Glad you like it! Another member of LUKR has one in the swallow livery. I've got a video of the two running together at Cromford Builds.

Check Block Junction? They have a 6 wide 37 and are releasing a 7 wide one in the future.

@@yorkshiremaninchina Thanks! The event was organised by Sheffield LUG, and LUKR display at shows regularly. Keep an eye on social media for future events: facebook.com/share/i5cJNFJLK3tRWY9N/?mibextid=LQQJ4d www.lukrailway.co.uk

Shows we do around the north include Locomotion Bricks at NRM Shildon, Yorkshire Brick Show in York, Bricktastic in Manchester, plus a slew of others. As Simon said, check the LUKR's social pages for shows we'll be doing.

A pleasure, as always! Those Mk1s are gorgeous. Just need to make my own coaches now...

They are impressive aren’t they? Most of the locomotives use 3d-printed valve gear parts from www.brecklandbricks.com

​@@sjbowenthank you

Good to see you too, Nick! We missed a photo opp for a mini great gathering of 3 A4s. One for another time?

@@sjbowen yes, definately up for that, may even have the lining and decals done by the member weekend

Yep, sorry you couldn't make it. But you were there in spirit - if the number of crashes was anything to go by.

Thanks! I'm amazed by what the others come up with. It's great to be able to show my rolling stock alongside them.

Danke schoen!

Thanks! Agreed about the pre-grouping era. I've got another pre-grouping loco on my list to build later this year...

So it does! I wasn't familiar with that story from my own childhood (Ivor the Engine TV series and the Rev Awdry books were more my era) but, now I look, I see the similarity.

Thanks! I tend to build with parts to hand (often in multi-colour) then order the bricks I need from www.bricklink.com.

Thanks! I didn't realise how 'deep the rabbit hole goes' until I started making my own trains. Check out Lego UK Railway (the club I'm part of) on Facebook for more UK examples: facebook.com/lukrailway and the Brick Train Awards have some stunning models from around the world: www.bricktrainawards.com/

Thanks! Yes, it attracted attention. The new lights meant you could see the interior but I also think it's because it's such a recognisable train.

@@sjbowen Yes, people like to see recognisable things in Lego. When I ran my Coke, Duracell, Cadbury and Milka tankers on the LSUR layout, there were loads of people pointing and commenting to each other.

Thanks! Here's a link to the sheet I made for the stickers, which were printed onto glossy, white, self-adhesive vinyl. drive.google.com/file/d/13i9e4D8EuEWsEmym-kD8uSeHkgfb1RLd/view?usp=sharing

Thanks Jez, glad you like it! The coaches are 44 studs long (not including the corridor connectors at 4 plates SNOT each), which is just long enough to fit the right number of windows in. The PowerCars are shorter (as they are in the prototype) maybe around 40 studs. I need to find some time to do a walk through vid as all the coaches have detailed interiors as do the PowerCar cabs.

@@sjbowen VERY cool and I'd love to see a walk-thru vid. I've tended to model at the awkward City scale of 6-wide. I managed a fairly successful Class 442 (I did a build series for it on my channel incase you're interested) and I've always thought I'd stick to attempting a 6-wide 125 but... I see so many at 7 or even 8 wide, that I'm starting to wonder if it would be possible or just end up looking like a dog's dinner!!!! Lastly... did you ever consider Lego dark blue instead of standard blue (i'm in two minds as to which BR's colour is closest to!)

@@MinifigJez I started at 6-wide but soon moved to 7-wide. It's a good compromise between space for extra detail but not such a large investment in parts as needed for 8-wide. Standard Lego blue is pretty close to the prototype and easier/cheaper to source but I have seen some cool BR builds in dark blue - notably Breckland Bricks' class 55 Deltic. I'll go take a look at your 442...

@@sjbowen Thanks. I think I might have seen the Deltic when I met some of the club members at the Reading Brick Show last June. I've seen a 125 in Dark Blue, and it did look smart (but I take your point about the cost!!!!)

Thanks! Some of the other @lukrailway members have put some serious time and effort into this layout. I'm really fortunate to be able to run some of my stock on it at shows!

Thanks! I think I don’t post often enough to appear in search results and get more subscribers. Busy life!

Yes, very like it. Video coming to reveal all this evening! P.s. I'd not seen the Coffee Pot before. What a fabulous little thing!

Winner! Well spotted. Video of the final build coming soon.

really great! I want to redesign my city in retro version with all your ideas
