Steamdemon Posted November 9, 2017 Wasn't expecting that! Awesome build dude. love the detail you put into it. It's got the resemblance of a British EMU, with that colour scheme! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted November 9, 2017 Gorgeous! It would be amazing see this performance with a real locomotive! Fantastic video! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legobanker Posted November 9, 2017 Love the video!  I especially love the track in your photos. Keep up the excellent work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColletArrow Posted November 9, 2017 I have nothing to say other than  It's a pretty good model, too. I love the track still, especially the catch/trap point just after the double-crossover. How did you render it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted November 9, 2017 Have you've ever done motion animation before? Because, that was just mesmerizingly cool!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commander Wolf Posted November 10, 2017 Pretty neat video... what software did you use to make it? How did you get the LEGO model out of whatever LEGO CAD program you used? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted November 10, 2017 Neat. How long did it take to render the video?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, it works better with Blender 3D, which I use. 11 hours ago, Digger of Bricks said: Have you've ever done motion animation before? Just a little bit. 5 hours ago, dr_spock said: Neat.

3D LEGO Posted November 11, 2017 Sunder, Thats some absurdly fast switching going on there. Lets not forget the close quarters on the curves too. This whole thing brings up the topic of a new loading gauge specification. Plate BX2+? Or is that HX2+? Craziness aside, you have designed a superb model. Oh and kudos for the OCS! Its the icing on the cake. 3D LEGO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JopieK Posted November 11, 2017 @Sunder, very nice job! The tracks that you created are also very nice. I'm wondering how it would look in real bricks! B.t.w. Can you resize the pictures a little, for some users now they don't fit on their screens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wow, so many strange scary unknown words) Almost everything I know about trains that they do choo-choo. May be a bit more. Can't say anything about that, sorry.

Man with a hat Posted November 12, 2017 Oh my, that drifting is brilliant! Apart from that the model looks great as well. And also very nice platforms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splatman Posted November 13, 2017 Next: Have 2 or more trains racing each other on 4 or more tracks, like in the video Steam Speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
storms26 Posted December 24, 2017 Was inspired by this post, and because determined to try something similar to this, but had only an auxiliary tender to deal with, so I had to go the bootleg way! https://flic.kr/p/22KY92G Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baard Posted December 29, 2017 Fantastic, both the render and the real brick version Thanks for sharing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
