Elektrychka

In the morning, backorder would be shipped by 10th July in Germany, but now it says by 20th August But what is interesting, money was taken from my bank account, after like 10 minutes I got my email which said my order is cancelled because they don't ship to freight forwarding adresses* and 1 minute after that I got an email confirming they received my order. WTF TLG? *: because 10277 in Germany costs 97 euro right now, in my country - full 120 euro, and the shipping is 4 euro...

I'm sorry to tell you but this was already mentioned. But what I want to say... Price in Germany is 99,99€, price in Poland is roughly 100€, and then price in all Baltic states is 119,99€... Yes, Lego will have really big revenues there and my relatives in Germany will have much work to do for me :) (shipping by post costs 5 euro).

Many many photos there: https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-10277-crocodile-locomotive-revealed/

I wonder if it will be easily possible to motorise it with older Power Functions.

Very nice model indeed ;) Smagu, kad esat iš Lietuvos

Recently I was thinking about any regional or suburban Lego trains. Why there is so few MOC of these? Then I saw a review for 7725, and decided to build it, but in 8 wide. It isn't an exact copy of 7725, but it is quite similar. All three carriages from a side Front of the train. A bit ugly, as all trains in '90 (at least in UK and in Lithuania) :) 1st and 3rd carriages (they are same). You can see a green trash bin and tables for passengers. Also, there is a door to the driver's cabin. 2nd carriage. There is a toilet and a place for bikes. When there are not any bikes, you can seat there But if a passenger with bike entered the train, he can unbend the seat and place the bike. Also, you can see an opened toilet door and the toilet itself. Very simplish, just for fact passengers can do their needs :D And in colors of Lithuanian Railways + upgraded roof equipment :) Thanks for watching :) (I wanted to post a LDD file, but idk how to do it... So there isn't any :( )

There is a set databese at brickset: http://brickset.com/sets/theme-Trains/subtheme-4-5-12-V/page-1 As I see, there are more than 15 sets with black steam locomotives. So you can check by the brickset photo of train.

Can you check 8 studs wide 64 studs long custom base?

Very very nice trams! Keep making new models!

Will there be any switches for narrow gauge track?

Will there be any motor-controller and controller-computer wire extenders?

Very good idea! But I really think you should make buttons like in 12V. I think that would be easier for AFOLs and more interesting for kids to operate the buttons instead of computer. Just one idea for the software - make the level crossing and buffers for the track.

Probably one of the best high speed trains made of Lego! By the way, how it does go through curves?

I also do think it is painted, because nose part and other bricks colour is a little bit different. By the way, I really like how lights are made! They look good and modern - I have an idea how to make lights on my LDD freight loco.

Front lights saved its shape - looks very nice! Can't use the LDD now, so can you tell me, what is behind minifigs back? Didn't see it at photos.

Very very cool MOC! I like how you've done with the second floor windows. Interior - super. But: I would suggest to do exhaust gas tube on the engine (exactly over battery box). And the stairs are too narrow for minifigs ;)

Good, really good! But I would suggest you to raise a little bit that bottom blue nose. That gap looks not very good. Would be glad to see more pictures. All train related stuff is available in LDD Extended. Surf the Eurobricks to see how to do that.

Use one wheelset for PF motor + IR receiver (can control motor power) and second one for lights (no control, just switched on power on tracks and lights lit up as well. I think Lego could make this wheelset in 2007 instead of battery box. They made a big mistake, I think...

The building is much better with rear wall, but I think you should return the ramp. Also,there is something missing inside. Maybe ad a map, schedule or something like that. But of course, it is very elegant.

Hello everybody, I'm planning to build an 8 stud wide Latvian railbus AR2-02 (photo: https://trainpix.org/photo/99787/). As I was experimenting with the real bricks, I noticed that small PF battery box looks bad inside the train. Fortunately, when I was surfing Eurobricks, I found 6399, Airport Shuttle review. I discovered there are very small 9v battery boxes. I went to bricklink and saw the prices for this box are very small - just from 2 to 4 € per box. So there is a question: will that box work with train motor and IR receiver if I use it through transformer 8886? Will there be any harmful effects for PF elements? Does it pay off if I will buy more 9v battery boxes instead of PF ones? Sorry if there was same topic. Also sorry for any mistakes - I translated some words via Google translator :)

Did I understand correctly that 8886 cable has both connectors for PF and 9V?

Then they could do more locomotives, for example North American, West European and maybe ex-USSR.
