Author Topic: Vearspan's Locomotives (Trains)  (Read 2308 times)

Me and my brother got bored one day, so we started making this (massive) railway to run the Box-Train vehicle on. I spent a little time making the railway, then I decided to make scale-replicas of some Locomotives. All of these Locomotives will have interiors, they aren't just good-looking on the outside.

I'll post pictures of other Locomotives as I build them, so 'Stay Tuned'.

 The first one is a BNSF Dash 9 (Or SD-80). For those of you that dont know,
the BNSF stands for 'Burlington Northern Santa Fe'. BNSF's Locomotives usually operated on the American Marias Pass moving heavy freight on a 70 Mile route spanning the distance between Shelby and Whitefish.  
I Spent 3 hours building this.

This second one is a Freightcorp 81 Class Locomotive. These locomotives are a common sight in NSW, Australia. They are mostly used for moving freight around. This one I couldn't make any better, I just didnt have the right bricks. I spent about an hour on this one.

This one is the UP Big Boy. This train usually runs on the Union Pacific Railroad which spans the United States of America from East to West. This train is most commonly used to pull immensley heavy loads of coal, and other freight along the spectacular route. I spent 4-5 hours building this.





(Tender is kind of spammy, but its the best I could do)

(Yes, you can actually look out the front and side windows)

That's all for now, more coming soon!

Very nicely made, I love your work. Looking forward to seeing the 81 Class - I'm Australian and they go through my town all the time, and my dad's quite a train buff too (though he mostly likes the older stuff that was around when he was younger)

Thanks. I will also be posting more Locomotives, I'm thinking about making the US 'Big Boy' or 'Challenger' next. If not, I'll have a go at making some SD-40 versions.

The railway that I was making has a fully-functional signalling system (using events), when the train passes a signal it affects all the others like in real life. The stations also have 'Arrival Boards' which buzz a sound and flash whenever a train is coming into the station, it says which track it is on also.

The first one reminds me of sausage

Just when I was thinking of posting my crappy Narrow Gauge steam locomotive. But anyways they're pretty nice, and they seem like they'd make a fine working pair anywhere. What's the system you use to make them run?

Very nice stuff, I'm hoping to see more.

The trains never actually run, the ones I built are just for display. If you are referring to the Box-Train, it is a vehicle spawned on the vehicle spawn. The box-trains run on the tracks that me and my brother built for them.

And yes I will be posting more.

Very nice indeed! I would love to see Stephensons Rocket or the french TGV

Thanks.

I'll see if I can make the French TGV  next, I love that thing....

Coming Soon: French TGV
