My model of the Burlington Northern GP40-2 is officially complete! This "endeavor" took almost a week to complete and I think it came pretty decent but not the best The model will be powered by a standard battery box, 2 large motors, and an IR receiver for speed regulation. Dimensions: Base-8 studs, extends to-10 studs, length-50 studs. This means it is a 1:48 scale model Piece count 1430 - Price - $160-$180 USD which is not too bad, but still a lot of buckaroos. Enjoy the pictures!

Hey there CBQ! I use Flickr now for posting pictures. I was able to see your comment by looking through random forums as a guest and happened to come across my page again. The Rebrickable does not come up because I changed my Rebrickable name to something else "AlexBrickBuilds" which you can find on Flickr or Rebrickable. I'm going to make a new EB account because I need a fresh start and did not exactly introduce myself properly. That's the reason I left this account. I hope I'm explaining everything clearly. If you want to have a more in depth conversation or just communicate, please do so here --> Flickr Kind regards, Alex

Thanks for the explanation! Keep up the good work.

No problem, and why do they have AK 47s? aha

Very good MOC! The minifigs looks astonishing as well!

My first LEGO set was the Octan 3180 Tanker Truck that my dad bought me when I was around 4 years old. About a year later my dad brought this massive 35-40 gallon bin of old LEGO bricks which my dad had as a kid, and it included many old and rare sets from the 70s. I played with LEGO until when I was about 11. After that I entered the video game realm for about 2.5 years and then lost interest in it. I started to go back to LEGO and have enjoyed it ever since and now I am a TFOL, needing less than 4 years to become an AFOL.

Nice design! Seems to use 2 wheel set parts. Can they articulate for curves?

This year's Octraintober is my first year participating in this event and what better way to dive in then creating a Model 40! The model can be classified as a critter because it lies on 300 HP. It can easily be controlled by a Circuit Cube Blue Tooth Hub, as normal power functions are obviously to large. Here is how the model looks. I had created this over several iterations, with a couple challenges along the way of course.

I would love a Buwizz brick, especially Ludicrous 2.0. They are very expensive, but it might be a good investment.

Great review on these two sets! Over everything I really like the penguin because it resembles the Rock Hopper species. Happy Halloween

Thank you Davide! Plans for what model exactly? I already have some on my Rebrickable. See the link below.

Hello! I have recently created a self unloading coal hopper. The correct term for this is Falns (as said in Germany I believe). It is created using common parts, allowing a wide variety of color options. The coal can easily be removed, revealing some inside detail (not accurate detail though). Dimensions: 8 studs W 37 studs L (with buffers) 12 studs H If you want to build this model for yourself, instructions can be found here.

Thanks for the compliment! No problem about the instructions; if you want you can purchase them for yourself. Thank you very much! Thank you! I do wish I was able to put decals on it using studio part designer, but I'm not sure how to find 2D PNG pictures of logos and what not.

Looks awesome! This is not the first time I saw this picture. I watched a video on YouTube, BrickVault was the channel

Those coaches look nice! It fits perfectly in size to the engine.

One alternative is Green Gecko Workshop. It is still on the pricey side but there are some YouTube videos showing the performance. If this is still a bit much you could settle for Ali-Express off brand motors, I'm not too sure how their quality and durability is thought. Another option could possibly be to find used lots of LEGO motors on eBay or another online marketplace.

@Murdoch17 I did notice that the pieces were not LEGO, but the creator of this lives in China and I believe that there are less stores available there. Chains such as MouldKing and other leading brands exist there. I have no hate towards those companies, but I like to use LEGO parts as much as possible. Exceptions for me include motor elements, parts not available in specific color, expensive train elements, custom elements, etc. What I am trying to say is that it is okay to use what is available and I give props to BC01POOL if that makes sense. @BC01pool Those other trains in the back ground of one of the images look nice too, such as the QJ locomotive!

Wowie!! This looks amazing, especially those pristine dark red coaches. It looks very realistic great job on this awesome steam locomotive.

It looks really nice. One question though, The battery box and XL motors seem to be off-brand because I do not see a receiver and there is also four connection points. Where can I get a hold of this? As a builder, authentic LEGO brand can sometimes be quite the penny.

You might have been running it through multiple gears over a significant period of time causing the motor to lose it's strength. You may want to buy new motors as @zephyr1934 stated. If this option is too expensive, there are some companies who make replicas/alternative in which can perform better under certain circumstances. I hope this helps you.

Oh alright! Thank you for the explanation, and keep up the good work.

Wow this looks great! Some of these characters are easily distinguished, especially Harrison Ford with his favorite hat.

I think he means that he did not have any inspiration from other people or techniques, but I am not sure. @Ransom Fern Nice creation! I love how the legs are on the bulkier side but the torso is more slender if that makes sense. I do love the swords aswell.

That diorama is insane! The level of detail is on a whole different level. Don't forget about over 50,000 parts! If you average those of 10 cents a piece your looking at $5,000 USD, but of course parts are less expensive, some are more, and some you probably had. Awesome job.
