Hello there, after the "Mod" of my first passenger train set - #4560 - I thought a few days ago, it would also be aweseome, to "modify" all other "old" trains, that I have from my childhood. So, what do you think? PS: I didn't adjust or complete the hoses (handrails), because it's damn complicated in studio.

Hi everyone! After a brief 'dark age' spanning a few years, I've now designed and built a new cargo train locomotive. I wanted something that exudes a sense of 'heavy industry' and initially created a prototype that didn't quite meet my expectations (see image bellow). This model takes inspiration from both the Lego Creator Maersk train, incorporating most of its general structure, and the Polish SM31 shunter locomotives. The locomotive showcases a sleek, black exterior accented with yellow and white details. Because of the primary color, I affectionately named it the "Coffin" locomotive, akin to the real-life SM31's nickname (Trumna). The locomotive closely resembles parts of the the distinctive SM31 train, and the cabin is designed for a minifigure operator, complete with a control panel. Additionally, it's equipped with Power Functions, including a battery box, a train motor, and an IR receiver. Before settling on the black color scheme, I explored various digital iterations, considering options like yellow, red, blue, and green. Ultimately, I chose black for its cost-effectiveness, leveraging parts I already owned.However, it did result in the photos having slightly lower quality due to the darkness of black. The digital model is readily available for download using Lego Studio: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-158217/Brickviller/coffin-heavy-shunter-locomotive/#details The prototype version, mostly based on an elongated version of the red cargo train 3677. Please take note: Although the digital model featured a light bluish-grey windscreen piece, I discovered that no such part exists in that color when I started building it. I sourced the piece from a custom vendor, and it's not an official Lego component. In the future, I plan to replace it with an original Lego piece in white, which is readily available.

Hi there! I'm looking for a train set to supplement my 'Cargo and Supply route to the Arctic' theme. I have no experience what-so-ever thus I would like to educate myself on the matter of cargo trains. Modern and as complete as possible is what I was looking for. No preference of power functions. What set would be called 'interesting to look at'?

My cargo train drive wheels section slip on the track under a load. What's the most amount of cars these can pull or is it in the actual wheel assembly? I had it pulling two high speed passenger cars and the passenger train end car. This is a new train.
