Free building instructions by fellow Danish LUG member Knud Ahrnell Albrechtsen at snakebyte.dk. Beware that the base of the shed follows the MODUVERSE-standard but can easily be reversed back to ordinary baseplates and train tracks
-
A fellow Danish LUG-member Lars Mogensen already tried this on LEGO Ideas two years ago getting 2018 votes before deadline whixh is not that bad for a trainset. Still, best of luck to you, you could not have picked a nicer train Link to LEGO Ideas Link to our Danish LUG site with pictures of the whole trainset

Love it, voted for it and would buy it for sure, multiple times

For those interested: Free building instructions by felllow Danish LUG-member Knud Ahrnell Albrechtsen and stickers by me at snakebyte.dk

Lovely train - you always seem to have a very aesthetically pleasing look to your builds which have been an inspiration for my own work in a long time 👍
-
With no room, a suggestion could be to start building virtual models using some of the nice building programs out there 🙂 We want to see more 😁
-
Marvellous MOC 👍👍👍 Totally killed any aspirations I ever had to build our local Danish version of the TEE, DSB Litra MA - I will just buy your next book with the building instructions, deal 😁

And in addition to what zephyr1934 wrote, don’t submit models to LEGO Ideas borrowing heavily from other people’s designs. At least not without contacting them first
-
Yeah, a stand-alone Powered Up hub (with adapters) would be nice too
-
Always fun to see another tackle a much beloved locomotive and try and translate it into bricks...a tough one! Very nice looking 7-wide version with some unique solutions (!) I especially like the three-axle bogies (dremel or not) but the nose seems a bit too steep and the portholes a bit off even though they seem ok size-wise (maybe the surroundings?). And with the dremel already in use, lights in the upper nose shouldn't be a problem But well done overall

Serveral wonderful trains have been proposed on LEGO Ideas through the years, some from known great builders, some beautiful beautiful designs, some famous trains with mass appeal and none, except the tram mentioned above (and it still wasn’t picked) have reached the votes necessary (not even above the 4000 mark, I think). Trains are too niche for the masses, one could argue. And it seems that LEGO knows this very well from their own market research, just look at their current product line, 1 cargo train, 1 passenger train and from time to time 1 train station or a creator train, that’s it. Otherwise they would be producing more train sets for sure. A LEGO Ideas train set probably would not sell enough in whatever shape or form or however brilliant to be considered a valid option. That is the harsh reality imo. So it seems futile even trying but I would very much like to be proven wrong 🙂

Not with a train motor (and protruding pin) directly underneath 😒 A smaller battery box would be nice, LEGO 😁
-
Actually the PF train motor also works with PF to 9v extension wire between the IR Receiver and the old smaller 9v battery box (the PF battery box is too big for a train this small). Only PUp seems a no-go currently.
-
Thanks, nice compliment But seriously, some essential parts have not been in production in a long time, the old 9v battery box or the 9v train motor. Without them, the Kof would be push-only and who wants that. I also see no way how PUp would work, yet that is. And no old train windows Even with the required 10000 votes, I don’t think LEGO would pick it, because of the reasons mentioned above and look, it is a train after all Anyway, a fellow Danish LUG member and I are working on building instructions (and stickers) people can download for free and build it if they want to.

[MOC] Laura's Narrow-Gauge Rolling Stock Roster
dtomsen replied to Laura Takayama's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I love Narrow-Gauge, so cute and difficult to get right. You are on the right track - sorry couldn't resist
