jamesed_1971 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) This is my LDD Lego Version of the LBSCR 48 foot Bogie Coach which was first introduced on the LBSCR in 1903 / 1904, built in June 1903 at Brighton in the uk, by the mid 1930's the were being converted from 48ft to 58ft coaches, however some were sold to people to use as homes, storage and etc or being scrapped to surplus requirement, so not many examples have survived.However in 1989 one lucky surviving example was found at West Chiltington in 1989 by the Bluebell Railway, where it had stood since 1931, used as a domestic dwelling and latterly as an aviary! It survived in relatively good condition having been placed on a good base, and with a roof covering it completely, the LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach was restored and returned to service in 1999 and had a overhaul in 2010 - 2012 where the doors were replaced, the steam heating upgraded and the wheels re-tyred, The roof can be removed to remove or add Lego Minifigures as passengers.

As suggested by zephyr1934, i have added I added 8 x Part 2412b Tile, Modified 1 x 2 Grille with Bottom Groove, Metallic Silver to represented the vents View of the LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach with vents added Closer view of the LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach with vents added I have redesigned the Lego LBSCR 48Ft Bogie Coach so it can be easily converted to two LBSCR 4 Wheel type Coaches The redesigned LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie Coach, the coach body is designed to split in halve between the 4 and 5 2x3 train window. The Lego LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie Coach with the roof removed, middle compartment wall and seating and the underframe removed, and mid wall between 4 and 5 2x3 train window removed. The coach bogies removed and the coach body split into two sections. The end walls rebuilt where the coach body was split into two. The roof put back on each LBSCR 4 Wheel Coach Bodies (the roof is designed to split in the middle). The 4 Wheel Coach Wheels Sets (converted from the bogies and some extra parts). The LBSCR 4 Wheel Coaches with the attached wheel sets. The new smaller under frames for the LBSCR 4 wheel Coaches (the first is upside down and both are made from the bigger under frame from the LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie Coach and extra parts). The LBSCR 4 Wheel Coaches with under frames attached. All the extra parts used in converting the LBSCR 48 Ft Bogie into 2 x LBSCR 4 Wheel Coaches. The Lego LBSCR 4 wheel coaches will go around the standard Lego curve train track.

jamesed_1971 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 the parts to build one coach have been ordered last week but still waiting for them to arrive Quote
zephyr1934 Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Looking good. Perhaps you could put one of the newer jumper plates with the groove to give a hint of the "vent" look above the doors? Quote
jamesed_1971 Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 I've built the coach, Just waiting for some more parts to arrive so I can finish the model to finish the model Quote
jamesed_1971 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Once the train 2x3 glass and the green headlight arrives I will take some photos of the coach in both versions. Quote
ummester Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Nice how you've curved the coaches up from the bottom. Am interested to see the photos of the brick build. I find when taking screenshots in LDD it looks better to have the outlines turned on - I also find it easier to work with the outlines on, now I have gotten used to them. Of course a render looks better than anything - but if you don't have the time or PC power, outlines on is generally better than outlines off in LDD. Quote
