Hi all,
Shortly after I made my Mallard Teunis Davey contacted me asking if I wanted to
have a go at making a
NSW Class 38. I did and this is what came out. The train is based on a modified
version of the wheelset I used for the Mallard with only cosmetic changes. Lots
of thanks to Teuis for ideas and suggestions along the way.

Please let me know what you think and any improvements I could make. MPD

Brilliant! I would love to receive the MPD when available.
Keep on building!

Nice to see you doing steam, one day you will do one without the fancy
streamlining to show the greeble underneath ;-)
The loco looks good, but I feel the streamlinedness is a bit understated, I’m
sure you thought of it but I think a cone would be better for the smokebox
front. I like the 1 high panels along the running plates, simple but represent
the prototype well. Strangely it looks quite Russian to me.
However I think if you are going to use BBB wheels you should use them to their
full potential, with coupling rods at a minimum and connecting and piston rods
as well really.

My L Class wasn’t streamlined :P

I think the cone would be too pointy. The peak is surpringly blunt for a
streamliner. I know what you mean about looking Russian. I think it might be the
comparatively large boiler... and the fact that I reused a lot of tricks from my
L class to make it ;)

I agree but I felt that the studless technic wouldn’t do it justice and as you
pointed out before the flex parts haven’t been CADded (not to mention I don’t
have a clue how they work). I might pinch someone elses work (such as yours) if
they’re willing to show me how it’s done.
Hmmmm. That looks more up yours or Ben Beneke’s alley than mine ;)

Hmm, perhaps there a range of parts I should CAD. The flex rods are pretty
simple and the tube is already done.
The older type of
connector is in the Parts Tracker, as is the
ball version.
The newer pin connectors are quite
complicated but there are only two types and one is double version of the other.
The complicated bit has also already been modelled in the ball version!
Don’t hold me to it ;-)

As per usual I forgot to say half I wanted to so...
I also like the greebling on the front footplate below the boiler and use of the
Technic Beam 2 with Two Antistuds’
(32530) in the cylinders, coincidentally I was thinking of using that part (in
a different manner) in cylinders just last night.
I have mixed views on the use of curved bricks for boilers, I’m not convinced
they look any better than slope bricks, however of those two choices you picked
the one which gives a greater impression of bulk which is appropriate for the
proto.
Tim
PS Can somone else post a MOC, I was updating the sidebar and realised that if I
cut it down to the last three MOCs is would just be the lugnet.timgould sidebar!

It is there for the working pistons I never added ;)

That is actually the second iteration of the boiler. The first used macaroni but
I felt it was a little too blocky.

Hey Tim,
What do you mean “fixed”? I still don’t see the train on the side bar :-)
And Tim, that is, the other one, Timothy Gould, I’ve been following your
creations lately, and I must say, they rock! But CAD pictures will never bee the
same as a real, hand made LEGO train, in my opinion... might be because I’ve
never tried any CAD before :-)

Now that’s interesting. Your boiler design is similar to what I did for a GW
pannier tank engine, “Duck”. I’d love to compare how you did you snotting
attachments.
I’m still working on them, but I’m building some engines for a Thomas the Tank
Engine display at LEGOLAND CA. The images are a work in progress, but you get
the idea. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=170849 I’m trying to
build these closer to the prototype then the videos, but they’re a mix. Check
the link to see waht I mean.

Basically this arrangement:
Good luck with it. From what I’ve heard of people who run layouts Thomas is
always a big hit.

Hey guys-
Just a quick weigh on this boiler design-- here is my Percy:
Sorry, don’t remember how I actually built it; I don’t even display it anymore
since the Duplo Thomas sets were introduced.
Well, back to scrambling to get ready for our upcoming show this weekend:-)

Very nice work, CM Tim!
But please: it’s 38 Class, not Class 38. I think you’ve been too long in the
UK!
Spotlighted. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Tim , Richie,
Great work Tim !! One day i’ll get around to building mine.
Richie,in my very first email to Tim I called it a Class 38. So I guess its my
mistake.
Are you going to put it down as a Aussie Icon ?
To All,
A brief bit of history on this train.
The 38 Class continued on from the S class, from Albany to Sydney. The S class
went from Melbourne to Albany. Because Victoria and NSW had different track
gauges.
Thanks, Teunis.
PS Thanks Richie, for putting up the Aboriginal flag.

Interesting; I didn’t know that John
Deere built locomotives, too. I built
this
Massey Ferguson loco myself a while ago, in case anybody missed it. (I am a
farmer’s son, as you may have surmised already)
I see that you have started to build in 7-wide now without feeling that you have
to come up with honor-saving excuses like
“I thought it was a wide gauge
train”. :) That’s just great. I consider 7wide to be the coolest train scale,
all things considered. It’s just that all of my MOCs have magically developed
into 8-wides despite being 7- or even 6-wides in their initial versions. So now
I’m sort of stuck in 8-wide (and I’m totally happy with that too).
The “Homer Simpson ‘doing
shady stuff’ head cap”-as-buffer idea is very cool, and the panels on the side
work great.
Benevolently

Strangely enough I am a farmers nephew and a farmers grandson (times a few) but
I am a city boy my whole life so no John Deere for me. That is the
green and gold of Australia.
I liked that train. Especially the chain on it.
I’ve done seven-wide
quite
a
few
times already (but all
wide gauge).

I like seven-wide best in many ways but prefer the challenge of squeezing things
into six. Sometimes (like this time) I’m willing to cheat a little though ;)
That was copied straight from the
Mallard
Thanks,
Tim
