Continuing with the train theme, I'm currently hosting a community collaboration to build and design several trains associated with the Orient Express. Below is the engine I created for use with the Venice Simplon Orient Express, British Pullman and Royal Scotsman trains. Visit the Sims 3 Exchange to download the train cars for use with the engine... each beautifully designed by an extremely talented creator. You can also download the empty train car shells if you prefer to decorate the interior yourself.
For best placement if creating a full train in your neighbourhood... the train engine should be placed on a custom 30x15 lot and each of the train cars on a 24x15 lot. You can create custom lots by visiting ModTheSims to download the Any Lot Size mod. Once installed, just create the custom lots before placing the pieces of the train. It looks best if they are placed in a line. Of course, you can use any existing appropriate lot size available... use the same depth lots if you want everything to align nicely in your hood. Another option is to wait until our custom world currently in creation is available. This will have the trains and their destination locations included. Follow us on the collaboration thread for more information!
The Elf Express is a very creatively designed train homes build ! It is very great! Very nice festive green and red colour scheme! The exterior designs of the Engine home, the Caboose and the Box and Coal homes are very nice! The clock on the exterior of the Engine home and the wheels on this home and the other home sections of the train are great! Very nice furnishing and layout of the interiors with lovely festive touches.
It is a vey special train set of homes!
Aw thank you very much dear @rosemow . Great of you to pop by. Enjoy your lovely comments as always

@soocoolsim , Even though I already had a sneak peek of your engine car, it looks amazing in the picture with the other train cars behind it. You did a fabulous job making the exterior so authentic looking and so much like a real train, and the interiors are really pretty. Well laid out and a nice place for any sim to live!
Awesome work with Elf Express, I absolutely love this Christmas theme. The Orient Express train engine is so wonderfully realistic and the classy interiors are spot on. Your super creativity knows no bounds!
The train looks fabulous and so authentic. The gold and black accents are so classy.
I'm looking forward to seeing more about the collaboration project and the world. Sounds super exciting!
Thanks very much @60smusicluvr . It would be great if you can join the collab. We have a couple of spaces still open to design a train car. In addition, we’ll be creating several new lots as well as decorating the interiors of existing shells so there are lots of opportunities for folks to participate depending on what the like to do. Just come on by 😊

Today I present another build created for the Orient Express Community Collaboration. The architecture is representational of the left three wings of the actual Gare de L'est train station in Paris, however I have taken liberties with the interior for sims game play. There are several activities in this station. The first floor includes a bookstore, lounge, patisserie with the croissants bar, and office with computers. A bouncer guards the entrance to the trains, and sims can pass through the turnstiles by first purchasing a ticket from one of the kiosks. Elders travel for free! Of course, if you don't have Le Cinema Plumbob, the station would be missing the ticket and turnstile feature but no worries... there are several additional entrances in the building. Rounding off the main level are TV screens scattered about, a unisex washroom, 2 all-in-one bathrooms, centre court seating, stairs and elevators to the second level.
The second level houses a large waiting room with arcade games and exhibition area. You can swap out the exhibit items for your sims art and sculpture if desired. This area also includes male and female washrooms and lockers. On the opposite end is a full service restaurant including several seating options, a professional bar, industrial kitchen and washrooms. For a fully functioning restaurant, you'll need the Business As Usual Bistro stove and menu. Otherwise sims can purchase food from the register and other areas in the station. Food/drink dispensers and walkout access to a roof garden bar complete this level. The third floor is accessible via elevators and is a blank slate for you to design and furnish if desired. Enjoy
The train station is so very lovely! Very beautiful architecture! It reflects the real life train station so very well! The design and furnishing of all the interior areas, and each of the levels is so very detailed and great! It was a very nice pictures and words tour that you created for the build! It is very nice that the elderly Sims travel for free
It is a very special build!

Adding my train carriers here since I had so much fun with them while creating for the Orient Express community collaboration. The chemical carrier is a party hangout for Supernatural sims. The hopper is just a deco lot. The abandoned oil tanker was priced to house very poor sims. As such it has very basic facilities including outdoor sleeping bags for neighbourhood hobos. Enjoy
Each of the train carriers are very great! Very nice exterior designs! The interior party area in the inside of the Chemical Carrier is very nice! The wall pattern, juke box, neon wall signs and bar counter are great! Sims will have fun dancing there!
You have very creatively designed them!
Today I've uploaded another lot for the Orient Express Community Collaboration - world build. This beautiful pagoda is based off the one installed in Battersea Park, London, England. Four viewable alcove dioramas in the pagoda feature key stages of Buddha's life... Birth; Contemplation leading to enlightenment; Teaching; and Death. I have taken some liberties with the landscaping and added activities to enhance gameplay for sims including martial arts, BBQ , picnic tables and fun in the sand. Male and female all-in-one washrooms are included for comfort. Enjoy
Awesome work with the train carriers, all so unique and wonderful. Love the party theme of Alpine Chemical Carrier Battersea Park Peace Pagoda is absolutely beautiful, your portrayal of the alcoves is pure magic
