    Please make a video of the decoupling mechanism in action! I would LOVE to see it! Amazing job :wub:

    Hi

    Video can be found here. Mechanism built into the bogie in the Cargo loco from Lego:

    If you look around my Flickr you can also see a similar mechanism in a Class 8 shunter and my take on the Norwegian Diesel shunter Skd 226. At the very bottom I have also put a parts list for the bogie if you want to build it yourself as well as Pictures that should explain the features quite clearly. Thanks to Selander for the initial inspiration to develop my take on the mechanism.

    Hi,

    the constraints of building a shunter containing all the parts needing to use PF is a challenge, but doable. In fact, it is possible to even include more functions in a locomotive just 20 studs long.

    I have based my designs on the Norwegian Diesel Sk 226 as well as a Class 08 Diesel shunter from England. Both have working decouplers as well as propulsion, i.e. 2 motors inside + battery and PF receiver. Since the Sk 226 shunter is only 4 studs wide at the top, extensive use of Snot is necessary, both locomotives have technic chassis. See my Flickr:

    1. I built it

    2. PKH was held in Trondheim, Norway, 43 exhibitors from Brikkelauget with MOCs, MODs and original sets from TLC. 4500+ visitors on Sunday made the event a success. The rest of the weekend with our LUGs general assembly, workshops and of course finishing our layout.

    3. My MOC will be exhibited at Skaerbaek Fan Weekend in Denmark in september.

    Hi,

    The Norwegian LUG Brikkelauget has just finished its yearly event På Kloss Hold (PKH)

    As soon as I had my own copy of the 4000014 train I knew that I wanted to build it, and eventually did after acquiring the 3 necessary bricks to finish the build (namely the 2 black '132' bricks as well as the torso of the driver). My MOC at the event was Legoland Billund from the 70ties, encompassing a narrow gauge railway with a motorized 4000014. Given the very small space in the loco, I decided to put an M motor, an old 9V switch and an old 9V battery case in one of the wagons. It proved to work nicely.

    The narrow gauge design including the switch point design has been found here on Eurobricks.

    Please welcome the 4000014 in its proper environment:

    Thanks for watching!
