Hi there, wouldn't it be nice to see some pictures of members of EB here from long Legotrains. Although it is difficult to make really nice pictures of long trains, it might be worth to give it a try!

Here some examples of my own trains.. i like multiples of the cars, as you can see...

Here a 2.50 meters long 3677 Red cargotrain....
Posted Image

Here a 1.40 meters long (..or short...) 10194 Emerald Night
Posted Image

Here a 4.00 meters long 10219 Maersk train...
Posted Image

Here a 1.80 meters long 7938 Passengertrain.
Posted Image

Here a 3.05 meters long 7939 Cargotrain.
Posted Image

Total 12.75 meters of train... :classic:


Hope to see long trains!!!! :cry_happy:

If I were him I'd buy two of each set and use the pieces that I didn't use for the engines, and buy individual pieces after that.

Seems like the cheaper thing to do anyway.

Nice sets!
I have an emerald night setup exactly the same as yours, one carrige just isn't enough for the emerald night!
I also have the maersk with 4 cars, not as impressive as yours though!

For the Emerald Night, you should think about making a caboose for it. That would be really cool.

My long 7745: http://i.imgur.com/q64Hz.jpg

Haven't the space to put up a track unfortunately, and I still have to do some optimisation as even two motors have trouble pulling it :(

Seeing all these long trains make me feel like I have such a small train display.

My longest train is the Emerald Night with two passenger trains.

TO BRICKLINK!

For the Maersktrain i bought 6 sets, and sold the trucks, 3 engines and some empty cars... i also got VIP points ofcourse and together wit selling the free extras like the Tote-bag and the Hulk Minifig, the extra cars and containers were not too expensive... Most of the other cars from the emerald  night and the 3677 i bought via a marketplace on the internet.
I actually forgot to post my long 7938 as well...haha...

Here's my mixed passenger and freight train at STEAM last year. I reckon it's about 2.4 metres long and I could add another container wagon to take it up to 2.67.

That is a cool one.. i like how you modified the passengercars into cargocars..... Does it have 2 motors? I never showed my trains in real life...only on Flickr and YouTube.. What do you think of showing them on an exhibit or public show?

Hi everyone!

This is a fun topic - I like the creations shown so far.  I can contribute the following videos:

Here Thomas the Tank Engine (loaded down with pennies for traction) is pulling every freight wagon I own on a long curves layout... and causes a small traffic jam. :laugh:



The following video features my full-length ICE 3 and TGV models passing on a double track layout -- each model is just over 3 m long.



You can see more of these high speed trains in this old thread and my Youtube channel -- I have a video on how to make long curves from pieces of straight track there as well.

Cheers,

LEGO9Vtrainfan

That ICE3 is awesome, and in this case the length does the train a lot good!  Last summer i travelled with an ICE train in German. It is really cool to be faster than 300 km /hour, although only your ears notice the differences in pressure....
But, very cool trains, i already saw them on youtube before!!!

So this may not be the longest train in this thread but it's my newest. These are my recently posted Pennsylvania RR K4s steamers double heading on a six car train. I hope to add a few more cars in the future.

Hi all,

you can find my LEGO train MOCs at http://www.holgermat...s/en/trains.php



This video shows Kai's Thalys and HoMa's ICE 3 on our layout at LEGO Fanwelt in Cologne in 2010.
