Huge images. Turned into links. Please, resize before deeplinking. Thanks.

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!

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Gorgeous! It would be amazing see this performance with a real locomotive!

Fantastic video!

[legobanker]

Love the video!  I especially love the track in your photos. Keep up the excellent work 

[ColletArrow]

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?

[Digger of Bricks]

Have you've ever done motion animation before? Because, that was just mesmerizingly cool!  

[Feuer Zug]

Sweeeeeeet!

That's both hilarious AND awesome. Thanks for sharing! (also, I just HAD to post this one over at BMR...)

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?

[dr_spock]

Neat. How long did it take to render the video?

Thanks everyone.

Mecabricks.com subborts export to different 3D editors. However, it works better with Blender 3D, which I use.

Just a little bit.

About 2 - 2.5 days without failed attempts.

[kieran]

That's a huge amount of work

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.

@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.

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]

Oh my, that drifting is brilliant! Apart from that the model looks great as well. And also very nice platforms.

[splatman]

Next: Have 2 or more trains racing each other on 4 or more tracks, like in the video Steam Speed.

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!

Fantastic, both the render and the real brick version

Thanks for sharing!
