Train Project

Post by Graham »

Recently i have started working on trains and have started with a design for the intermodal containers. Even though there aren't any doors yet, the design works great in the lowbed car i have (pictured below), plus they stack nice due to the 2x2 corner plate resting snug against the tiles on the top of the containers.

Also in the picture is my shunter engine i created. It as well is a WIP. The blue technics is the start of a grappling system to pick up and move the cans from trucks, boats and/or trains.

Any ideas or comments?

Thanx,

Graham

I like the engine and the container "grabber".... I'm thinking of setting up a LEGO layout, maybe I'll use your idea for a port.
