HoMa Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Hi all, I've uploaded the first videos of our big loop train layout at LEGO Fanwelt in Cologne some weeks ago. This is a stationary shoot of the full loop with my ICE 3 and Kai's Thalys: And some "on-track-shoots" of my old BR 10 with Riviera-Express passenger coaches and the ICE 3: It's cool to see these train monsters in 8-wide running on track rather trying to get aroung standard LEGO curves. The whole layout was about 18x6 meters with 3 individual loops using only straight 9V LEGO tracks. The table heights differed very much so the ride on the trains might have not been so comfortable :-] Have fun, Holger Quote
Teddy Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Wow! those are some really cool videos. Let me help a bit by redirecting your youtube clips. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do the same with the clip on Flickr. On 12/2/2010 at 8:40 PM, HoMa said: BR10: ICE3: Quote
MightySlickPancake Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 Fantastic . The last two videos are excellent . I love seeing 8wide trains going over a correctly sized curve as other wise they just look ridiculous. Thanks, CB Quote
roamingstop Posted December 3, 2010 Posted December 3, 2010 The tanker cars are also really nicely designed - do you have better pictures of them. Certainly the scale is the best i have ever seen... I wonder if it is worth doing rapid prototyping of larger scale curves to allow 8 wide on general. Quote
HoMa Posted December 3, 2010 Author Posted December 3, 2010 Hi all, I've uploaded some more pictures and videos: Layout plan: ICE 3 and Thalys from birdseye's perspective BigBoy (original design byJayhurst) All pictures - at brickshelf: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=453644 und - at flickr: Enjoy, HoMa P.S. Sorry, I don't have any other pics of the tank cars. Quote
CarrollFilms Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 THAT IS AMAZING, i haven't seen such a huge layout like this in a while, I have to say, those ICE trains were pretty cool, they seemed realistic. Keep up the great work, 8 Wide ALL THE WAY!!!! Quote
lego9vtrainfan Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 WOW! Fantastic videos, layout, and trains! The ICE 3 and Thalys look right at home on this large layout. The bumpy ride because of the tables is only a minor inconvenience -- if I was a LEGO person, I would definitely want to ride in one of those trains. I've subscribed on YouTube for sure. Keep up the great work HoMa! Cheers, LEGO9Vtrainfan Quote
VoipGuy Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Really awesome layout, with great trains. Superb design!! Quote
