THERIZE

Heloo, im a person from the Netherlands as you can see at the title. My whole life is about LEGO, MINECRAFT, trains and mcdonalds:). I'm mostly into trains and cars from LEGO and maybe a few buildings or planes and ships. Not more else to say. Feel free to ask for more questions and please don't correct me on my English.

Already looks wonderful! Can't wait to see it finished!

The rocket, Ram TEE(my favorite train together with the ALCO PA), Mallard, Flying scotsman, city of truro, and one that is not famous: ALCO PA

At least one thing is the same. They are both noisy but very wonderful!

This was why I actually made an account. Respect for you and your RF-16! I wished i had the skills to make it! Its the Mona Lisa of the lego trains!

Your building a fyra traxx? try some fyra logo stickers on the side and maybe some coaches and your done! I can already seeing it pulling a V250:) sad that they are send away. I bet your model will be wonderful when it's finished!

I dont't understand why people always modify this set. For me it is just wonderful. But your design is great!

Edit: i tested it. Apparently it actually works.

New pictures at my flickr! Old link still works.

I know it did not have jacobs bogies and dome cars but building trains is like art. You can't always have it normal. The best things are the most creative ones:)

i honestly don't know. its just that kinda weird dome on the roof of a train. i know the intercity 15 never had one but they also never had dome cars but it just has a luxurious feeling.

i think he meant who made the LEGO model.

Beautiful but i don't think it will be able to drive trough normal curves. I tested it a few years ago and four fixed axles cant drive trough corners.

I also thought that. But this type of locomotive is around the whole world.

Ofcourse not! But its all about the looks. Being creative, thats Lego!

I love your design for Bil/Ben but the model looks 'tall'. Just because their real life counterparts are twice as small as a normal steam locomotive.

I love your train. But one thing, doesn't it derail when you go trough corners to fast?

is that rescue train a 'cargosprinter'? I believe the Swiss railways have one for rescue when a train is on fire while in a tunnel.

@epic technic, that would be fun!

I'm building a passenger train based of the British Rail Class 43. its basically 2 coaches with a shared bogie (Jacobs bogie) in the middle. simple design but with yellow stripes on the side and yellow front. I'm not sure if i should make more coaches due to the lack of train wheels. i could buy glass for a Dome car but im not sure if a shared bogie would easily fit under a base plate with a depressed section because the bogie would be to short to use all space under the base plate. im realy not sure what i could add except for the roof (im working on it) and seating. pictures will be posted later because i get an error with 'upload skipped (this file was too big to upload)'
