    You are absolutely right. And yup, as Tube Map shared, THAT'S a station I would buy! But to be honest, the last stations were also "OK". For example 7997 or 60050. But the new one is, ahm, ugly.

    OK, good to see, that some of you like the passenger train. Hopefully this will LEGO motivate to keep the good things. My personal oppinion: Freight train Brick built cockpit "fresh" design realistic details low-floor platform trailer For me, the freight train is the favourite. I like the design, because it reminds me of a Siemens Taurus. Yes the windscreen is crap. Here I personal would prefer the solution like many other MOCs have done it. For example. But I think TLG had this as inspiration for the front So for me the front screen is the only bad thing on the freight train. And I only say this, because I ignore the trailers. The only trailer, that I like is low-floor platform trailer. Passenger train We finally don't have a molded part cockpit anymore We finally have doors and we finally have low-floor platforms again But then how the heck can you design such a wasabi green monstrosity!!!! 😱🤢 I hope in Asia and for all who love Shinkansen like trains, this set goes well. But for me, even the original 4560 looks better! Even if it had no doors! I will definitely look for MOCs which will create the front more like the 4560 or the 10233 Horizon Express. At least, finally new trains.

    Thank you all for the very positve feedback! OMG. My topic was on the Eurobricks frontpage! THANK YOU! @Toastie: it almost took me over 2 years to finish it. You can see it on the history trials, this really was my first - more serious - try for a train MOC/MOD after the dark ages. So thank you for the flowers. @zephyr1934: thank you for your comments. I edited my topic and I hope it is now easier to see the main theme.

    Dear all, to make it clar, that's not a MOD. THAT'S a MOD. For all of you who want to skip the story of this "Mod" (if you can call it still a Mod), there it goes on >>>. >>> Below are the results of my first serious try of a train MOC. Lower Deck Inside (on the left side a toilett, according to the TGV Duplex). The Bistro inside: Just for history, some older design trials: Thanks for all the inspiration, instructions and also help from you master builders. I hope to have delivered a worthy (more or less 1st) MOC here. I look forward to your feedback and have deliberately first presented the digital design before I build it in real, in the hope of constructive feedback 😊

    I fully agree. I never thought that it would be that simple! I hope Lego will pick up the idea for future sets. We need more RC sets! And you showed the world how easy it could be. Congrats! PS: know I want an RC Batbike

    Just updating, because there is now a "ready to buy" solution from China

    Did you ever finish this modell?

    It is sad that this project is dead. For all who are looking at alternates or reading about the Kadee couplers: There they are.

    You first create a good crocodil, now Lego brings the 10277 crocodil. Can someone tell LEGO we want THIS BR 194 as rebrickable model of the 10277?
  10. Pelzer117
    oooooh. Never saw it before. The model itself is very accurate to the original. But the Silberlinge looks still strange for me.
  11. Pelzer117
    Which rod length do you use on the top? By the way, for this trains I would prefer a train buffer beam with a plow. I know the have no plow in real, but the lego version looks more like the original on the european trains.
  12. Pelzer117
    Hello Holger, as usual, amazing work! The colour scheme of the "Silberlinge" doesn't fit in my opinion. If the grey parts would be beige too, it may look better. But maybe this is because I have only the picture of the ÖBB 5145 in mind?.. To compare: Best Regards from Austria Patrick
  13. Pelzer117
    Wow... absolute realistic. Well done! ?? This are the trains, where I know why I prefere LEGO instead of H0 trains.
  14. Pelzer117
    Thank you for the video! I think it is until now the most famous europe train MOC. It was ultimately the reason for buying your book (again). This may be not your Intention, but did you thought about to bring this awesome MOC to Lego ideas?
  15. Pelzer117
    Just tried one out. Works fine. So if LEGO won‘t do it, there is definetly a market for it.
  16. Pelzer117
    I fully agree. First thought was "nice model". Second thought as I saw the price, is not friendly to tell But what should I say.. I once paid as teenager 1.000$ for ONE Santa Fa passenger car one amazon...
  17. Pelzer117
    Not bad. Do you still plan to build it? So this would maybe be a good inspiration too: https://www.brickmania.com/s160-locomotive-us-army-transportation-corps/

    Hello everyone, I am searching for a MOC of an ÖBB 1040 (or similar) Electric locomotive. This swedish RC6 has some similar design: https://brickmodelrailroader.com/index.php/2018/02/28/electrifying-european-locomotives/ Does anybody know such MOC from the ÖBB loco?

    I tooked now again some time for this (never ending?) project. I am still not satisfied with the chassis, but I think I am on a good way now. I absolute do not want to make the tram wider then 6w. Its a tram, and they should not be bigger then a train. So the chassis has to be smaller, to look more like the original. Also in reality the tram tracks are smaller then train tracks, so the best way may be to go on a 4wide chassis, which is.. very difficult if you want to motorize it also. The best wheels for this, should be the small train wheels from LOWA (thank you for the wheels!). I took a closer look on them, the "drive feeling" is good enough, but it is still tricky to do not waste space, and let the chassis be as slim as possible At the moment I have THIS as start point.. If anyone has suggestions or also experience with such small chassis, please don't hesitate to comment. compared to the original, it is still too high for me

    Hello Holger, first of all.. wow. Never seen such a perfect LEGO version of the TEE. I personally would prefer the light bluish grey. If you want to look more realistic according to the exhausts dust, then you should try to combine it and create transitions from light to dark grey. However, as exptected, a wonderful train MOC My father was also really excited, the TEE was one of his first Märklin H0 trains
  21. Pelzer117
    Are the wheels still in development? They would be exactly that what we are looking for our tramway!!!
  22. Pelzer117
    Interesting but very difficult. I tested the small wheels on a bar (laser sword) and it will need glue for better friction, as you said. It still is an option but I think you will loose a lot of the power between motor then. Maybe it will be easier to drill the wheels for fitting on a technic axle.
  23. Pelzer117
    Thank you! I wil check it out. Need to reserve time. Depends on work/familiy. Whoa... I can't afford so much (even because of my budget). Just bought the Ring Tram first and try now to re design it. Step by step.
  24. Pelzer117
    "Da wär ich dabei!" (I am in) But as Nick said, the small wheels are not perfect for smooth drive. We would need wheels between the small and normal ones. If you tell me where to find. My printer is only for A4

    Hello Lazertron, another LEGO fan from Linz with the Vienna Tram. We should start a suppurt group (Selbsthilfegruppe). But just to be serious, I can share with you my Mecabricks Modell and maybe we will find a good solution for us all? Currently I am working on a new motor concept for the tramway. And I am freaking out. Inspired by the solution of ScotNick for his 4041 I start working, unitl I realize that the "small train wheels" are not made for the technix axle (red on picture). It HAVE TO BE so small when you look at the pictures from the original E1. But I am afraid that there are no better LEGO wheels - so I can't use a motor (the "Der Klassiker" solution with motor looks ugly). Any suggestions?
