I would like to suggest a "purist" category, thank you for your consideration

[MOC] 1:48 Pennsylvania Railroad Q2 Duplex (PF / PU)
Commander Wolf replied to Commander Wolf's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Thanks! I think there might be a better solution for the window with quarter circle tiles... or at least something close but more structurally sound. I have to play with it though; maybe if I run it more and the cab falls apart on me more -

Yeahhh, I decided not to do the Q1 since it was a one off. Someday maybe that or the S1 though. -
[MOC] 1:48 Pennsylvania Railroad Q2 Duplex (PF / PU)
Commander Wolf posted a topic in LEGO Train Tech
Hello all, I have recently built a model that might actually deserve a post. This is a working, running (albeit only on R104 curves) 1:48 scale model of the Pennsylvania Railroad Q2 duplex. PF or PU motors power all five driving axles, and the design uses no third party parts besides #11 drivers. See the video for a more detailed description. -
[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! -

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?

[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?
