Really nice build! Only one point: it seems you use the Standard L #9 train wheels from Lego. I would prefer the XL #11 wheels for the loco and M #7 (or similar size) wheels for the tender. I think the Mould King Version used that wheel sizes too.

Mould King has also the XXL wheels, at least at their Orient Express

Can the devs please delete this topic, to avoid more heart attacks? 😅

Wouldn't say so. If the last Ideas sets show us one thing, then clear that the original submit and the final set must not look like the same 😉

Wow! One of my all time favourite cars in a totally interesting size. Beautiful!

YES! I will wait for the "Mods" solutions of the Masterbuilders. But I am afraid, THIS needs much more modding than the crocodile.

@M_slug357: sad to say, but you are dam right. I am honestly total dissapointed from the released set. Made my day!

Yes, but I am waiting until it is cheaper 😉 What I am also thinking: rebuild the Mould King Trains with #13 XXL Wheels (except the Hogwarts, there the #11 XL are ok, in my opinion).

Sadly this seems to be true

Still no sign. Shouldn't it be revealed today? Maybe it will be really delayed?

I know we shouldn't reply to old posts, but to finally answer the last post, just google: „Lego train bearing“. You will find inbetween many Solutions: Researches like this ready mounted bricks from HA-Bricks or from bricktraindepot or „How-To“ Videos like this one from Thomas. I hope this will help others too.

Please NO!!! I am currently counting the days until the first leaks/Photos show up. I paused some MOC ideas to wait for, if Lego brings new parts / ideas for at this set. I dont want to wait until next year 😕. PS: even Mould King has inbetween released an Orient Express

For me, it looks like a Plate, Modified 1 x 8 with Door Rail (4510) in red, with slopes on it. I tried to use this on my Scotsman MOC, but wasnt satisfied.

I thought about it for a long time. Should I show the model only when it is really finished, should I build it first in real etc. etc.? But since I don't have too much experience with MOCs and the availability of parts is currently a reason for me to wait a bit, I decided to share the current WIP (work in progress) status with you. I "build" on your feedback The model: The story: The pictures: And here is a picture from the "inside". It is planned for up to 2 motors:

Update: Since I saw the first pictures of the new in-progress Railjet 2 with the new low-floor cars, I had the idea to rebuild the 4560 more in this direction and still keep the original style and design. I found some inspiration here in the forum (NSB Class 73). This helped me to go in the right direction. At first I tried to use only the narrow windows, or only the big ones in a row, or even without the blue stripes on the roof. As usual, there were a lot of try and error: But I just can't help myself. Somehow the original color scheme fascinates me. So I tried to keep the TLG design. In the end, I tried to reuse as many elements from the 4560 as possible, but still create a reasonably appealing and realistic train. What do you think?
