Description

So while the Wooden Railway aesthetic looked pretty darn good when translated into Lego, ultimately, I didn’t think it look THAT great, when I thought about it. The extra-large wheels caused scale problems, and while I absolutely loved the magnets being even more reflective of the Wooden Railway system, with the changing of the wheels, those had to go.

As discussed with the Narrow Gauge minifig scale models, I’m no longer satisfied with the stud-and-socket latch couplers, but at this scale, its much harder to work with, and the tile-with-shaft and coupling-plate system limits how engines and rolling stock can be attached, so I’m stuck with this, for now.

But as you can see; the changing of wheels allowed me to go a bit crazier with the characters, and I ended up building quite a few more. You’ll no doubt notice some are missing [like Mavis and Daisy] but as the Brickbuilt Railway was not as high a priority as the minifig-scale models, these stand more as a proof of concept for the time being
