    I rememeber it - it was inside a RailBricks magazine - maybe I've the .pdf somewhere - I'll check it! :)

    Great! Yesterday it took me took awhile to get (maybe) all details Keep up the nice work!!!

    Thanks! Probably it could also fit some interiors, if using a smaller battery - but I did not try it , sincerely! Thank you very much! This part would be fantastic! I did not thought about it...it is also a great idea for headlights on bigger models!!! Thanks!!! Thanks! I did not try to build this model, but I use the little 9v Micromotor from some time and in a similar model (a "Swiss" mini-locomotive) it works fine! If you look at it you can see the chassis of the steam railmotor is pretty the same. I think the railmotor will have more traction than this little red thing. It is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW ,but it can pull easily the standard 9v battery box (not the one in the photo...too big and heavy) inside a small wagon.

    Hi all, after a quite long absence from the forum, I'd lilke to show you this small MOC I just prepared. It should have been a model for the Octrainber, but since I've no time to prepare the whole diorama, I'll show you only the little railcar. The Egger-Bahn is a model line created in the 60s, based mainly on fictional freelance rolling stock (even if some models were inspired by real prototypes). These models were in 1:87 scale, running on H0e track - therefore simulating a narrow gauge system. One of the main models was the articulated steam railcar you can see in this picture taken from internet. The lillte railcar is articulated and composed by a steam motor and an half-passenger wagon. It is a very nice model and I've always liked it! Since I'm working a lot on big scales, I wanted to do something different, so I got back to 6-wide on 4-wide track: It's super-deformed as my other small locomotives I made , and it's based on the 9V red MicroMotor. It can run on black Lego narrow-gauge track and on LEMAX Christmas Train track - which is perfect for small Lego models (and features straights and larger curves). Here below you can see the different components, like the MicroMotor, the rear bogie, and body parts (motor and trailer). And here's a detail of the motor and passenger trailer. As you can see, the 9v MicroMotor is mounted upside-down, and moves the rear wheels of the steam motor. The power comes from a 9v battery box, but I succeded to run the Micromotor on small 12v batteries. Some home made electronics may save space! The batteries should be placed near the trailer link, therefore their weight - insisting on the only driven axle - can improve traction. I hope you like it! Ciao! Davide

    Amazing creation, and good revision with PF motors! Bogies are very nice and show a great work.

    Spectacular locomotive! The older, brown version is awesome! Thumbs up!!!

    Hi there!!! Great station!!! It keeps the real 12v feeling!!!
  10. Paperinik77pk
    A work of art... it seems real!!! I love it, sincerely! Ciao! Davide

    This is a great creation, and the mix of L-gauge track and "garden railway" is amazing! 1:24 and 1:25 are perfect scales for metric gauge models on standard L-gauge track. Goooooooooooooooooood job!!! Davide
  12. Paperinik77pk
    Very cute little locomotive! I love the magnifying glass for front windows and the coupling chain!
  13. Paperinik77pk
    I really love the narrow gauge track you implemented - and this locomotive is a very nice exercise of style and functionality. The 3d printed wheels are cute!!! Thumbs up!!! Davide
  14. Paperinik77pk
    Well, this is a real beauty!!! It's an amazing creation, plus it's powered in the correct way!!! I cannot imagine how work you put on making all needed pneumatic parts inside this beast - flywheel position is pure genius! And that whistle!!! A zillion of thumbs up!!! Ciao! Davide

    Thank you! I've to say that your big locomotive was a true inspiration for this one! The panels are literally copied from a lot of Technic cars I saw around on YT and internet. Plus, the boxy shape makes everything easier The full-Technic locomotive is something I've in mind from a lot of time, but I really am a newbie with new Technic style. I agree with you - Liftarms are still assembled in stud mode, since it was easier to cover long parts of the locomotive, and give a bit of rigidity to the chassis and body. There's a reeeeeal wide margin for improvement, even with contamination between different Lego worlds. Ciao! Davide

    Thank you!!! Thanks!!! I feel that Technic will become more and more part of the train world in the future - we already have axles, gears...different solution for motorizing our MOCs or simply parts of them (like opening doors / tilting mechanisms and so on) - invasion is imminent! Thanks Emanuele!!! It is a bit "Swiss" due to that dark gray and that strong red! It remembers me the Bernina Bahn and Furka Oberalp colour scheme Thanks! It is one thing I am experimenting since the introduction of the flex track - it works fine with BBB medium wheels . I think it'll work also with XL ones. I do not have that specific central gear, but I ordered it to make some tests. I could think also to reduce the wheels diameter for the cog version.

