Electricsteam Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) PoC means proof of concept. Wip is for the body of the engine. Moc is for the pneumatic piston setup. This is the Es. co 2-6-2 Behemoth Pneumatic Locomotive. Unlike most L-Guage locomotives, this locomotive runs for working pneumatic pistons! Downside of this locomotive, is the lack of traction (needs rubber bands) And I have seen the Rods pop off a few times, but I beleve I fixed that. I am only showing this one picture ATM becuase my camera is almost dead. Edited December 21, 2012 by Electricsteam Quote
Frank STENGEL Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Amazing . Does it really work? I'd love to see a quick movie of its operation... Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Wonderful! Do you have a video to share with us? Quote
Electricsteam Posted December 21, 2012 Author Posted December 21, 2012 Amazing . Does it really work? I'd love to see a quick movie of its operation... I will later! And it does work but there is absolutely no traction! Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Good to see the video, although I see what you mean about the traction. It may be worth investing in some either from Bricklink or TLG direct if they will sell some to you? I would not like to be the fireman on a train like that, it seems such tiring work from your breathing heavy in the film! Quote
eurotrash Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 I confess that when I saw the Topic was marked PoC that Proof of Concept wasn't the first thing that sprang to mind... Excellant! Yep, you've definitely got a traction problem Does increasing the train weight make a difference?, or, does that make it too heavy to move? Quote

I would not like to be the fireman on a train like that, it seems such tiring work from your breathing heavy in the film! Ha ha ha... The only reason why it is so loud is becuase I was very close to the camera I confess that when I saw the Topic was marked PoC that Proof of Concept wasn't the first thing that sprang to mind... Excellant! Yep, you've definitely got a traction problem Does increasing the train weight make a difference?, or, does that make it too heavy to move? I found 1 of the Lego Traction band on one of them and a rubber band around all three on the opposite side, and let me tell you it does wonders and the train is almost done and its really, really, big...

Electricsteam Posted December 22, 2012 Author Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) It is finnally complete! and its huge! Edited December 28, 2012 by Electricsteam Quote
eurotrash Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 You have created a monster! A big hulking air-powered monster. Do you think it's possible to contain it within a 10-wide creation? or can it be orientated horizontally through 90 degrees so that it fits within an 8-wide? Congratulations though it sure looks impressive.... Quote

Congratulations though it sure looks impressive.... From what I can understand. I am going with a yes. but they're many problems if you don't use large drivers because of the switch. Also if you scale this to real locomotives this is not all that big. I have a secret goal for this Locomotive. To create a new category in the moc index... Pneumatics!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 WOW this looks amazing! Original creation and incredible mechanism! You're a genius! Quote
Electricsteam Posted December 23, 2012 Author Posted December 23, 2012 WOW this looks amazing! Original creation and incredible mechanism! You're a genius! Lego pneumatics are easy on small scale engines like i1-i2 or v2. And once you know how to build those it is very simple... Only major promlem the pneumatic kit I bought cost be 70 $ And my next goal is to make Pneumatic UP Garret Boy. Its going to be slow because I only have 2 air pumps. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
AndyC Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Nice idea, a great marriage of Technic and Trains. Have you considered building a technic compressor and hiding it in a boxcar or something, rather than having to manually pump it? Quote
Locomotive Annie Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Wow that's amazing! Dear Santa, I have been good. Please give me a Lego pneumatic kit for Christmas. Quote

Thats what I was thinking! eccept I want to build a tender housing 2 air tanks so I can divert the air to build up while it is at a station. Wow that's amazing! Dear Santa, I have been good. Please give me a Lego pneumatic kit for Christmas. Hey Annie I have a small gift for you as in the form of an idea! There is a locomotive speacial to the Richmond area that you should build! Its called the Richmond Tramp and it was a succses world wide acording to the plack I read. Sorry about spelling errors, it doesnt help to splill Dr.Pepper on the key board..... Quote
