Matija Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Here is my first attept at making a steam engine, the more-or-less famous Blue Train (cars still to come): More info & pics of the original engine and the model can be found at MOCpages Cheers :)Â Quote
Zorro Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 The TI-TA TITO TRAIN... You have succeeded in creating a very nice MOC, I like the topic of The Blue Train, and I must honestly admit, for a first attempt this looks (x10). I have been to Zagreb, but I didn't visit the Railway Museum, I pitty that now... Please, keep up the good work you are doing by building this historical Train of General/President Tito ! Quote
Guss Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I think it's a really nice moc for a first attempt .. wait .. no that's a really nice moc ! not only for a first attempt ^^ I like how you used technic parts. Quote
Freddie Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Guss; You haven't seen Matija's theatre, have you. Anyway, me having seen the locomotive in motion, can tell that it's a sight to behold. Pistons and cranks moving and turning as it crawls forward. You see those two lights down at the buffers? Those light up. Really, they do. There's a couple of LEDs there that are very well "hidden", with wiring skillfully hidden away, so it really looks fantastic. The cars will look equally fantastic, judging by the one twelveth I've seen of them. Quote
Guss Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Guss; You haven't seen Matija's theatre, have you. default_blink.gif no.. why ? Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 no.. why ? Just cause....(clicky) Great engine Matija! The dark blue, the white rims around the wheels in combination with the chrome gold accents really make this stand out! And what a great idea to use those jumpers and white plates on the tender! Keep it up buddy! Quote
Lt. Col. Thok Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Very nicely done - you've made an admirable first step into train building. Quote
Guss Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 ok captain green hair, it's a really nice moc, but why did you thought that I didn't saw it ? Quote
Lego12 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Choo Choo! Very nice MOC Guss! Can't wait to see more! Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 ok captain green hair, it's a really nice moc, but why did you thought that I didn't saw it ? Because you said: no.. why ? Savvy? Choo Choo! Very nice MOC Guss! Can't wait to see more! Err...Matija has build this dude... Quote
Freddie Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Guss, the way you expressed yourself, at least I got the impression that you thought this was Matijas first MOC. That theatre is an earlier MOC of his, and then there's IFI, which is also at his MOCPages. Quote
Matija Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks guys :) I've now put more pics into the gallery (including the first 2 cars and working lights... the choo-chooing will have to wait until I get a decent camera and another sunny day ). P.S. To Lt. Col. Thok - not my first train ever, only first steam  The other ones can be found here. Quote
Guss Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 freddie , maybe it gave you the impression that I thought it was his first attemps... MAYBE because It was Matijas FIRST ATTEMPT "at doing a steam engine" ^^ Here is my first attept at making a steam engine, the more-or-less famous Blue Train (cars still to come): Lego12 : I didn't do this moc :P Matija : it's really really nice ^^ 10/10 Quote
Freddie Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) freddie , maybe it gave you the impression that I thought it was his first attemps... MAYBE because It was Matijas FIRST ATTEMPT "at doing a steam engine" ^^ Ah. My mistake then. I'm hoping I'll get a good look at those cars at next meeting (or event), I'm curious at how they handle sharp corners, and if they'll decouple or not. Nonetheless, they look sweet.

Guss Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) oh, and sorry for the majs, I didn't want to shout at you^^ I just wanted to notice that I said it because of it, but it's right that what I wrote ( I read it again ) can be interpreted as you did, I think we'll have to blame my low english skills for that sorry quick edit : I just watched again Matija's theatre, and I wanted to say that the "comparative" pictures with the real one are really nice ^^ it's really an amazing moc !

Lasse D Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Having seen this train close up in person (and touched it... Matija told me to!), I must say that I'm extremely impressed by the details, and that you managed to add electrics. The golden plates look even better/more realistic than the pictures suggest! I will make a thread with the videos (with both the little yellow building and the train) when I get the time to edit them and upload them to youtube. Quote
legotrainfan Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 That's a very fine steam engine you have created! I had a look at your MOC-pages. Your passenger cars also look great. They are incredibly long! Don't you experience problems with them in curves? The steam engine has no motor, has it? I just saw one integrated into a waggon. What I really like are the red end lights of the waggon. Extremely nice electric detail! By the way, the theatre you once built looks absolutely amazing! You don't know how many pieces you had to use for it? Quote

You don't know how many pieces you had to use for it? Thanks :) The passenger cars work fine in normal curves, but I do experience problems in short S-curves and switches (the tender in its current state also has problems, so I'll consider just avoiding such curves). It is correct that the motors are underneath passenger cars (2 of them), not the engine. As for the theatre, I think the total number of pieces lies around 35000-40000. Quote
Matija Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 Sweet train! Thos are BB wheels? BBB, yes (painted with a white marker). Quote
eti Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 It's a great train (though I have never heard of the 'famous blue train'....), I also like how you put it in a museum setting , fenced off with spectators. Quote
Legoking Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 This looks like a really good train MOC. I can see you have put a lot of effort into this and it has came out great! Quote
rupi Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 This is a great MOC, I love all the details You managed to put on it. The gold and silver parts look really good both on the loco and cars too. Quote
