    I have had the pleasure of being a passenger on trains run at all 3 of the above. Sadly Lady McAlpine may not put on another public opening day due to her age/health. She was in very good spirits at the one last year though, so we will see. Very sad that The Beeches Light Railway was dismantled following Adrian's death. Although the Darjeeling Himalayan tank engine, 19B, survives and is currently being overhauled at the workshops of Statfold Barn.

    Same! Can't wait! Although I actually have to wait, because it was such an expense I have to save it until Christmas, then not build it, so it can be re wrapped for my birthday next year also! I'm not kidding. I wish I was. Luckily my birthday is not too far from Christmas!

    Looks like we'll be getting this in dark red in the new Cruella de Vil car set number 43277. https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/cruella-de-vil-s-car-43277 Still not showing as an available colour on Bricklink, but I expect that will change as the stock appears in inventories and folks break down the sets. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=13760#T=C Hopefully these will appear on pick a brick. Not perfect for a modern Santa Fe, but better than nothing I guess!

    I have submitted this to Rebrickable with instructions for free. Pending approval, I'll update here when/if it is approved. CSX Caboose on Rebrickable

    @Ashy I knocked this together this evening: CSX Caboose MOC Let me know if you want the Studio file for it. It is based on a 28 baseplate, not a 24, as I wanted to do a couple things with it, like the removeable cupola roof and working end doors.

    I voted for this already! Yours was, for me, one of the clear stand out entries in this series. We all want Lego to reproduce the Santa Fe, but that's not going to happen. Working with the parts available, you have produced this masterpiece! Very impressive. I sincerely hope this makes the cut as I will for certain, even though I can't afford it, purchase a copy.

    I sought out everything Train or Tram related and voted for them! Well, almost all of them.

    That was part of my reasoning for getting this one. If there aren't any decent train related sets coming up, I'd better prepare for the drought! But seriously, can't wait to see what the Arctic train turns out to be.

    Great news, but also sad that they might have to go on the back burner for a while. Just out of curiosity, what are the expensive parts you need for these?

    Here you go: https://imgur.com/a/SxjAl9q The motor is held in only by the axle connection to the 12t gear. It is an axle with stop which connects into a Technic brick on the other side of the gear. Otherwise it is not mounted solidly, just by technic half pins which fit snug with the panels next to them. Drivetrain is pretty bulletproof, as it has to be with a geared transmission like this. The kids will just hit stop with a full load behind it!

    Alright! Something I have experience of! I originally had two Large Power Functions motors mounted in the boiler of my dark azure Emerald Night clone. However, that required a battery box in the tender, something I wanted to eliminate. So I redesigned the boiler to house a Powered Up battery box and a PU large motor. The rear top section of the boiler and cab roof is now one piece and lifts off too power the loco on and off or change the batteries. This solution makes the loco a lot more fragile though. I'm at work now but I'll try and remember to take some pictures later on.

    This is great! I always wanted to build this train in Lego. Too many projects ahead in the queue though. I can't quite place the slopes used on the top of the plough at the sides though. Are they a new part, or am I just being forgetful? I haven't watched the film for some time but did research this very locomotive a little while ago. The scene was filmed on the Nene Valley Railway which is not far from me. The actual locomotive used in filming, BR Class 20 D8188 (20188) is now far further from me however, on the Watercress line, near Southampton. I don't think I'll ever get that far to see it!

    Wonderful! I can imagine the wok crew pulling up in the speeder train and the relief shift arriving on the pump cart. I'm also kicking myself that I didn't think of that coupling solution! It is brilliant. I have swapped mine back to the standard fixed axles and set up your drawbar solution. It works a treat!
  14. Toxic43
    Coupling system issues solved! Nice. I bought these instructions a while back but haven't been able to use then on the layout with the Speeder because of the coupling system. I have tried articulating the axles on one end, but it raises the height by a plate and ruins the aesthetic. Changing the coupler to a receiver on both sides and using a double ball end is inspired! I'm going to change the couplings on mine to the same, then I'll be able to actually use it on the layout!

    Agreed, I can live with my passenger locos having a single motor at each end if I get to have lights on both ends as well. For my freight locos, I'm not so fussed about lights, but two motors are a must here.
