Like, wow. You have been busy with stud.io. Are you planning to build one or all of these monsters? Would they run on any radius curve? The first one (Absolute) is my favourite, but the Behemoth with 4 motors (and 2 hubs?) is also amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Sadly, not shortly. Orient Express and previous cargo train, and the Maersk-inspired engine blew up my budget. So maybe one of them that is cheaper (or without electricity)

These look VERY nice @Darkkostas25! However, there are four engines in the general overview, but only three individual engines spotlighted. This begs the question: what happened to the fourth engine?

It`s my old model  that I'm now tweaking for possible motorisation and more cheaper version

You should post some of your excellent designs to rebrickable to make $$ to build some of your designs for yourself

 @zephyr1934: Totally agree! 👍🏻

@Darkkostas25: man, you did an awesome job! And thanks a lot for sharing on Bricklink! 🙏🏻

The Behemoth is my absolute favourite! I need to check the original, but I imagine M/MS-size wheels would fit better 🤔

For motorization of cargo trains, I prefer the buggy motor

Well, I chose to use wheels from the DP 7-9 palette (I have been doing it since the first one, coz I need a grip to the actual/active parts that are in use and production and cheap (as they could be))
