None of these passenger train designs are fully worked out in final form, but I
just wanted to get some initial designs concepts out.
London Underground Tube Train:
Inspired by seeing a picture from LEGOLAND Windsor of Miniland London
Underground, I thought the angled glass panel pieces from both the Star Wars
Twin Pod Car and the Metroliner Club Car might work OK for
The Tube. There are
some instructions under the v3 folder. They’re not organized too well, but I
think they get the design concept across adequately. These Tube cars are
perhaps a little fragile at the cab and diaphram ends of each car. This concept
isn’t fully worked out, but I tried for a “modular” pod-like design approach for
building up the cab, diaphram, doors, and windows sections: build the main
foundation, build the “pods”, and then add the pods to the foundation to create
a cab-car or a in-car. Haven’t tried a real-build, so I don’t know if this
approach is viable or not....
Omega Concept Train:
Inspired by the windscreen canopy/cockpit from Jango Fett’s Slave 1 ship, I
worked up a couple of preliminary designs using this windscreen as the focus for
the concept Omega
passenger train. Pretty bland otherwise. The huge glass looks a bit
overwhelming (and unrealistic)...it’s just an idea...
Theta Concept Train:
Not too fond of this one, the
concept Theta train.
Maybe turn it into a light rail type train with some rework to the passenger
windows and doors sections... Back to Paradisa(TM) with this curved window
panel used as a front windscreen; which hides a light brick behind it.
Well, just some preliminary design studies...take them further and make them
your own...or trash ‘em if you like.
Thanks for checking them out.
later,
James Mathis
