I'm not entirely happy with the front, and due to the use of a tile at the top, I haven't yet finished the roof. Unfortunately the vertical 1x6 tiles do not quite fit between the '1x1 plate with light' and the 1x1 round headlamp, so I left the latter off. Green and red were about the only colours I had to hand to try, and IMHO they don't look too bad... The rest of the gallert shows my first effort, now completed. There's pictures of it with 2x2 windows and also with 1x1 clear bricks. I am not sure which I prefer. The 1x1 clear brick version looks better from the side, wheras the other probably has the edge from the front. Also, using the 2x2 windows means that the corrugated 1x2 bricks can't be used. I now have a 4 car unit of the blue train, and it looks pretty good. I don't think I have enough parts to make a second car of the green/red one :-( Now, off to work a bit more on them. Thanks James for the inspiration! Huw

(...) Here it is at my BrickShelf gallery: (URL) be aware that I have not put the parts in a logical instruction step sequence. Sorry. I hope you can use the "hide pieces" tool in MLCad (the light bulbs) to see interior construction details. (...) (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.trains)
