niteangel Posted December 4, 2016 Posted December 4, 2016 Hi everyone! A little while since I completed and posted my creations. Winter is here, and Christmas is coming, and I think it is time to do something for my winter village. Here is my first try on making a train MOC, and it is an interesting building journey. I have looked at different beautiful locomotive engines online and created my version with a little seasonal deco. I don't want this to be a funny, cartoon Christmas tree, but a formal and decent express train going between the city and the winter village. The engine is the part that took me most time to create. I had the basic form in my head, but the mechanism and details actually required quite some understanding of the actual old locomotives. Luckily, the green Emerald Train gave me much hint and so I ended up with this: I added some interesting details to the front bumper part, using the claw pieces. I also tried a "tilted bottle" arrangement for the chimney part. The engine probably runs on diesel as there is no coal section. The wagon car follows the engine, and that is how you get your presents at the winter village! Freshly delivered from the city center! The passenger car is a simple one with all you need: doors and windows, and a streamlined profile. It looks like it has warm air supply already for your long journey through the winter: The last car is a mail car. Of course, you need to deliver a lot of parcels and Christmas cards to the villagers from the city. So, have we arrived yet? Yes, this is it! Hope you guys like it! :D Have a merry Christmas! ;) Quote

The color scheme is a little tricky for the engine part, as I don't want to do the typical red or green scheme. I want to make it more metallic and "robust", while having a little Christmas deco. I am happy to see the current result. On 5/12/2016 at 8:01 PM, Zork said: Amazing job. I like the locomotive most. Like to receive a christmas gift delivered by your train Definitely! I will tell the post office to do something, haha! Quote
dr_spock Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Nice colour scheme. Are you saying it is a fake steam locomotive powered by a diesel engine and steam domes are actually diesel exhausts? Quote

That's the intent but do you think it will work in reality? :P Thanks for all the compliments! Quote
