Maersk had some promotion with Norfolk Southern awhile back, it looked almost exactly like the Lego version! So it does happen in real life sometimes

As chunky as the trailer base looks, it seems like it could be a military transporter that perhaps the SSP bought to haul around some very cool toys, er,... vital law-enforcement equipment. And the stubby tractor isn't far off from commercial trucks employed for light military use in the M915 series

@RobinHoodBricks

Wow that's massive. You're right. It looks fairly similar and would be idea for the SSP. I wonder if it's a bit big for roadplates but good idea. Woowoowoo!

Perfect use of the chrome Octan parts! Love it! Feels like Octan is using some different kinds of rolling stock from different eras on the Cargo Train, which makes perfect sense!

In real life, there are many examples of petroleum companies have their logos also branded on rolling stock and locos (especially after a new contract). We have some tankers that have the Transnet Logo and the livery is slightly changed (example the dome is painted green) and BP is on the side too. Oh ja, that is an AWESOME build!

Yeah an unusual load with effort explains the oversized base etc. I've not put it away yet so I'll play around with it first!

That chrome really does look great! If you replace the red and green plates in the center of the stripes on either end with brackets, you could attach grey large dish pieces to the ends, covering the yellow and rounding it off. One 1x2 bracket that goes up and one 1x2 bracket that goes down could be joined by a 2x2 plate or mod plate with technic pin that the dish could be mounted on. I also wonder what the control bits underneath would look like if those plates and bricks were black, maybe very sleek, or if they were light grey they’d look look like one piece with the chrome the way the light grey up top also begins to meld with the chrome.

I got some of the lower chrome pieces that were heavy scratched, so after carefully removing the chrome with Brasso, I made an alternate build for set 3180 in the old shell colours. I have been looking to make a similar style of tanker for my Lego trains, now after watching this video I have a way to finish it off. I have some Esso stickers from a sheet I used to add the shell ones to the alternate 3180. Train and city is looking good

I like both the chrome Octan tank and the octan logo on the locomotive. Would it be possible in some way to block the holes on the sides of the shiny Octan wagon? Maybe with technic hafpins and a 1x4 tile? maybe one with dials on it? Think Lego has one printed, if not it is a sticker. Think that might be cool.

hello robin hood bricks if you see a big freight train in america you’d see 3 locos up front and the rest in pairs no bigger than 3 in the middle or back this is because the locomotives they use and the size of the train could actually break the couplers but if the power is more distributed through the train it covers some of the strain that would normally go on the couplers at the front of the train tldr: it is realistic to have locos in the middle of your train to stop the couplers from breaking

@RobinHoodBricks
