Hi all,
after an active phase of virtual building under ML-CAD there has now a new train
been built from real bricks and uploaded at Brickshelf.
That train consists out of the recently posted BR24 engine and 4 brandnew
passenger cars. All this rolling stock is built in 7 wide again. The new waggons
do all have a roof made from shovel parts as suggested by James Mathis in this
posting (and it took a few week to collect these):

The four new cars are the following:
A) First a luggage car which has 2 motors. Since the BR24 engine had no drive,
this waggon is meant to drive the train.

The second waggon is a 4 wheel waggon as they have been typical for small
commuter trains or in rural areas. This waggon has a lenghth of 28 studs and
therefor it needs a steering mechanism.

Third and forth waggons are the same as the second one, but in green colour and
with grey shovels (which are harder to find than the black ones).

Except from the shovels there are some other quite hard to find pieces used now:
green bricks 1x2 and 1x1 with technic holes (each 4 per waggon), grey classic
windows 2x2 in grey and the train windows 2x2x1 as known from sets 137 and
182... The red waggon uses transparent panels from the Santa Fe coaches instead:
there is a self made sticker attached. That is made homebrewed by printing the
black lines with a laser printer on transparent copy sheets. These are glued
with mild "Fixogum" glue on the panels and could be removed whithout any damage
at any time lateron.
Enjoy the pictures!
Kind Regards,
Ben
P.s.: while building a whole night long, I have added another waggon for the
Prussian compartment train as well. With 3 waggons this looks like a small
suburb train at last:

| Awesome cars! The shovel roof really looks nice, and the cars themselves are incredible. The ends have gotta be my favorite part, with the drop down deck and the entire thing being SNOT. Very spiffy. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains)
