r/LEGOtrains

I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised since these kinds of wheels showed up in the recent BDP Palettes, which means they would be in future production cycles. But it’s still puzzling as to why LEGO is simultaneously producing both the metal axle wheelsets and the plastic clip wheelsets.

This little station has served the area since the railway arrived in Victorian times with a branch line linking rural villages to the larger town near by. It is a much appreciated piece of local heritage, and continues to provide a valuable transport connection for residents and visitors alike.

The modern low-floor tram/metro network has now reached the station via a new battery-electric extension. This required work at the station including installation of solar panels to trickle charge the new line-side fast chargers that provide quick top-ups to the trams when they are stopped at the station.

Signalling was renewed, and the track-bed raised and realigned to provide safe level boarding from the existing platform. For the first time in the history of the village, people now have step free access direct to the city centre, and to onward destinations. The new service is already proving popular.

How are the side panels built on the middle of the train? I originally thought they were 1x6 and 1x2 tiles connect with brackets, but that would be too tall for the rest of the train.

I'd rather post in this sub than the BL gallery!

I want to build this but the person behind it did not provide instructions online, anyone want to figure all the pieces out needed?

Hello there, i'm The Alteisen Guy, a name i've picked up from works on another community, and today i've got something nice to show you!

I'm a long time fan of the series "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" and after a recent rewatch i said "Why the hell not?"

So here you have it ladies and gentlemen, the Koutetsujou!

My model represents the locomotive after the events of Episodes 5 and 6, where it received a substantial upgrade in the form of a Type 48 cannon!

It's made of a total of 4275 parts, powered by 3 motors and 2 batteries: 1 of each in the locomotive and the remaining amount located in the cannon section. 
As for the size, it ears it's name of Fortress, towering at a massive 75 centimeters of lenght (95 studs), 19 cm of width (24 studs) and 20 cm of height (26 studs). The locomotive being articulated comes in handy with such a size, and i have personally build a prototype of the base to ensure it could run on standard R40 lego tracks

To make the locomotive run, a single controller isn't enough. Customers will have to download the app "Lego Power Up) and connect to both batteries to be able to control this beast, which will take a bit of tinkering to manage, but the effort is well worth it :)

I plan to design the rest of the convoy eventually, so stay tuned for that!

I also sell instructions for every single model i make, so of course, i couldn't hold back on this one. In the following link you can find the instructions for the model, full with a list of all the parts! (https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-263113/Your%20Brick%20Guy/the-koutetsujou/#details)

I hope you enjoy this model as much as i did, it's been amazing to make

Have a good day y'all!

Runs extremely well on 3s, been stress testing for about 45 mins now. Motors are hot but not too hot, so far it’s been perfect. I had it pull about 15 pounds and it got almost up to full speed. Going to keep testing but so far so good. Also note that I’m running it with my overscaled passenger cars, I call it the “overscale limited” 😂

I like to think I’ve become a brick train scientist, XT60 LiPo plug adapted to an extension cord with a small 3s LiPo battery. To say this makes a difference in speed is an understatement. Would anyone be curious in these? I’m going to start running all of my trains like this. I can’t wait to put it in big boy.

Here’s a small diorama I made for the 40^(th) anniversary (now 46^(th)) steam engine.

The area’s around 5 ½ x 7 inches, just enough to fit inside my display case with some extra space for a water tower and signal. The locomotive also has some additional pieces on the bottom for detail, though you might not see it at first since it’s kept in the style of the engine. A small third party track piece was used at the front to fill out the space. The signal’s based on AltruisticKitchen775’s design from his signal tower.

I’m new to reddit.

Don’t intend to post often, but I’d like to show more creations in the future.

Most of the roof is finished, and I made a majority of the floor of the building. I still need to add buffers to the ends of the rails, and all the pillars and stuff inside as well. Then I just need to finish the roof, and then make the back wall, and the sheds will be complete! I'd say this is about maybe 70% to 75% completed at this point.

Basic plates, cheese slopes or 1x1 round plates?

:)
