Posted January 14, 201114 yr Here's the Emerald Night in all its glory, only with multiple unique cars attached to it: Two first-class club cars: Baggage car and caboose: First-class regular car: Club cars opened: Second-class car - notice the small tables in front of each seat: Third-class car - just seats in here: Baggage car close-up: Baggage car top off (two safes and a huge luggage rack in here): Baggage car wide open; the ramp folds up and slides into the bottom of the car: Back view: -CCOOK
January 14, 201114 yr Oh my, I wonder if I'll ever be able to turn my Emerald Night into something as great as this! Great work! It would be really nice to have seen an image of the train standing in a straight line! Edited January 14, 201114 yr by HenrikLego
January 14, 201114 yr Great stuff, CCOOK. I like how you've done the 2nd and 3rd class carriages, cramming in progressively more passengers as they do. Baggage car is cool too. The double deck observation cars and nice red caboose lend a North American feel to what I've always seen as a British train. Perhaps it's a Canadian Pacific service. :classic:
January 14, 201114 yr Very good! I was thinkin' for the second and third class to something similar! Good job ! Still, the caboose seems a little "on its own"...
January 14, 201114 yr Nice job although I think it would look better with some kind of observation/end car (the kind with the wraparound windows or the open balcony at the back) instead of the caboose. Were cabooses normally found on passenger trains?
January 14, 201114 yr Nice job although I think it would look better with some kind of observation/end car, the kind with the wraparound windows.... I agree. *laugh* Honestly, I didn't see your post until just now. :classic:
January 14, 201114 yr Very good! I was thinkin' for the second and third class to something similar! Good job ! Still, the caboose seems a little "on its own"... I think it's the kind of bricks the caboose is made of. Nice job although I think it would look better with some kind of observation/end car (the kind with the wraparound windows or the open balcony at the back) instead of the caboose. Were cabooses normally found on passenger trains? I'm for a observation car too.
January 14, 201114 yr I think it's the kind of bricks the caboose is made of. I'm for a observation car too. Me 3. I would think an Observation car would be more fitting than a caboose. It's too out of place. I LOVE the baggage car and the fold-out ramp, though. Great idea.
January 14, 201114 yr Wow, I'm impressed! I love how each carriage is unique according to it's class. I wish I could build like that!
January 14, 201114 yr I think the caboose should have shared the engine's green color scheme. I agree. :-)
January 14, 201114 yr I agree. :-) That being said, the red caboose would be great attached to Hogwarts Express.
January 15, 201114 yr Author All right - here's the train split up and set on straight track; there's not really enough room to take a decent photo with the whole train in a straight line: Here it is from the back - I hesitate to add power functions since they really mess up the look of the engine and its tender: Here it is again: Stay tooned in the coming weeks - I've already blue-printed the designs for an Allegheny double-piston locomotive and a General Electric ES44AC. . . . . . . -CCOOK
