Personally, I'm using the 4channel Technic Powered Up hub with 2 x train motors and 2 sets of LED:s, all controlled by a program made in the Powered Up APP. I found making my own program in the APP was not that difficult, and I am NO programmer whatsoever professionally speaking, So, it's an all Lego solution, and to my point of view it tics all the boxes....hence no need for 3d party solutions. As long as the size of Technic hub can be accepted...it takes a bit of engineering, and a reasonably sized locomotive....my Swedish RC locomotives measure 8*34 studs.

[MOC] DB Class 01 Steam locomotive w/ passenger car
Selander replied to -DoNe-'s topic in LEGO Train Tech
I like it, very much !! Decals from brickstickershop, I dare assume....? They contributed a lot. -
Given I've seen a number of his other locomotives, I dare say he uses a separate small 9v PP3 battery and thin wires soldered to equally small LED:s. So it is a custom non-lego lighting solution.

It turned out great 👍 Nice shot among the alps 👏

I prefer the 2nd, all-DkGreen version with LBG roof 🤗. But, I'd make the wagon longer for better proportions. -
It is of course unusual and should be avoided....but I can appreciate e g this R40 switch modification: https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/157375-9v-switch-modification/ It is still 100% Lego, compared to buying a 3rd party solution.... going either route is mostly accepted though, in this forum. As long as you're happy, do what you want....😇

Really nice, with lots of interesting details to see. Perhaps too much vegetation so close to the track... 👏💪👌

I'd definitely prefer a LBG roof for a DkGreen coach. It's just a better looking colour combo IMHO 😉 -

Nice part proposal 👏 Such roof ending would certainly make it look much "lighter"/slimmer... Also I fancy the LBG colour, that may be an improvement itself over DBG. Isn't it easy to propose changes to other people's designs ...?(!) 😂 -

Agree with others....a nice improvement 👏 Much more balance for the complete set 🤗 Down to the finer details now: I'm not convinced about the passenger coach roof...it has a bulky/heavy feel to it ... profile or thickness, I'm not sure.....unfortunately I don't have a constructive suggestion for change....🥴 -

Wonderful locomotive....👌🤞 I looked at some pictures, and on those the tender was slightly higher than your design. Also, on those pictures, the top roofline of passenger wagons looks to be slightly lower than the cabin roof of locomotive. On your design it looks as wagon is higher than loco. Maybe just my observations, but ....I adore the loco itself so I'd try some tweaking/redesigning/lowering the passenger wagon to make the complete "set" look more balanced. -
I am referring to Crocodile 10277 which in fact has a 6 2/3 - 7 wide body. Hence it is very proportional to go with my suggested 7wide OE coaches. Note that I count 7w width over actual body and/or running boards. Not outside cosmetic rods/hand rails or such.
-
This is solely a question of personal taste and preference... For me, I like passenger trains that look low, long and sleek. The EN locomotive has got nice proportions, but OE coaches are out of proportions considering their ride height, and length*height*width... Consequently I'd prefer making a complete rebuild of OE coaches to be slightly lower and with format as e g 7wide*48/50studs with ball bearing bogies for reduced friction. I'd keep the lovely external color scheme and try to maintain most of the interior. Those coaches could be pulled by an EN or a croc. All this is imaginary...and will likely not be built by me...but I look very much forward to seeing all lovely MOD:s that I am sure this highly talented community will produce.

Proportionwise, I'd prefer lowering the OE wagons instead of making a beautiful loco higher.

Nice video and summary 👏👍🙌
