Alternative train wheel set with ball bearings
CaL replied to German Luigi's topic in LEGO Train Tech
A few US american guys back in 2017 also posted about their solution with ball bearings: https://brickmodelrailroader.com/index.php/2017/01/21/keeping-it-rolling-smoothly/ -
Hi Enrico, a very nice Layout! Just a short remark from my side: The correct abbreviation for “Bahbetriebswerk” is “Bw”, not “bhw”. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnbetriebswerk Cu Carsten

Let me add, that building in an uneven width (e.g. 7 or 9 studs) seems to be more challenges according to some famous Lego train guys, e.g. Holger Matthes - take a look at his nice book: https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/1593278195/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=The+Lego+Trains+Book&qid=1579858035&sr=8-1 Or his VT 11.5: https://www.holgermatthes.de/bricks/en/vt-11-5-tee.php

Yes, this train company is called “Metronom” and mainly runs trains in the area between Hamburg, Hannover and Lüneburg. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronom_Eisenbahngesellschaft -
Very nice! In which original set where the wood pattern tiles used?

Looks similar to my (yet unfinished) attempt to model the famous DB 103 in 8 wide ;)

Excellent news! You are my heros guys!

Hi, a very nice build! If you are looking for more british prototypes I can recommend you the YouTube Channel of Chris Eden-Green. The guys looks like beeing stuck in the 1970ies but makes very informative Videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/ChristheXelent KR CaL

Hi Davide, thanks for this video! Remembering seeing & riding on trains pulled by some of those type of small diesel engines on some European narrow gauge railroads I must admit that the speed to me seems to fully match my memories ;) Carsten

Hi Martin, a very nice rendition of the original prototype! It was also my first choice to Build in Lego in 1996: http://bausteine-bahn.de/Dampfloks/da-frame.htm KR Carsten -
Hi Niklas, nice replica of the trains I use each morning ;) BR from Hamburg

Hi, maybe you should give a buWizz a try! 1) It eliminates the IR receiver and gives you more space for additional gearing 2) If the gearing stays with the original gearing, you could run the buWizz in a high speed mode, which puts out higher voltage KR Carsten

Hi, I have both, BuWizz and S-Brick. I can confirm the remarks about the BuWizz’s UI, but the advantages weigh way more higher! For S-Brick you need a battery box or the rechargeable battery, which in total consumes more space than a BuWizz. With BuWizz I powerfunctionized my old 12V TEE (=Set 7740) and because of the ludicrous mode it runs reasonably well. CU Carsten

Hi, a nice and interesting solution! How does the charger unit look like? You should seek for help with the guys of 4Dbrix. They have a lot of experience in 3D-printing and electronics. Regards from Hamburg CaL
