I'm not sure if this is the proper way to update to a post but i modified my engine's chasis so that the leading wheels are on a bogie. I'm a little concerned about the length, and the front of the train having overhang when turning on curves. I'm wondering if I should sacrifice the aesthetics of having two front wheels for having one front wheel (either on or off of a bogie)

What do you guys think? will this have a lot of overhang? And do you think this wheel configuration looks good for a steam engine or should I change it? Thank you!

First lego moc, any feedback would be appreciated

Can someone tell me or test if this wheel configuration will be able to turn on curved track for me, please? I dont have curved track yet and I want to know if I will have to make the leading wheels a bogie. Thank you!

Based off the class 153 here in the UK.

Any thoughts, please let me know.

Also, starting to post on my new insta @casantiejunction. If anyone is interesting in following the journey there.

I’m still waiting on the wheels since their coming from overseas but I got the tender finished along with the motors, I wish the front could look better and more flat it sucks there’s not a round completely flat disc I can use there

why does pick a brick only sell the train wheels like this I only need the middle wheels and they come in packs of 3 with 2 of the bigger wheels and only 1 I need

Nothing fancy however new coach for a long IET I am working on.

My Lego store had it at 20%. I decided to pick two up and see if I could make it work. Going to continue working on it, adding to the monorail base to enhance how it looks along with the motor.

Recently modified my K-917 to give her an imitation streamlining that she would’ve worn from 1944-1951

if y'all have any suggestions on how I can improve this it would be a big help btw it's still very much wip

Im trying to use the crocodile locomotive controls with this powered up set up but the motor won't respond to the controls, can you only use the motor lego suggests and no other? If so that's incredibly sketchy. My son got a lego trainset for Christmas and then the crocodile locomotive last week, the least he should be able to do is use the electronics from one to another right? Its lego isn't it?

It finally moves🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey there guys!

I've been designing this itsy bitsy mini train, the Koutetsujou (from Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) for a while and finally got the parts to build it.

It's 100 studs long (80cm), 24 studs wide (20 cm), weights about 4.5 kilos and is powered by 2 train motors with 2 different battery boxes, one in the front and one in the back.

Believe it or not this thing runs, and quite well at that, but being so heavy it burns through the batteries, with the first box lasting not more than 30 minutes total in the test runs.

To solve the issue i was thinking replacing both boxes with an rc model battery pack, but i would need to chance the connector on the receiver, so i was wondering: would it be a good idea, if possible at all?

Thank you for the answers, if you have questions feel free to ask! I'll leave some videos of the running train in the comments, along with the whistle i sampled from the series
