parlour car.

The windows as I said are Enlighten - Although others have made pretty reasonable brick built alternatives which not only look more 'Pullman' than the EN ones, they are a lot more easy on the wallet!

One little improvement that could be made would to be to use a tile under the 1x2 clear flat plate that is used in the clerestory roof, that way you would not have a white stud showing through quite so clearly. The top roof tile should still hold it securely.

Thanks very much for the reply.

On the K&ESR we use a Mk1 kitchen car and serve two Pullman cars and a Maunsell NBO coach. I have no idea how the chef does it!

Many thanks

Nice work, gorgeous coaches for not too many bricks.

Worth noting for anyone building this with some Enlighten bricks - make sure you replace the wheels and inner magnets with offiical Lego ones. Easy to not realise the additional friction caused by the Enlighten wheels, but after four coaches there will be a huge difference!

Thanks!

Not always necessary to replace the wheels - I eased the fit of the wheels on the axles and then used a light plastic friendly oil. This reduced the friction to at least Lego levels if not slightly better. Not had any issues with the magnets.
