Very nice. Now the whole thing fits together really well ;-) Thomas

I would prefer you will update the locomotive ;-) The coaches are fine.... Thomas

Very nice wagons, beautiful, elegant color scheme and great built. You'll have to help with the Emerald locomotive though: it looks too small in height compared to the wagons. Thomas

Cute, but the curved bricks at the front are too much for me. The real one don´t have a curve at the front panel and at the side only a small. Maybe the normal cheese slope is better.... Thomas

Thank You. For your Question: Space ;-) The CaDa MicroMotor main body is only 3 studs long (the 4. stud is smaller as the main body). The Circuit Cube needs full 4 studs in length. Regarding the forum area: Yes, I agree that my little RC truck doesn't really feel at home here ;-) At Bricking Bavaria, he once visited the large Technic area and also took part in the Technic truck parade (until the other large trucks were too fast and drove off^^) Thomas

Thank You! ;-) I shrunk the parts so that they fit inside^^ Thomas

I am currently turning a gear wheel by hand on the trailer as shown in the video, this extends the support on the trailer and it is lifted over the top of the cheese slope in the truck unit. You could also install a second Circuit Cube in the trailer and use this to extend the support (and for a rear lights on the trailer). I plan to do this, but haven't built it yet. Then it would be possible to hitch up/unhitch completely with remote control. In an older version, I had a latch in the truck on the saddle plate that could be opened/closed with a motor. But this made the drive in the truck too weak to drive well and the trailer would also need a brake so that it wouldn't be pushed away when you saddled up. Thomas

Strange definition of scale. I would consider anything that tries to maintain a scale to fall under it. But never mind ;-) The following electronic parts are installed in the RC version: Tenka Circuit Cube Bluetooth HUB Tenka Circuit Cube motor Cada MicroMotor Your question is probably aimed at the control system: - simple option: smartphone with the Tenka Circuit Cube APP. However, it can be difficult to operate the steering properly here. You have to throttle the power of the steering motor (CaDa MircoMotor). This can be done via the BrickController 2 APP on an Android smartphone. However, I only have an iOS device available, so the BrickController 2 APP does not connect to the Circuit Cube Bluetooth HUB. Therefore I can't try it out - My variant: I used the Lego PU remote control, which is paired with an M5 Atom lite microcontroller via Bluetooth and the microcontroller with the Circuit Cube HUB. You need a program on the microcontroller that translates the commands from the remote control into commands to the motors. Steffen / @Asper has presented a program for the M5 Atom lite here on Eurobricks, which I have used as a basis. Steffen has published his program on GitHUB. I have modified Steffen's program for my purposes, but since I did not write the entire program, I have not published it. I can publish my changes, but I would discuss with Steffen how best to do this. In any case, the topic with the M5 Atom lite is more for people who can also program. For first attempts, the smartphone solution with the Circuit Cube APP is the simpler one and that's how I started (you can see my tablet in the video during the first attempts) If you are only interested in the steering and not the electronics, you can take a look at the manual version, the steering is the same except for the steering motor. Yes, I know some solutions in this way. But I know no other solutlion only in the tractor unit in 1:45. This should be new thing. Thomas

Thank You! But I have used Technic parts, kept to a scale and even used more details than some large Technic trucks ;-) Okay, fun. The post can stay here for all I care. Thomas

I just see that maybe the subforum “LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling” would be better for my moc. I would be happy if an admin can move the topic. Thank you!

Hello! Today I would like to present my first foray into the city theme. This truck started out as a load for a planned train (rolling highway), but I also wanted to know: can I build a trruck that can be driven by remote control? Without hiding the electronics in a Container box.... Yes, I can! The little one is fully roadworthy: 1x Cicuit Cube HUB, 1x Circuit Cube motor as drive motor and 1x CaDa MicroMotor for the steering (here the PF plug had to be exchanged for a Circuit Cube plug, soldering skills helpful). And because it's nicer: front/rear light in the truck ;-) A matching semi-trailer was also built, of course with a prototype. I like the north of Europe, so I often see the semi-trailers of the Freja haulage company and my daughter is also called Freja (only in the German spelling). So it was obvious which haulage company would serve as a role model for me. And the logo was a great snot job: approx. 200 parts per logo.... The trailer has a retractable/extendable pillar, operated by hand via a gear wheel at the front. It's hardly noticeable there and could also be a ventilation detail... I also built a manual version of the truck with “Hand of God” control: no soldering, just drive, no foeign parts required.... .... and with twin tires. I'm still missing them on the RC version and have fallen victim to the lack of space. And because only pictures of moving trucks are boring: I have created a (attention, longer^^) video of the development and with many detailed explanations (but in german, sorry) : have fun watching it: I hope you have as much fun watching the photos / videos and reading here as I had building ;-) Thomas / Ts__

This. I need the space above for nice design ;-) Thomas

Nice, little shunting locomotive in the pepped-up 80s style. What surprises me, however, is the position of the engine. The Circuit Cube motor sits too low and is flush with the top edge of the rail in turnouts and level crossings. In the video you drive over a turnout, but that shouldn't be safe to operate. I once wanted to install a Circuit Cube motor like this and noticed the problem and turned the motor by 90°. Then you have 1/2 plate space between the rail and the motor. Thomas

Very cool and nice part usage. I like the "Tree"-Part :-) Thomas

Ahhhh, very cool! I only saw today that you are now showing your work here. Awesome, I love it. Great realization. Steam Punk makes beautiful decoration possible and you have made full use of it! Thomas
