As I mentioned here, I have revisited my original trolley, and have made VAST improves to it (actually, it ended up being a complete rebuild).

Cut to the chase pics here

Revisiting MOCs is something I rarely, if ever, do. Heck, I often loose interest in a MOC in mid-build! I’ve at least a dozen half-finished MOCs laying around:-/

But building our 12 wide trolley using newer sloped elements that weren’t yet created when I built the first Trolley inspired me to have at the 8 wide version again. What a difference! See the 2 side by side:



The newer one is much more faithful to the original Trolley, but to be fair, I was actually modeling from a wooden toy version of Trolley rather than from Trolley herself the first time around. Heck, I was shocked to discover when I started looking for images of the original Trolley that her sides were black rather than green!

I think the 8 wide version turned out great with even some good schleiming going on; here it is compared side by side to the 12 wide version:



Ross has already expressed an interest in Ldrawing it, so hopefully one day we’ll post that.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood-- enjoy:-)
