Hi! When I saw the 60052 set first time, I knew that must build a bigger, motorized version. Hopefully it will be part of a bigger cargo area in my (planned) layout. Operates with IR remotes and 3 m motors. All motors are protected by clutch gears. Easy battery access: Loading small cargo: ...and handling heavy: Pallet area: And a little office: Working hard: And some detalis: Made a little video to see it in work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=9N42-b0nw5s

I enjoy much better to create fictional models (lego - infinite imaginations may comes real) than modelling real ones, and I really glad You like it. I found one more image to share, which shows almost all model created in the first year of my train journey: Hope the next year will be as good as the first was :)

Hello! Firstly, thanks for the kind words, I didn't want to thumb up the topic with this.

She rolls on 6 axles: 2 free and 4 driven. Working headlights, and ventilating on the top. Basic build info: - 7 wide, and 50 long - about 1300 pieces, 1190g (with batteries) - rigid chassis, built with technic parts - one motor for driving, in the middle of the loco - detailed cabin - two 3 axle bogies (2-2 driven) Electric side: - 1 battery box (AAA) (located at the tail) - 1 V2 PF infra receiver - 1 RC Buggy motor for driving (using the faster 'output') - downgeared (20/12) - infra 'A' port - 1 PF m motor for driving the two vents (on the top of the engine) - operated with the 'B' out of the infra - 2 PF led - headlight - works together with the m motor - 1 PF extension cable (20cm) Some pictures: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope You like it !

Still missing some parts (difficult to buy in Hungary) from the passenger car, so I built a tanker car till the finishing. So: Spark Industries presents: Moonlight CAF24 heavy tanker. The goal was to build a relative simple, big tanker, with classic Lego lines. Achieved? Let's see: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Info: - 320 parts - 6w, 28 long - two different color scheme planned - uploaded to 'ideas' like the othetr products

Thank You the comments ! Currently I'm working on a matching passenger car. The design is almost ready (ldd and the real build too), major missing thing is the interior, but the easiest way to describe it, to show a pic: It's heavy a bit (1200 parts), so the loco will pull only 2 cars. Needs some ordering to finish, but I'm on it :)

Starlight ENE24 The first MOC is a Locomotive of course. She is a powerful electric loco, with ability to run very fast with passenger cars, pull heavy cargo or just work in a big station. Loaded with PF: 2 RC train motors 2 IR receiver 4 LED 1 polarity switch And battery box (AAA) The two motors gives enough power to pull very long trains or climb up inclined tracks. (But empty the battery box faster) It was necessary to build in a polarity switch to reverse the 2nd motor's rotation direction. Placed to the only remaining room, below the train baseplate: There are 2 light chanels. One contains 2 Pf LEDs, one headlight, and at the opposite end, one taillight. The chanel selection is made by the remote unit, depending on the moving direction. The biggest challenge was to place and hide the PF cables (almost 2 meters) such a small place. Inside the loco, wasn't remains a cubic centimetre of free space. More pics: Hope You like It! If so, you can support it on ideas: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/137502

Hello ! Some words about me: my main Lego theme is technic, but I like trains and city also. I decided to make some train releated MOC under the aegis of Spark Industries. There are many plans, but one came true, and another one is almost finished. So I'd like to show the products (and plans) in this topic. The goal: Build not too complex (meaning: not display only), fresh and recognizable MOCs with good functionality for the existing Lego train world. Please comment, advice... (I'm from Hungary, sorry for my bad English)

[TC6] Whirligig
mdbz replied to mdbz's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for the feedback! It was a very very busy week, and I barely manage to make the video for the contest. (there was a system crash yesterday on my PC, then a full re-install ) So, here is the amateur video, I hope you like it. It was nice to work on it, but now I go back to my big project (12*12*12 mobil crane) -

Secondary arm moving ( L motor, - standart remote b) 4. Basket rotating (M motor - speed control with train remote b) Video Topic http://www.eurobrick...opic=105527&hl=

[TC6] Whirligig
mdbz replied to mdbz's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Thanks for all the positive posts ! Today morning I finished it There was a little problem, with arms attached, in need of bigger torque a gear has been pushed out.(function 1) Fortunately, some nem parts to good position solved the problem. They controlled manually, but it's a very good idea to automate.. After the contest I will try to make it if i will have time (but there is an other big project, maybe I should work on that) Thank you. Now, it's working fine, but i need to shot a video, whitch is the most difficult part for me. New pictures, finished state -

Just found this video. My build not modelling any existing thing, but this one is slightly similar. -

Almost ready, everything working fine in test mode. I really, really hope, that everything will be ok after the full assembling. -
Hello! Let’s start with a little introduction. About one and a half years ago, - thank to my growing daughter, who started to play with Lego – my dark age ended. Bought the 9395. I was amazed. New parts, interesting building technics... at least for me. The journey begun... I’m rather ’reader’ type, so not posting too much, but reading the forum almost every day. Working on a project, since last autumn, and when this contest came, I decided to build something (something different) Simply I could not choose, what to build. Another super car/excavator/ truck/tank/crane? No. There will be a lot of them. This train of thought led to the idea, that I should build something, what not going anywhere. Still not easy, but fortunately it came into my mind. Let it be a whirligig. Decided. So, my contest entry is a technic whirligig. Functions: 1. Rotating superstructure. (L motor, speed control with train remote a) 2. Main arm rising/lowering (XL motor - standart remote a) 3. Secondary arm moving ( L motor, - standart remote b) 4. Basket rotating (M motor - speed control with train remote b) It's still in progress. I received the last parts today. Hope that willl be ready till the deadline. Pictures at the weekend.

[TC6] Mercedes Econic Garbage Truck
mdbz replied to Eraman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
With more and more pics, it's better and better. When can we see the finished model ? -
Fresh approach. In current state, it looks like a mars mission thing for me. :) I like it. I can't wait to see a video.

Hello I wanted to create something without wheels :) The other basic idea, that it must be well playable and simple. At last, this is the fruit of the above mentioned :) I hope you like it.
