[MOC] [Instructions] Flying Scotsman 6-wide

[sebulba56]

Hey everyone !

I’m not used to posting in this part of the forum, as I’m originally more of a Technic and Star Wars MOC builder. However, I’ve recently rekindled my love for trains.

So here’s a MOC I first built a few years ago and recently updated using some of the new parts that have been released. It’s the LNER A1 in green livery, better known as the Flying Scotsman.

You can find instructions here : https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-242693/Sebulba56/flying-scotsman/#details

The MOC I’m presenting here is built in 6-wide. I chose this scale back then because I wanted it to run smoothly on the classic LEGO tracks I had. The locomotive is powered by a Powered-Up L motor, with the hub placed in the tender. There’s a gear train with a 20t-to-12t multiplication to give the loco some extra punch. For reference, the Flying Scotsman was once the fastest train in the world.

Here are some pictures:

 

After revisiting this old MOC, I’m now working on 8-wide trains, which are much more interesting and detailed (I have a GWR Small Prairie and a Shinkansen in the pipeline). Let me know if you’d like me to keep this thread updated with WIP shots of my trains.

Looking forward to your feedback!