    Well, at least its "fuel" will last for almost 150 years Great MOC! I like the colors, the futuristic shape...the side tubes remember me a lot the "Alien" biomechanical creatures of H.R. Giger! Thumbs up!!! Davide

    Hi all, these days I'm working a lot with Lego Technic, since I've bought some parts to experiment a bit this new world. I'm used to build old Lego Technic from the 80's and 90's...but these new sets are very very complex, and require a lot of time to figure out where and how to put a certain part. So , back to the Stud.io I started designing again...and came out with this thing: It's similar to old steam trams, to the GE 2/2 and HGE 2/2 locomotives, to some service railway cars...to the alternate 7720 model. Oh, well...it's a box and it's similar to all those boxy things! Dimensions are 13/14 stu...holes, units? for width and 25 for body lenght. Both buffers add an additional 6 studs to overall lenght. I'd say it is a small 1:22,5 locomotive, like my old yellow shunter with PuP. Since I'm still not so much able to recreate details such as doors and ladders...I simply avoided them. Pantograph is designed to use a rubber band for the moment - it could be nice to make it foldable with some gears! At least the body is self-consistent and can easily be removed. The battery is fixed on the central upper part of the body, right in the middle to increase weight on all 4 traction wheels. Rods are somewhat triangular and quite strange, but they're strong! Other kinds of rod arrangements can be done. Using a normal gear transmission could also avoid rods at all. The boxy body gives me the internal space to experiment for transmissions and motors. This chassis probably will change a zillion of times like the one of my XXL locomotives. In the picture above, you can see the possibility to have the double gauge solution (left axle is L-Gauge and right axle is configured for 45mm G-Gauge track). The gear you can see in the middle of left axle shows the possibility to implement a cog railway system using Lego flexible track. I sincerely do not know if the 45mm cog tracks could work with a Lego gear - so let's limit the cog solution to original Lego track It can become also a fancy Tram locomotive, like the "Gamba De Legn" ("Wooden Leg") used in Milan for many, many years. But for this one - I'm still struggling to create a proper, working engine. I've seen few full Technic locomotives, but it's really fun to build them! I hope you like it!!! Ciao, Davide

    That tent on the Trabi is something spectacular!!! Your whole "Trabant" series is awesome, and this car really deserves an official Lego model (near the Fiat 500, the Mini, and the Beetle), both in small and big scale!
  20. Paperinik77pk
    As beautiful as the original one!!! Great proportions, and the pyramidal roof is spectacular! Those old 2x1x1 old windows are perfect!
  21. Paperinik77pk
    Beautiful building with very nice details!!! That balcony has a very rounded shape that you depicted in a fantastic way. The roof is great...it gives the right idea of something being subject to natural elements.
  22. Paperinik77pk
    Hohooooo - first page again!!! Great Emanuele!
  23. Paperinik77pk
    Great great great!!! Lots of details, very realistic, and the cat/mice addon is a masterpiece! I love it!!! Ciao! Davide

    Thanks Emanuele!!! I've some updates: I tried the big wheels on PF track - they work fine until they reach a switch...then they got stuck or derail The problem is the following: they hit the point where the curving rail has little gap and get stuck. At high speed this transforms in a derailment. It seems the problem is due to the smoothness of the printed wheels. Lego wheels edges are smoothened, while the printed ones have pretty sharp edges. Plus, the original Lego wheels are kept in place better than mine, which have a bit of lateral wobbling (they should be 0.2 millimeter wider - probably this is due to printing tolerance). Back to work!!! Ciao! Davide

    You opened a world I did not consider - till now! I could try: 1) A simple version without bearings: a Technic brick with hole, a wheel with a 2mm semi-axle included to be inserted in an half pin. Not so much friction-friendly, but better than using old parts. 2) Wheels with a Technic axle hole (half bush deep), a 5-long axle, and Technic bricks (this would also allow traction) 3) Your solution + some things seen on RailBricks: MR52zz bearings in a Technic brick, a 2mm steel axle (I've to find it somewhere), wheels with 1.9mm hole, so the steel bart remains locked inside the wheel. It could work!!! Well... it seems I've a lot to do!!!
