[Guss]

why didn't you put any link to the "highly detailed inside" ?

[Bricksonwheels]

Thnx all!

[Andy Glascott]

That is simply incredible, everything about it is awesome, the size, detail, everything.

[Dafgek81]

Very, very impresive!!!

[Gary The Procrastinator]

Awestruck. Magnificent work here!

[AgentRick]

Any possibility that you'll make some freight cars in the future to go along with it?

[Herky]

Amazing train, would also like to see inside, that is a huge train really, this is what TLG needs to start doing IMO...great job and thanks for sharing it with us

[miguev]

Impresive. Most Impresive.

You should fill it with XL motors, put it on tracks and let it run through all Lego City trains at once. Please take a well-lit video at 120FPS or so

Wow, quick glance at the front page pic, and it just looks like a slightly extended length, BNCF. Only a more detailed study of the picture shows the awesome size of this beast!

[MajklSpajkl]

That is pure art!!! I wonder what wheels did you use? Great news about the book, will it contain LEGO scaling in general or only a specific range of LEGOs (Technic I hope)?

[Hrw-Amen]

Yes it is a really nice train and very impressive with all the details.

Can you tell us, or better still, show us what wheels you used, I am interested to see if they are real train type wheels and if so from where?

It will be really nice to see it mounted on some track and I am with those who would love to see it running, but I can also appreciate that you want it as a display and I look forwards to seeing more pictures in the near future.

[dr_spock]

I think it was mentioned somewhere that the wheels were custom made on a CNC machine.

MOC of the YEAR! That's all I can think of for this beauty!

[Tommy Styrvoky]

Impressive size, are you going to make some rails for displaying this ?

[bjorkan]

Amazing and impressive are most frequent comments so far, and who am I not to agree, as this beauty is realy amazing and...

[cgarison]

Very impressive and I look forward to seeing more pictures as well as the book.

[Paul Boratko]

I can't believe how big this is... Amazing....

Standing ovations!

For the size, detail, functions.

It is even better than the real one, because it still fits on the table .

Depending on the size of the table you have :)

Thnx for all the comments, I am happy you all like it. To answer some questions:

- The wheels: The are indeed manufactured CNC from POM-C plastic. The weight is around 20 kg's and I needed something that could handle the weight. As there are no real Lego train wheels, or anything close that looks good enough, I decided to make them as real as possible from a plastic that has Lego look and feel. Besides that I didn't really worry about the effects in the end, as you can hardly see the wheels due to the low bogies.

- The book will be mostly on larger scale vehicles, but not only. Detail pictures of the train, including engine, cabin, electronic department, etc, will be in it, together with many exclusive pictures of other models.

Woww I'm not really a train fan but this is really impressive

my response exactly. this is amazing!

[Zzz]

When I see MOCs like this, I start laughing and shake my head. (I hope you get this is a positive reaction!)

[rollermonkey]

At first I thought I was looking at the HO-scale train you used for a comparison/model while building.

Then I saw studs.

[Anticyclone]

That is amazing, dude! It's refreshing to see LEGO trains in a large scale such as this. :)

[zephyr1934]

Fantastic build! My hats off to you and I look forward to seeing more of this great model.
