Well, I haven't seen the cow yet (was just too late), but cows are very likely to be used in other sets as well of course and otherwise it is a good LugBulk item :)
-
It indeed is a US type locomotive! Looks quite a bit like the Maersk one indeed.
-
@krystalKING, I was also too late, but we must be very careful since we don't want any conflicts with TLG of course (that would not help the Eurobricks community), I guess we will soon see official images.
-
:) well, they look very nice, of course as a sticker man, I like that solution! Congratulations on your FP!
-
Well, what can we say other than: very, very nice steam locomotive! Such a rich details and best of all it looks very much like the original. What are the golden rings made of b.t.w.?
-
Very, very nice!! The cockroach could even be better in this I think, but they don't appear to have been made in brown: http://www.bricklink...tem.asp?P=49668. The Eve-R eyes are also very appropriate!

LDD MOC/MOD: Vintage Western-style steam train
JopieK replied to Murdoch17's topic in LEGO Train Tech
very nice, works well together! Nice little small town. -
what part is that rope? I like your build and scenery very much!
-
Very nice! Looks great! Nice colors too!
-
great looking shed and turntable!!! I'm also working on a turntable but will be difficult to match your excellent work!
-
will be difficult to connect two trains though (we have seen that with other trains), but... of course we will be able to MOD and solve such a minor inconvenience :)
-
That is the advantage of a digital MOC first, you can use many more pieces than in actual bricks. After building it, one can always optimize the actual built so that it is more doable of course.
-
well, not too complex, one could connect two of those in series e.g.: Link
-
Very nice built! Two remarks: should have his eyes closed (Jesus was already dead before the piercing), and maybe the other two crosses would complete the scenery!
-
Welcome to Eurobricks kenny!

Well, I have never seen such a yellow freight train in Europe as well, the old LEGO trains and sets like the Emerald Night and Horizon Express look more like real trains (and of course the BNSF and SF too).
-
rebelego, you said: " If there is a constant analog 9 V signal from the battery box", there indeed is a constant 9V voltage from the battery box. @bjorkan, you could use a 'buck convertor' to cranck the voltage up a little bit (will cost more energy from the battery though. The LiPo is about 7.2 Volts b.t.w. so I think too low for a smoke generator.

very nice job!!!

Hi - New to the forum and a story with a somewhat sad ending.
JopieK replied to JP911's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I would not ship it assembled or at least completely assembled. Don't think it will survive (I have experience bringing a modified (and stronger) version to exhibitions and it also seems to be hard keeping it from falling apart. -
But for us a good thing so we can MOD it ;) I only regret the cargo train to have light blue windows, I would have preferred trans clear. But I think it will be a great train after all. @skriblez, I have discussed it in the regulator forum and we think the images are from a handlers catalog so they are preliminary so we just have to wait.
-
Very nice job! Also good use of the BBB medium wheels! I like the red one best!
-
that train front indeed looks ugly, maybe the other cars are still usable for us train lovers!! I also like the Freight train locomotive, and the station also looks promising!
-
@Mike: I just merged your question on this clone brand with the Train clone brand topic.
-
DCC is way too complex for such a system. I think a more simple wireless protocol is much easier. The base will then power the cars, a power regulator for the wireless logic and the 4.5V motor! The wireless logic can then use PWM to control the motor.
-
nice job :) especially the pendulum!
