  1. Exciting. To avoid the problem with the curves, you could also use a mountain railway with straight tracks. The straight track section has 2w (two studs wide) so it would fit nicely in the middle of the normal 6w train tracks. It would be really amazing if there were even enough space for the 4W tracks. Then you could build narrow-gauge mountain railways.
  2. @LEGO Train 12 Volts: nice job in 6w πŸ‘πŸ» However, two things struck me when I looked at this picture: 1. The lights Have you ever tried half or quarteri tiles instead of circular tiles? Mayve also in trans brown or trans black (not available from TLG)? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=25269#T=C&C=12 2. as @LL1982 already mentioned, I would either make the tile at the nose completely green or reverse the colour distribution (i.e. small white stripe).
  3. So I assume it will be on display at the next model building fair (Modellbau Messe) in Ried? πŸ˜‰ I knew I recognized your models and your layout from somewhere πŸ˜… Greetings from Linz πŸ‘‹πŸ» Patrick
  4. @Brickstone_City I'm blown away. 😱 For several years now, I've been thinking about how to create the front of the 4010. And whether dark blue is the right colour. Honestly I was tinkering around with 7-8 wide πŸ˜‰ But you managed it in 6w! πŸ‘πŸ»Respect! I'm absolutely thrilled and, if I am allowed, I'll be copying a thing or two.
  5. Yeah they just confirmed it at the comments of the YouTube Video. 😞 BUT Ben (Big Ben Bricks) said on his page, that: β€œMany people have reached out to me with interest in Big Ben Bricks. In the coming weeks I hope to have more information on what that transition may look like.β€œ So there is still HOPE
  6. Based on how the wheels look, I don't think they are injection-molded parts. Multicolored wheels would probably be too much effort. On the other hand, there is no information anywhere about how the wheels are manufactured. Or did I miss that Information?
  7. Am I mistaken, or are these just 3D-printed wheels? Because Big Ben wheels had injection-molded wheels, which I prefer
  8. @German Luigi: I've just been on the train and passed the original wagon (also with 2 containers) πŸ˜… So I can rightly say: very well done πŸ‘πŸ» But I would build the upper frame with tiles inverted, instead of normal plates, unfortunately there are none in blue (at least from Lego)
  9. Thank you @Ashi Valkoinen Hmm. I definitely have no experience as a β€œprofessional”, i.e. as an exhibitor (like at BBST), but I wouldn't consider the lower speed to be a problem. Most people want to see longer trains anyway, not β€œfaster” trains. Above all, I see the same problem as with the real railroad: there are not many β€œfast lines” available πŸ˜… But I would be interested in the opinion of the community
  10. Any fresh news from BSBT? Too sad I didn't make it. πŸ˜₯
  11. Dam. So I have to buy this set πŸ™ˆπŸ˜… But of course. Amazing work! But for me, 8wide passenger cars are big enough. Which was the reason, why I skip the 10wide set. But, as Linkin Park said: β€žgive me reason to prove me wrongβ€œ. Well, you did!
  12. @zephyr1934: Totally agree! πŸ‘πŸ» @Darkkostas25: man, you did an awesome job! And thanks a lot for sharing on Bricklink! πŸ™πŸ» The Behemoth is my absolute favourite! I need to check the original, but I imagine M/MS-size wheels would fit better πŸ€” For motorization of cargo trains, I prefer the buggy motor
  13. That's right. I thought they were that easy. At least trans clear is available from other manufacturers. Thank you for sharing your solution! Edit: wow! The fictional loco looks also nice. Do you have pictures? Yeah that's also my experience and why I am planning now with these buggy motors for modern electric trains. But with other energy sources, especially regular hubs, the power woun't be enough, at lest for 2 motors.
  14. Absolutely amazaing! A real masterpiece! Especially the lighting! But wouldn't it be easier to cut trans clear/red flex cables than bars?? Did you ever test buggy motors?
  15. Please checkout my sets for sale on Willhaben!

  16. I think the same. FX bricks should focus on products who are β€žespeciallyβ€œ for 9V. Like the motor, metal wheelset or the 9v cables. For all other stuff, there are enough suppliers. They can sell bogies if they want. But let other produce them. Molds are expansive!
  17. Wow! Never thought I wold be thrilled by new lego window parts. πŸ‘πŸ»
  18. Thank you for your Feedback. So I think I will give them a try. PS: maybe a product idea for HA-Bricks?
  19. Thank you! As I can see, they are 3D Printed. Did you test the resilience / endurance? To be concrete: can they haul a long train or will they break?
  20. Maybe you find some inspiration here: Or here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-195451/copernicus508/dr-vt-137-type-stettin-8w/#details
  21. Thanks! Finally good news!
  22. Wow. That's indeed a huge difference! Nice done πŸ‘πŸ» I personally think, this size of loco needs the XXL wheels, but it still works with the XL
  23. Thank you for the feedback and the link to the GM loco! There are really some similarities. Thanks! Danke! That was the idea "This is the way (of MOCer)!" Thank you! Thanks! Yeah I don't know why it is so complicate to move the hoses. But maybe I have not enough patience for it Thank you all for yor feedback. This motivates me to do a little more (pictures follow asap).
  24. However, @michaelgale I would appreciate a performance similar to wheels with ball bearings. Perhaps you could adapt the mold of the wheel holders so that ball bearings could be "clipped in"? Just a thought.
  25. 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.
