I’ve twiddled with the trolley design a bit further-- mostly color combos as
dictated by train window colors available at BrickLink. Interestingly
enough, purple 2-wide and 4-wide train windows seem most plentiful from the
Harry Potter Night Bus set! However, I settled on a blue window set and a
very strong LEGO-esque livery surrounding several of the LEGO Train Club
logos I found in the ILTCO gallery. Here is a deep-link to a
colorful version of the trolley with the ILTCO logo.
Green front windows and white side windows seemed a nice livery, as well.
Here is the colorful
livery with club logos gallery once moderated.

This is fantastic, James:-) Funny about the purple-- my initial impulse was to
actually build our car in that color (because I already have the windows left
over from a killer Knight bus MOC that I never finished...) and call it the
“Barney Trolley”! Thank God I resisted that urge:-)
Ross and my version is 99% complete-- we are just waiting on a few parts, maybe
I can post a few teasers pics. Basically, it’s all white; I was planning on
printing all of the LTC logos attending the NMRA show in Cincy on the sides. To
make room for them, I placed the train rail bar plates directly under the
windows. I also, ahem, took the liberty of extending the length of the
trolley by 1 window (4 studs). I wanted more distance between the trucks, and
it also gave me more logo space per side. Sorry for messing with the design so
blatantly:-/
I’ll try and snap some pics this afternoon if I get the time.
Now we might have to build this new version as well!
