Wow. That's indeed a huge difference! Nice done 👍🏻 I personally think, this size of loco needs the XXL wheels, but it still works with the XL

Thank you for the feedback and the link to the GM loco! There are really some similarities. Thanks! Danke! That was the idea "This is the way (of MOCer)!" Thank you! Thanks! Yeah I don't know why it is so complicate to move the hoses. But maybe I have not enough patience for it Thank you all for yor feedback. This motivates me to do a little more (pictures follow asap).

However, @michaelgale I would appreciate a performance similar to wheels with ball bearings. Perhaps you could adapt the mold of the wheel holders so that ball bearings could be "clipped in"? Just a thought.

Hello there, after the "Mod" of my first passenger train set - #4560 - I thought a few days ago, it would also be aweseome, to "modify" all other "old" trains, that I have from my childhood. So, what do you think? PS: I didn't adjust or complete the hoses (handrails), because it's damn complicated in studio.

Ooooops. Ok sorry you're right! @Stereo: from my point of view, I was only planning to use it as a "power source" for charging the battery box(es) anyway. A connection from the power pickup to a PF or PU motor makes no sense from my point of view. There you might wait for the FX motor. But I was wrong before too. So is there a use case, of Power Pickup single axle with a PF/PU motor connected?

I think this won't be a Problem. If you view this video, you will se he didn't have any connection problems with a single axle. So there shouldn't be a problem with the FX axles as well.

Found this on Youtube. So yes there is absolutely a market. But FX Bricks Solution will be better I assume. But I still hope for an „advanced“ plug n play version with ball bearings

Very interesting. But I assume the main difference is, that this guy operates under US legal and HA Bricks under European. And so far as I know, its totally legal in the US to „modify“ things. Btw.: does anyone know how HA Bricks will come back? With Go Bricks or so?

Wow, there are some good entries there. Thanks for the Information, I gave my votes 👍🏻

Wow. Thanks for the Information. But there I miss the plug n play way (attaching wires is in fact not as complicate, but I am still too lazy for it). So now put yours and Michaels ideas together and everyone will be happy 😅

Yes! Finally Fx Power is on the Horizon. Just One thought to the metal wheel set. How good will it roll compared to wheels with bearings? Or would it be an idea for Fx to include bearings in this wheel set?

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 😉
