Peteris_Sprogis Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I recently got a haul with an incomplete Galaxy Squad 70709 set which features some nice pieces. Getting new pieces in collection always inspires me to see what can I build out of them so I made a Galaxy Squad-ish train locomotive. at latest LATLUG public display at "Kids World 2015" fair in Riga, Latvia during the display there was a crash and it drove off the table but it was fixable within few minutes in comparison to #60052 and a video featuring Galaxy Train in action And btw in case if You are interested the intsructions of Galaxy Train are available at my EBAY store http://www.ebay.com/itm/171753349765 Thanks for Watching!

Trainmaster247 Posted April 24, 2015 Nice design I notice a little bit of power miners in there to, great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted April 24, 2015 Really futuristic! Only way to make it even more sci-fi would be to make it hover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Leader Posted April 24, 2015 Good job on the lime green accents! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted April 24, 2015 Nice work. I think the middle section could be a bit lower to the track to match the front of the train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 24, 2015 COOL ! I like it, futuristic and plausible too (I can see something like that on rails in the real world in a few years).......great work 'Peteris_Sprogis' and Brick On ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego Dino 500 Posted April 25, 2015 This is really cool. If there was still Monorail sets being released, this is exactly how I'd imagine a Galaxy Squad Monorail set would look like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted April 25, 2015 I love the use of that bubble canopy for the front windscreen. And the lime and azure colors work well together. Great build and a wonderful source of inspiration for 6 wide space themed train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marook Posted April 25, 2015 Cool, great build! How did you do the technic behind the 'forklift' loading the train in the video?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted April 25, 2015 Cool, great build! How did you do the technic behind the 'forklift' loading the train in the video?? Probably magnets? Came out great! I think the forklift deserves its own topic/video too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peteris_Sprogis Posted April 27, 2015 Probably magnets? Came out great! I think the forklift deserves its own topic/video too. Forklift is made by Eurobricks & Flickr user De-marco! Check his Flickr for more info, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spzero Posted April 27, 2015 great moc would love that running round our shop window something a bit more futuristic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feuer Zug Posted April 27, 2015 Slick build. I like it because you've got some good colors and a very plausible design. Kudos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted April 27, 2015 Awesome ...this train looks like a torpedo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanesteele240 Posted April 28, 2015 I just bought a pdf of this off ebay. I hope it was you selling them and not some hacker person. I m going to brick link that thing as soon as i get the file I hope to be able to mod a slug engine to go behind the engine. My plans are to just add peices to extend the center of the car instead of having a driver section. Mabe add a second train motor there. It would be nice to have some futuristic rail cars as well.

I like it, futuristic and plausible too (I can see something like that on rails in the real world in a few years).......great work 'Peteris_Sprogis' and Brick On ! It would need ejector seats though. A collision of any kind would be instant death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted April 28, 2015 Forklift is made by Eurobricks & Flickr user De-marco! Check his Flickr for more info, etc. In the Flickr video, you can see the forklift is moved by a thin Technic liftarm. Very cool build indeed. [/hijack] Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Hi, Thnx for the purchase! Everything is fine and it s no hacker person! SQVIK is my girlfriend's username and I m just posting stuff on her Ebay profile. It s totally awesome You did not decide just to reverse engineer this thing but show respect to the author of design by purchasing the PDF.! great moc would love that running round our shop window something a bit more futuristic Hi, in case if You are really really :) interested the instructions on how to build the Galaxy Train are available for purchase at my Ebay store http://www.ebay.com/itm/171753349765 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanesteele240 Posted April 30, 2015 Yes Pete. I saw a youtube vid of that train before i saw it here. I knew i had to have one. My building skills and parts bin are not full enough to build something like this. Maybe i can lean someting about how others make mocs when building the train. Keep it up and get to work on some cars to follow that thing. Hauling logs and boxes just dont look right. It would be like the engine from the 60052 pulling the coal tender from the emerald night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanesteele240 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) I finally got the parts to finish my copy of your build. A few peices have yet to show like the blasters for the rear and ir reciever. With green vents With blue vents I had a fun time linking all the parts and doing this build Edited May 18, 2015 by lanesteele240 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rahziel Posted July 11, 2015 What a great futuristic loco, well done, now add some crazy theme carriages to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgarison Posted July 26, 2015 With the latest train win at BrickWorld being the "Princess Train" and Philly BrickFest train winner being the "Ghost Train," theme trains are certainly getting a lot of respect at AFOL events this year in the United States. This has me thinking about expanding both of my theme train layouts for the years down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roost884 Posted August 25, 2015 Awesome looking train! I have wondered a few times about converting non train sets into trains. I have used the Technic 42022 to make an interesting shunter. Are there any others out there doing this? i.e. take a clearance item Lego set and convert it to a train Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
