These are some (bad) photos of my railroad cars and engine.
They are 10 bricks wide and 50 long.
Construction is simply a base of 2x10 black plates, with a 1x8, 1x6, and 1x4 at the ends. The body is built up with 1xn bricks. The roof is then a layer of 2x4 steep slopes, then a layer of 3x4 low slopes with a 2xn between them. Wheelsets are not permanently attached.
Cars running away from SMUDGE, the tuxedo cat.The box is most of my 1x1 bricks. I sort by piece.
SMUDGE He's already caused several crashes.
Photos of the engines. It's 56 studs long, 10 wide. It's loosely based on a GP-10 diesel. I built it around the 4.5v battery tender. The 2 4.5 motors simply ride undeneath the carriage, and are coupled to the tender. It swings out a bit on the curves, but not too badly.
The roof over the long cab starts at 6 studs wide, but has the last 3 layers are 2x2 inverse steep slopes, an 8 wide layer, ane 3x4 low slope bricks.
Engine on bridge. You can see the motors and tender
