Paperinik77pk Posted November 4, 2020 Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) Hi all, this time I would like to propose you something different,especially for the fact that I'm not focused at all on "Space" theme. At the end of 7777 book, the main character (the man with the handcar) builds a sort of futuristic train. I was wondering ... what if he gets the plans for something more complex? Well,it's something more difficult, but he wants to give it a try! (Photo of the GE222-Vionus was taken from Google images and converted to .png - but after a bit of surfing I discovered it is hosted on this Japanese site: http://galaxyrailway.com/ ) Armed with skill and passion, he finally gets the job done! "Will it fly?" the first question for someone building a Galaxy Express train is quite obvious. "Will it go around R40 curves?" seems a less obvious problem, but still needs to be managed! ...and it seems it can, at least in rendered curves! It's time to test it on the Orion Line! (maybe we could find there some "starships on fire" too? ) This was a real fun to design, it's made by very simple parts, all available in the 80s. This time I did not recreate the stickers of the GE222 ,since we already have some other iconic blue bricks to use . It is the first time I create an articulated train in 12v, plus it is the first time I cover in some way the 12v wheels Why I chose the GE222 locomotive? it is a quite strange train that always fascinated me when I saw the whole Anime, and it is blue like all classic space Lego sets. It was a nice prototype for a "crossover". I'm preparing also the wagons, so I will also add a picture of the whole Vionus-2 train as soon as I finish them. I hope you like it!!!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 When I see your renders, I come back as a child! I like the cleanliness of your models and the imagination you use for your models Keep it up Davide! Quote
Evans Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 Excellent crossover between Classic Space and 12V trains! The color scheme is harmonious and the covering of wheels gives that futuristic and special character to the locomotive. Quote
Feuer Zug Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Swooshable and 12V in classic space colors. What a combo. Quote

It's a pleasure to hear that - is currently what I would like to achieve when I create those "dioramas". Thanks again! 22 hours ago, Evans said: Excellent crossover between Classic Space and 12V trains!

To say the truth I was in doubt at the beginning... it's a bit strange to see the big "fat" 12v wheels covered! I would not use that trick on normal 4,5v/12v trains, but on these ones...I think it can be done freely! 4 hours ago, Feuer Zug said: Swooshable and 12V in classic space colors. What a combo. Thank you very much!!! So...let's "swoosh" it!!! Cars are finished, and ready to travel around Space!!! Ciao! Davide Edited November 9, 2020 by Paperinik77pk Quote
