Well it had been a slow couple of weeks for new train MoCs, but I see that
trend has already changed in the last few days. And now here I am to add my
2c to the pile. I’m slowly clearing through my backlog of creations and
getting them up to brickshelf.
First up is my horse
car (aka cattle car). While the black car is old, the two yellow cars are
brand new. While I liked the design from the start, such cars were vanishing
from the road by the 1940’s (the era when most of my models start). I’ve been
working towards a 1910 era freight train and so now I could justify building
a few more.
Next up, a couple of additional pieces of equipment for my
Empire Builder. A NP
NCL coach and a BN passenger F (complete with hockey stick). Now I can make
the BN passenger trains (all two years of them) and combine my GN equipment
with the Zephyr.
My first Lego bricks were the giant Samsonite “beginners set” bricks and I
still have a fondness for them. So I had to put a few of the
Samsonite bricks on
flatcars. Funny thing was, at NMRA 07 several AFOLs were asking “are those
Lego?” As I write this, I realize that I have another flatcar I need to take
a photo of, but more on that when I have it in hand.
And did you happen to see those
GP20’s? (okay, just
two new photos of an old MOC, but a very fine MOC that got lost in the
shuffle of about 10 other MOCs I released at the same time)

Hi Benn,
Superb work as usual. The use of those fences for the horse cars is extremely
clever.
Now for a request... would it be possible for you to upload a nice clear photo
of any of these MOCs with a clean background? I’d love to blog some of your
stuff on Brother’s Brick but we really need
clean photos to give the post the punch it deserves.
Thanks,
Tim

I borrowed it from a picture of Dan Siskind's work. It will be a couple of weeks (...) (17 years ago, 14-Mar-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
