Trans-Europ-Express: VT11.5 "Mono"

Recommended Posts

Hello folks,

as mentioned in my previous introduction (the Monorail Station with "Little Pig Snout"), here is my interpretation of a VT11.5 Trans-Europ-Express (TEE) train as monorail.

Due to the narrow gauge of the monorail the train is quite a bit smaller than minifig scale - still, I have put a driver into it :sweet:

Enjoy the photos and Youtube movies. If you have any questions, happy to answer :classic:

In comparison to a "slightly" larger scale model:

Lovely looking representation of the TEE. The nose is well done.

Iggy Pop and David Bowie would be impressed.

I saw photo's of this train, and the gas turbine version for the first time a few weeks back. Was thinking, wow, I want this in Lego. Nice to know there are other people who have the same idea. The curved nose works out very well.

Thanks Dirk, I've been really excited waiting for this.

I really like both of your trains, the 6 wide and the monorail version. Great job of packing so many details into the smaller scale.

I also really like your solution for running 5 cars. That monorail motor does a good job, with just one running your other small train, and now this pushing and pulling two cars in front and behind.

Thanks again!

Very nice. Did you green screen the backgrounds?

Yes, I used a greenscreen blanket plus software functions.

Just my tools for proper light for filming are limited.
