Uaai 839 heavy railroad transport

[efferman]

I want show you a small masterpiece from a fellow builder which has no account on eurobricks. "Meisterschnorrer" has reverse engineered a model which was build some years ago by the builder "monteur".

The 1.4m long Model shows a Uaai 839 transformer transport with 32 axles and 3500 parts.

here some pictures

It is a masterpiece indeed and not a very small one.

A big nice. I recall seeing something similar on Brickshelf years ago.

A blue Horizon Express?

[efferman]

yes, he built it at evening before making the video.

Huge work!

How good are the 4-axle bogies in curves? Don't they grind?

But i'm very impressed how the arms slide in and out when it goes through the curves and keeps the whole thing close to the radius of the curves.

[efferman]

the 4 axle bogies are not massive. The first and last axles can slide a bit from side to side

[LEGO Guy Bri]

That looks amazing, he did a fantastic job recreating it

WOW, thats impressive. I would love to see how the swinging arms are built. and how all the wheels under are constructed to go around the curves. VERY clever

[efferman]

the swinging arms a unfortunately top secret but the 4 axle bogies they are not.

the pins in the axleholes are simple non friction pins. These are allow the axles swing from side to side.

Nice build! I like how is long!

Very nice to see such a huge set of wagons for something so specific and realistic looking. I like the Bogie design as well, may get used at some point.

there is a new video available
