Hi all! With the attic being shaped up to become my hobby room, I’m designing
plans to link all the existing sets & stuff I have created into my own Lego
world. The main challenge will be the trains that will ride through the whole
set-up. I’ve chosen the KT104 Loco & 5x passenger wagons n° 10015 for my main
train set-up, the Orient Express.
Has anybody some pointers, ideas, suggestion in how to turn this one into a
minifig Orient Express? The idea is to start within a European type city and
climb through several setting going through a mountain at the top.
Looking forward to your experience/feedback.

Hi Laurent,
Firstly I think that it really depends what style of layout you want to have. If
you just want something that looks vaguely like an Orient Express but made from
LEGO then you probably should just find pictures from movies and the likes and
try to convert it.
If you want to do something more realistic you’re going to need to start
designing and getting ready to buy stuff (most notable
Big Ben’s Bricks wheels). You’d want to find out
exactly which loco you want to model, which cars you want to make etc. If you
look at Ben Beneke’s
trains you can get an idea of how complicated a really good looking engine is.
But without a bit more information about what you want, it’s kind of hard to
give advice.
