Rebuild the 10017 into two 2-axles:

The difference is that one has a broom and the other a spade.

Very nice indeed! *y*

Nice!

You saved the bulky look of the original set and yet made it into a quite subtile carriage, good work. That is a fine locomotive as well, by the way!

So with one large waggon it's possible to build two identical smaller ones...

*y*

One thing I noticed is that you put in the wrong setnumber, but that can be solved right away.

EDIT: I pixelarted together my trains as well, fantastic!

Thanx for the comments. *sweet*

And stupid of me to use the wrong setnumber lol.

Ill ask a admin to fix it.

No its not possible. You can make one and a half. To make too you

need some extra parts. I orded then through ldd. :-$

If people want i can make instructions and a list of the extra parts.

I like this a lot. As soon as I saw it, I immediately started to wonder how I could do this with my hopper wagons. A list of extra parts would be very useful. As for the instructions, I'm sure I can work it out!

Oh, of course, silly me: one needs at least two more couplings... :-$

I like these aswell. But they would be perfect in red or dark red. Ah well cant wishh for everything :)

Here is the list of extra parts you need to make 2 smallhoppers:

2 x 8 x

10 x 4 x

2 x 2 x

1 x 2 x

2 x 2 x

4 x

Hope u all like it.

P.S. I also used 4 off 2 on each wagon to

make the construction more sturdy.

Great MOCs, those two little waggons! The engine looks excellent as well! *y*

Very nice hopper waggons, indeed! *wub*

I still don

Or something like this but then dark red. :)

Nice clone highland. I see what u meen with darkred.

Also nice teasershot of the switchtower. *y*

Cool conversion. *wub*

Done! *sweet*

Also a clone of your work?

Switchtower - a 1913 silent movie... :-| err, yes! *sing* *YAWN*

Thanks for letting me know! ;-)

Now I know: A switchtower is a place where these

elements are most frequently used. X-D

I made an MCA (Multi Color Alternate). *wacko*

Because some people would like to see the alternate model for the

10017 in other colors, I made some pictures you can color in yourself.

and and

Just print them and get your crayons out .................. *sweet*

Have fun with it :-P

Nice!

I went two ways from the wagons in that series of sets.

The first way was to make a 2-axle version of the tanker, without changing the

body size, using the same wheel turning technique underneath as these tube wagons:

Tube Wagons

The second way was to build some bogie hoppers whose doors work on a similar

basis to the 10017 ones, but making scale models of

Railtrack Hoppers

These hoppers can each carry and discharge 1400 1x1 round plates of ballast.

The workers don't use a spade because they have to stand well clear when so much

ballast is discharged! I plan to add the diesel engine, which powers the doors on the

real wagons, to one of the rake of five wagons that I built.
