Pizzareno Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone. I would like to show you my christmas train for running around the tree this year. No fancy part usage just a colourful train for the tree I tried to base it on the old style 12v locomotives from the 80s. I was rather lacking inspiration for my train this year as I try to do a new one every year. The last wagon with Santa and the Elf is definitely my favourite. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42922809@N03/sets/72157638630019436/with/11350413193/ Check out a short video here. Thanks for looking and please let me know what you think. I feel like a numpty and maybe cos the night is getting on but I can't seem to upload a picture to the post....

timmyc1983 Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Very cool little build! I too love the last wagon, with that rotating tree, that's a fantastic little feature!! But the engine is cool too, with the light brick(?) and the Christmas colours!! And on a side note, I'm surprised your dog wasn't chasing the train round and round! Anyway, seasons greetings and happy building Quote
bartvdpoel Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 My 10 year old daughter made one using parts of the Hogwarts Express I motorized and one of the cars of a maersk train where we replaced the blues with reds. She took some pictures, see if I can upload them. We tracked it around the christmas tree. Quote
gazumpty Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 Nice job...I'm in the middle of my Xmas tree display + train! I like your two cars with the Beatles and Santa :D Quote
zephyr1934 Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 That is an interesting boiler on the locomotive, to my eye it has a steam punk shape to it. Quote

Anyway, seasons greetings and happy building Thank you. It is the old 12v light brick inside the boiler. My dog doesn't chase anything unless it is a ball or a stick and then only when we are outside Nice job...I'm in the middle of my Xmas tree display + train! I like your two cars with the Beatles and Santa :D I never thought it was the Beatles but since they have always been my favourite band maybe it was my subconscious putting them together. That is an interesting boiler on the locomotive, to my eye it has a steam punk shape to it. I couldn't find hardly any yellow slopes so just used these pieces and I like the way it looks. Quote
Hey Joe Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Hey, it's great! Love the colors. Definitely The Beatles; Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Yellow Train! All you need is Lego, all together now... Joe Quote
dr_spock Posted December 14, 2013 Posted December 14, 2013 Nice train. The spinning tree is good idea. As a Redcoat, I am not sure I like that Bluecoat band. Quote
codefox421 Posted December 15, 2013 Posted December 15, 2013 A very classic looking loco. The band is a nice touch, and nothing tops that spinning tree! Great Christmas train, Pizzareno! Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 A cute little Christmas train, very good a true Christmas theme with the elf and rotating tree. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Lovely train and amazing movement of the tree! Quote
kieran Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Love the tree, it looks really good spinning round. Nice work Quote
