Posted September 17, 201113 yr I love the red 7938 train so much I had to try to create a white one. It's almost finished, just need to order a few little pieces..
September 18, 201113 yr yes please more pictures!!! Love the look of the white version and can't believe I hadn't thought of doing that myself!! Great Job!!
September 18, 201113 yr I really like it. Sometimes a set totally changes when the color is different. I changed the yellow 7939 in red and you made a wonderful choice to make a white 7938! Super! Greetz, LegoSjaak
September 18, 201113 yr If you gave a single coloured line (blue?) running front to back it would be finished Edited September 18, 201113 yr by Sokratesz
September 18, 201113 yr The white looks great. The only improvement I can think of would be to recolor the undercarriage. In the original it was white, while the rest of the train is white the original white should be gray IMHO.
September 18, 201113 yr Author Thanks for the replies Some more (bigger) picures beneath.. The train is for 98% finished, need to add some gray 'roof tiles with lattice' on the roof and a few 1x4 black arch bricks. Hope they become available at LEGO PAB soon.. Regards, Marco.

September 18, 201113 yr I really like this model of yours, MAWEK. You have done a great job recoloring the 7938, and I wish LEGO would release something like this. I do think a colored stripe down the side would look nice, though.
September 18, 201113 yr I love the red 7938 train so much I had to try to create a white one. It's almost finished, just need to order a few little pieces.. That does work well. I'd been thinking about it but now you've shown it's worth doing...... You mentioned using PAB for your parts. Do you know about Bricklink? Edited September 18, 201113 yr by Snapshot
September 19, 201113 yr Your images are too huge. I had removed the deeplinks and convert it to links only. Meanwhile, please refer to this tutorial and resize them accordingly. Thanks.

September 21, 201113 yr Great job recoloring this train 'MAWEK LEGO'. It looks awesome in white. The blue does sound like a good suggestion, throw a little contrast in there. Either way, still better looking then the original
September 21, 201113 yr Author The blue line idea sounds great, i'm going to work on that. Thank you all for the great ideas and comments..
September 21, 201113 yr The blue line idea sounds great, i'm going to work on that. Thank you all for the great ideas and comments.. Every train needs an odd-coloured stripe, it makes it go 25% faster with 72% more awesome.
September 21, 201113 yr Every train needs an odd-coloured stripe, it makes it go 25% faster with 72% more awesome. #img# LOL! Another example from DK this time: the DSB's IC4 - although very funky equally unsuccessful unfortunately...
September 28, 201113 yr I agree with the blue line. it will break up the plain white. and thats the best part with legos, try it if it dosent work. change it. or change it back.... :)
September 28, 201113 yr Wow, I really like this! I don't have any trains (if I did get one, 7938 would be it), but I like it in white much better. I see a possible mod in my future... after I get the train, of course!
September 28, 201113 yr I love the red 7938 train so much I had to try to create a white one. It's almost finished, just need to order a few little pieces.. you should add another line without white. red train has a white line at bottom. white train should have red-blue i don't know but there is a differnt colour line missing in your project. but it looks good i must admit that.bravo
October 3, 201113 yr I had some time to experiment with the color line.. The car with the double red striping looks the best, in my opinion. The blue line should be darker blue.....so the color is more powerfull.. I'm curious to the endresult!! Greetz, LegoSjaak
October 3, 201113 yr I would like to see a car with a dark blue or normal blue line. Red is also good, but I've seen many trains with just that red line.
October 4, 201113 yr The stripes and white color make it look like the Japanese Shinkansen, but I agree that the set looks much better in white than red.
