[MOC] 1:48 New York Central / Boston and Albany D-2a (1912 2-4-4T & 1928 2-6-6T)
Commander Wolf replied to Commander Wolf's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Hello, it's about 900 for the 2-6-6 and 600 for the 2-4-4. It should be all official parts as well save for some small BBB wheels! -

Commander Wolf posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
Hello Train Tech! I haven’t been here for a while, but I have been building trains! I recently came across an old thread on the Boston and Albany 4-6-6T suburban tank engine, and I saw a comment about its smaller sibling. Well, I am here to share not one, but two suburban tank engines, including the aforementioned 2-6-6T, which I still consider one of my best models to date. To make things as confusing as possible, the NYC called both of these engines D-2a, though not at the same time. The 1912 D-2a (2-4-4T) went out of service shortly before the 1928 D-2a (2-6-6T) changed names. Both engines can navigate all R40 geometry and are much more buildable and usable than my first suburban tank attempt, though the 2-4-4T has to use Powered Up due to size limitations. The two videos at the end go into more detail about each engine and build. -
It's actually not scrapped, but it hasn't been run in a long time. I hope to make instructions for it, but needs some reworking and low on the priority list at the moment.

The marginally less unsuccessful Leader 2.0! I didn't see any pic/comment about it: what did you do for the third axle in the bogies? Is it sliding? How did you route the gearing around it?

[MOC] 1:350 Battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya (Powered Up)
Commander Wolf posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Hello all, three years ago I finished a 1:350 scale model of the battleship Kongo, and now I have finally finished a second one! The Russian battleship Oktyabrskaya Revolutsiya launched in 1911 (originally as the Gangut) and served until 1956. I built the ship at the same scale as the Kongo as 1:350 is common for large plastic models. This video has more commentary and shows the ship running: -
Thank you, that is exactly what I am looking for!
-
This is a really nice model. What is the scale?
-
For those of you who have taken the 12v motor apart, how do you open the case? It doesn't seem to have any of the tabs of the 9v motor; do you just have to cut around the entire edge?

Been a while for this thread, dumping a couple more larger/themed modules: Auto Dozer and Slide and Spin: -
[MOD] Repairing an old 4,5v motor - adding a bit of Japan Tuning!
Commander Wolf replied to Paperinik77pk's topic in LEGO Train Tech
How did you remove the metal gear from the old motor and/or install it on the new motor? Just brute force? EDIT: Also, the 4.5v motor is pretty easy to disassemble since it has screws: does anyone know of a guide for dismantling the 12v motor? -
Dat rotary phone

The body is very nice. I think you could make nicer trucks if you used Technic axles and the cross-axle wheels.

Clever containers. I did a double take

Elevated curve with pillars mounted on a baseplate
Commander Wolf replied to naboo's topic in LEGO Train Tech
If you are using modern plastic track, especially R40, I think it's sufficiently strong to secure only the ends and let the curved section "float" on tiles.
