fromthebeanbag Posted January 23, 2020 Attempted to setup a massive indoor/outdoor lego trainset yesterday, and came off with alot of impressive crashes! Looks like i need some practice in setting gradients properly.. Perhaps next time i'll make the bridges out of lego too.. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carefree_Dude Posted January 23, 2020 This video reminds me of when I had my original Big Boy, and accidentally powered it on while it was on a shelf. It shot out an open window, fell two stories, and shattered on the ground below. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

izx Posted January 24, 2020 The stock 60197 locomotive is quite light (even with PUP battery box). I think adding a little weight in the empty space between the cabin and battery box mount would help it, especially at speed on R40 curves. 1x1 plate towers, perhaps?

Lead weight from by scuba weight belt might do the trick! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zephyr1934 Posted January 28, 2020 Okay, the video begs the question... did the train ever stay on the track? Looks like had a fun time and I like the single track mainline.

LegoDW Posted January 29, 2020 See you have a new set, the big stickers at the front of the engine no longer block out the yellow under neigh. White and the Lt gray on the sticker are just not what I would expect from TLG. Surprised more AFOL aren't taking up arms against this. Your layout looks like fun. Might want to slow things down a bit thou....especially in the corners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
