Posted April 13, 20195 yr Hello everyone, today I want to present two new UIC wagons. They are very simple but also very effective and they will surely be liked by Italian AFOLs. My favorite, since a was a child, is the Trans Euro Night and its blue livery... ...but also the red liver cars are famous... The secret to achieving the wagons economically was to recreate the windows of the 12 volts system with stickers (these windows in dark red and dark blue wouldn't even exist) Now I can finally run the Caiman E656 with the whole convoy! All aboard!
April 13, 20195 yr Very nice work, as usual. I am pleased to see your return to Italian rolling stock
April 13, 20195 yr Very nice wagons You can actually forego the stickers for the dark red and dark blue train windows and built an almost matching version out of bricks. A fellow Danish LUG member, Lars Mogensen, worked out this brilliant technique for his amazing wagons Some few spacing limitations remain but he is working hard at refining the technique...
April 13, 20195 yr Beautiful wagons! The stickers around the windows look great, as do the barely-inset doors!

April 14, 20195 yr Very cute, as always! As you are the MOI (Master of Illumination ) for Lego train models, do they have tail and interior lights? Completely off-topic question: What is that magnificent station in the first image? Milano Centrale? On 4/13/2019 at 9:49 AM, LEGO Train 12 Volts said:
April 15, 20195 yr Good work on this passenger consist. The stickers do make it look right for the windows.

Hi Sven, I was tempted to put tail lights but it seemed like I was wronging other wagons ...wagon like these... ...so I let it run (like someone could say: Germany first! ) About your question, I confirm: in the first picture the Caimano is leaving Milano Centrale 10 hours ago, Feuer Zug said: The stickers do make it look right for the windows. Thanks Feuer Zug I was lucky to find the exact colors
April 20, 20195 yr Oh LA LA ... I think the stickers were definitely the way to go... How did you achieve the color match so well?

Thank you very much Roadmonkeytj, about he colours I've used the C/M/Y/K value found here with the software Adobe Illustrator. At last but not least my print shop had the right colors in the plotter to print the stickers file.
April 21, 20195 yr Nice cars! Like you said, simple but effective ;-) I remember my dad had one of those TEN cars in his N-scale layout. Very recognisable!
May 24, 20195 yr AAAAAAH it's always a pleasure to see your creations! The whole train with E656 is amazing!!!
