Commander Wolf Posted May 7, 2019 Something different for once...! Ever since I bought a used 7722 a few years ago, I've been wanting to use 4.5v train/Technic stuff in a contemporary application. Originally I wanted to build an Actual Train Thing, but my Bulleid Leader has not worked out, at least not in a 4.5v context. Recently though, @jtlan and I have been getting into GBC, so of course I had to shoehorn the 4.5v train in there somehow. Anyway the Simple GBC Train has a bunch of mechanical features which are better explained in a video: For those of you who don't know what GBC is: http://www.greatballcontraption.com/wiki/Main_Page Anyway, I put this in Train Tech because while it is GBC related, I think it's more train than Technic. Furthermore, GBC might be the intended application, but this system could also be used for other automated train loading/unloading sorts of things if you are into that. No Brickshelf gallery as there's not really much more to see than what's in the video, but I can provide a LDD file if anyone is interested. Otherwise have a nice day!

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted May 7, 2019 Great project ...I knew you had the ability to make a similar mechanism! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deraven Posted May 7, 2019 Fairly simple overall as you noted, but a lot of thought went into it and it's very well-executed and pleasing to watch. Love just adding additional hopper cars to increase capacity. Great build! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander Wolf Posted May 8, 2019 Thanks guys, someone asked for the LDD file, so I will add it here: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/BradlyColin/Miscellaneous/gbc/190328a_gbc_train.lxf (The heights might be a little off, but they should be easily adjustable) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man with a hat Posted May 8, 2019 Nice work. I like GBC's and it is great to see it combined trains. I cannot recall seeing something like this before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
