Hello there,
so, after a lot of time of being passive, I finally decided to break the ice
:)
First, a few local MOCs (train & town):
BM-71 (Flytoget, the Oslo airport train)
image
This was my first train MOC, made a year ago. I was struggling a lot
with the nose, but managed somehow to get it right-ish... I’m still not
quite satisfied with it, though. Droid arms & lightsabres were used
for the sliding doors (I would love to give credit to the person I stole
the idea from, but I just couldn’t find the Brickshelf-folder again).
The train is clearly “a bit” long, but it still manages to do the curves
nicely (although it needs a bit of space on both sides of the tracks).
Being that long, it gives a nice sliding effect while changing track
on a switch ;) Heavy it is also, but rolls quite smoothly.
The original idea was anyway to just have it standing there and looking
nice, but the temptation was too strong.
And yes, I’m aware of the fact that it is too high and too narrow :)
I might consider doing an 8-wide version (or a lower one, if I change
the nose), but we’ll see.
Here is a short “LEGO-friendly” version (made only digitally, though):

T-bane (Oslo underground, 1. series)

This was is my second MOC. A very simplified version of an already
simple model, which is soon to be obsoleted and replaced by a new fancy
type. The roof can be taken off and I tried to make the interior as
accurately as I could in the minifig scale (no pictures of the interior
yet :/).
I ended up with the 8-wide version, since it is the closest to the
original proportions... the 6-wide might fit better into LEGO-layouts,
but the 8-wide is much nicer:

I made a small 4-wide version (1:100) as part of a model that’s
permanently exhibited in the Department of informatics in Oslo (but
that’s another topic :) ). I had to cheat a little bit and do bad
things (I’ll go and punish myself!), but it was worth:

Wooden houses
-------------
These are typical Norwegian wooden houses, usually found in dark red,
dark yellow, white and dark blue. Sometimes they are built in a row,
so I decided to make such a row myself. There is a lot of room for
details, but I haven’t had time since the exhibition at that time was
only a few days away:

Hi Matija,
I’ve admired all these models since you first posted them. I particularly like
the way you vary each of them to different scales and sizes (I have a love for
length-compressed six-wides). The nose design on the Flytoget is absolute
genius.
I’ve also long admired your wooden houses. Wonderful simple looks hiding complex
design :)
In response to the third point of your shunter thread: would it be adding insult to injury if I said that I only got
the idea to do a Norwegian loco after seeing your excellent models? ;)

It is also extremely funny when kids come and recognise the trains and start screaming... or when train enthusiasts (...) (18 years ago, 21-Mar-07, to lugnet.trains)
