    lego truly is a hobby shared through the generations. at that time i wasnt even born!

    and another new machine arrived at the workshop: a steam powered shaper. these where used before milling machines became the norm. they shaved off material by moving a slide back and forth over the workpiece. the moving slide on this one actually works (just felt the shop needed more movement) here is it fit into the shop: had to add some new pulleys and lineshafts to get power to the machine

    powerfunctions ones dont work because of the relatively high cg due to the battery box 9v ones should defo work

    safety wasnt a priority back then so i guess a lot of them. UPDATE: Finished the shop building. i made it look like it is someones shop who likes to use steam era tools to make stuff so the building looks a bit more modern than historically accurate. i even added an old sign. aside from finishing the building i now added a milling machine to the shop and removed the door. it just felt out of place and uneccessary. also the guy is now doing some lathe work since his steam engine is working turning something down to the correct diameter detailed view of the milling machine: i just based this off of the drillpress and beefed it up/added the stuff at the table because thats what a mill basically is: a drillpress on steroids!

    everyone is entitled to their opinion ofcorse! what i may find ugly others will find good looking thats just the way it works. i it just fit because the loco really drove home the 8-bit videogame look with its pixelated style.

    probably the reason for not putting the flex tubes on is studio which is a nightmare of its own with flex tubes and rigid hoses

    as weird as the original looks i think you captured it pretty well in your 8-bit retro style.funnily enough when i saw the model on flickr i immidiately thought gg-1. as much as i prefer german/european early electrics to whatever ugly creation the americans could come up with this one looks nice.

    here is the post @Paperinik77pk: hope you like this one!

    nope only digitally sadly. it has no motor so it would need to be pushed.

    Today i would like to present you a steam powered machine shop like they used to exist before electric power was widespread. It includes a powered up medium motor hidden in the side building and a train hub for powering the line shaft and making everything move. But without further talking here are the pics: as you can see it is still in the wip phase but you get the idea here is a view of the inside. you can see the powered up motor + hub in the small side building. there is a steam engine, its boiler, the line shafts to transmit the rotary power throughout the entire shop,a drill press, a workbench table complete with a benchvise and a lathe. i am planning to add more tools like a vertical mill and/or a shaper to it. a closeup of the steam engine: it features a moving piston rod and crank/flywheel, a flyweight governour and the various oilers necessary to keep the engine running. a closeup of the drillpress: it also has an oiler to oil the bottom bearing and it features an arrangement of belts (not shown here) to get the power to the head of the drillpress to get the drill spinnnign a closeup of the lathe: this one was inspired by nwbricks on rebrickable but was modified to work and look like a belt driven lathe with its two pulleys for selecting different speeds for turning various diameters and the obligatory oilers that these early bearings needed to keep running smoothly. the build was heavily inspired by Dave Richards from youtube who has built himself a workshop just like back in the steam era days complete with various steam powered metal working machines. Hope you like my model(s)!

    thank you!

    thanks for the compliment! make shure to have a look in the town forum. i am currently in the process of building a modular steam era metal workshop with a stationary engine and metal working tools from the era like a lathe, drill press and much more

    or you could also use a combination of lego battledroid arms in gray and 4L bars like this:

    download studio and look through the parts catalouge try searching for "bar" or "hinge"

    looks nice! welcome to eurobricks with your awesome introduction! Have fun here.

    Hello guys: today i would like to present you a small steam locomotive based on the ones used in industrial or logging settings in the early days of steam locomotives. it isnt based off of any real prototype, i just wanted to capture the look and feel of one of these locos. it features a moving piston that moves up and down as the locomotive moves. sadly it is not motorized as there was just no space to do so. Hope you like the model and happy new year to all of you!

    Happy new year!

    then it should totally be possible to do so! just need to implement all these functions into code and try it out.
  20. XG BC
    you need to know the protocoll that is used to communicate between the two hubs. then it should be possible
  21. XG BC
    kinda reminds me of the ones trix made back in the day

    Here you go:

    nice trucks and nice use of the traun cab piece

    the rumors are discussed over in the trains forum aswell
