Finished my Lego DM/D Wellington trains

Today I finished designing my New Zealand Railways DM/D class EMU. They were in service on the Wellington Railway network from 1936 all the way until 1984, when they were retired, save for a handful on a single branch line. When they needed to replace the trains that replaced these they actually brought a number of these back into service on the mainline, meaning that these trains served from 1936 all the way until 2014, some of them being in service for that entire time. The liveries are right to left as follows: 1936 stock original blue (1936-1946), New Zealand railways red (1940- 1984, 2009-2014), and Tranzrail blue (1984-2013).

Really made my day. Going to hide it somewhere near my church so that hopefully it can make somebody else’s too.

Missing its side rods and front truck so it’s now a temporary rigid frame 0-2-2+0-2-4 instead of a 4-6-4, but at least she runs!

I was looking for good parts to use as the connecting rods for my NZR WAB suburban tank engine, and I stumbled on these. Using them would greatly simplify my design, but so far I’ve only seen them on this set, which doesn’t release for another month. Did they come out in any other sets before this, or will I just have to wait for the set to come out before I acquire these parts?
