Prince Manic Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I been playing around with this until I truly made something so I'll present a Gallery of Trains I've build WIP OR Completed I'm going goto View mode to get some Snapshots of my creations First up is the no.141 Rogers Locomotive that Came straight from Back to the Future Part 3 - the only thing is been improved was the Smokestack I must say it looks almost like the actual Locomotive Rogers Loco with it's Tender - Used Gold Bars to create the wood since this one used wood not Coal. And Now What I'm making it's a Super Locomotive but it's still in progress It's gonna be a Steam Locomotive that is both cool and Fantasy Quote
JopieK Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Very nice job Prince Manic! The beginning is definitely there! You have captured the locomotive very well in general. Some positive feedback: - I am only concerned about it taking curves... - I also think you should also work on improving your drive rods since turning the wheels will be a challenge now ;) That is the problem with virtual builds of course, getting from the virtual to the real (possible) world.

If LEGO continued the custom set this would had been a display only Locomotive as it was from Back to the Future Part 3 as for my driver rods it's a pain to have no way to animate them then I can see if it would work or not my newest Locomotive is well gonna be a fantasy one once it's done I'll see what I can do as for I am making my own train yard to store some of this.

JopieK Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Looking forward to see your own train yard. Indeed the train it is very compelling as a display model! Quote
Prince Manic Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 What's the part that connects to the switches? I been trying to find it and have no luck plus the Train Yard is well a challenge to make I used tiles and color them grey as if it was the main stones under the tracks. Quote
Prince Manic Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Been busier then ever I now bring more creations of my amazing skill to build Trains like this train yard to make a scene of workers busy organizing freight or locomotives and so forth Train Yard is still in the works until I get the time to finish it up this is how it started Here's something I made using the official Lego Instructions with a few minor bricks to suit from it like it showed use two 1 x 3 bricks and I used the 2 x 3 brick to use less bricks for this I'm also trying to recreate Union Pacific's DDA40x Locomotive so I came up with a basic two chassis plan (I also borrowed my BNSF fuel tank and wheels to put on this locomotive) Now something I have Finished but the tender is still in the works to suit this huge Steam Locomotive Edited August 7, 2013 by Prince Manic Quote
Prince Manic Posted September 8, 2013 Author Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) If lego added more pieces to the Lone Ranger Train Locomotive to make it more detailed I would had a cool Locomotive that's both detailed and more as you think as a Locomotive. SO in LEGOs Digitial Designer I've used a model I found here and took the Tender and Locomotive so I can see what I can do to make more better, here's what I was thinking of doing to my Locomotive. The Front has Sensei WU's Hat in a metallic grey and I've thought...Uhh LEGO Really? for a Locomotive? why not a Round 1x1 Flat Tile instead? So this is what I did, to me with this Tile it makes more like a Steam Locomotive instead of a hat in place there. Next up is the lack of windows, I think Lego wanted to try to keep the price down a bit but still they could had added in Windows to the Set so I've put them in all four frames and I like it since it brings more detail on it Now the Bottom seems a little weird just to have 2 2x4 plates on each end so I placed 2 1x4 plates by them and a 4 x 4 plate in between just to seal up the bottom up. With these changes and additions I think this brings in more detailing to the Locomotive as I see as one more. I'm gonna order these extra bricks fro LEGO's Pick a Brick thing and have them to add these in. Until I'm in the mood to really add a realistic Driver Rod system to mine I'll just have this weird system for a front wheels. Edited September 9, 2013 by Prince Manic Quote
Gioppa Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 i'm sorry to tell you, but the flat car can't run on the curved track if the weel are fixed together, you have to connect the weel with pipe, in that way they are flexible and can run for all the rail Quote
