 | | LDD - MOC Steam Engine inspired by Streamlined Hudson —Ted Andes
|
| | | I just finished my first MOC using LDD 2.0 of a steam engine inspired by a 'Streamlined Hudson'. I took some artistic liberties due to the limited part/color selection in LDD (especially on the blue side covers around the cab), but I think it still (...)

| | | | (...) Not bad, not bad at all. Considering you were working from a limited palette, I agree you were able to capture the feel of a streamlined steam engine. I especially like your solution to the cow catcher. I really can't comment on how to improve (...) (18 years ago, 20-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Any good recomendations though, and I could track it down in one of the brick (...) (18 years ago, 20-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

| | | | After some work this weekend, my LDD 'Streamlined Hudson' has improved quite a bit. I scrapped the first one and created another MOC's with two stylings; a Dreyfuss and the the Empire State Express. The Empire State Express is the one that I am most (...)

To their credit, they also designed a very nice tender to go along with it, and (...) (17 years ago, 11-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
