Hoexbroe Posted May 20, 2018 Hi everybody, A simulated train ride; A couple of years ago I saw a TV program about NEW and HOT gadgets in Japan. Among those were a cheap plastic box where you could insert your mobile telephone and download videos of different train travels from around the country. Supposedly it allows the user to experience a train travel even if you haven´t the time, money or friends to make it in real life. I immediatly wanted to re-create it in Lego! Since then it has been one of my trusty companions travelling to LEGO expo´s in Spain. I must say that it has a certain hypnotic effect on people when they see it... In the original japanese version, there is only ONE traveller in the compartment. (The girl. I dont know if other versions exist) As I havent seen the toy here in Europe, and I havent seen any other Lego version of it, I take it that it wasn´t a success. But as a Lego creation it works surprisingly well! I want to stress that the build tries to recreate the interior of a train compartment, and it really isnt much to look at from the outside... Here´s a video of the thing running; Ciao! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred67 Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Very cool! I'm inspired to make a mechanical one, although I don't have any of those classic figures. Edited May 20, 2018 by fred67 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
