Sérgio Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Hi everyone! After a long time building and refining, I’m excited to share my LEGO train MOC collection, all inspired by real-life Portuguese railways. Trains have always been a deep passion of mine, and I’ve poured that into creating accurate, detailed replicas in LEGO — all in 1:45 scale. All of my locomotives are fully motorized: most are powered using Power Functions and Buwizz for control and performance, while two models use Circuit Cubes for more compact setups. I've done my best to capture the essence and style of Portuguese rolling stock and bring them to life on rails. The layout itself is still a work in progress, stretching 3 meters across shelves — and I’ve officially run out of space! It's inspired by scenes from the Portuguese railway network, including abandoned buildings and rural elements commonly seen along older lines. I’ve tried to reflect not just the trains, but also the atmosphere and textures of those settings. Quote
The Big MC Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Well, that makes my collection look BAD. Nice collection, Good job Quote
JopieK Posted April 24 Posted April 24 @Sérgio thanks for sharing. Very nice collection and splendid diorama! Quote
idlemarvel Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Amazing work. Not sure what is more impressive, the trains or the scenary. The abandoned buildings are superb. I love the broken windows and the vegetation creeping through the ruins. Top job. Quote
Feuer Zug Posted April 24 Posted April 24 Phenomenal collection. The time and effort to attain those levels of detail shows. Brick On! Quote
zephyr1934 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 So many inspirational builds on those shelves. Looking forward to many more amazing trains to complement these. Quote
Toastie Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Tipping hat - with a slight nod - but with a deep bow ... Breathtaking. I wrote that so many times, when you presented your MOCs individually - and always admired the love, passion, and for sure persistence this approach needs. But seeing a) all these fantastic models on the shelves and b) the entire diorama on the sideboards ... Thank you very much for sharing - also for showing what is possible with LEGO. You pushed the limits much further than I could ever imagine! All the best Thorsten Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 1 Posted May 1 The whole diorama is a masterpiece (I would like to understand why there is a person wandering around the park brandishing a wrench ) I really like the detail of the railway catenary pylons! Everything here is very inspirational! Quote
