Smoking carriage!!!! I think those were gone by the time I caught trains (certainly the replacement diesels never had them that I saw). I wonder if these are the same locos I would have had. Adds a new layer of nostalgia if so.

I meant to post on this earlier but was way to overwhelmed with nostalgia. Would you beleive I actually rode on one of these occasionally in High School if they had issues with the electric trains? It was the only time you could actually ride in the legendary “smoking carriage” tehe ;)

Thanks! I do almost all of my train and vehicle design in LDraw but sometimes shift to real bricks for small details or fiddly bits which push the constraints of the brick. My space ships tend to be a bit more of a mix of both and my mecha are almost entirely built in bricks and then documented.

Fantastic SNOT design, much to like about this build.
But I’m jealous of most of your designs (BR Class 08 Shunter
)
I often wondered, is your design work in virtual Lego or only used to document the design?
