awesome that you found footage of the real thing in action.

the 9v motor has to get a little warmer than the pf one in theory because the pf one draws current from its pickups too thus generating more resistive heat

thats true ofcourse! and much more powerful at over 800 hp... i ment mire terms of the heght relative to the lenght/ whith

oh sorry for making false claims then i just assumed it beeing bluetooth based that lego wouldnt go to the lenght of integrating multi device connectivity into it. i dont own powered up myself i just assumed it

true if you build based on the minifig rather than on the prototype proportions. i build in 6 w based on the prototypes proportions and if i would go 8wide my models would have to be longer it always depends on how lego thinks. i mean for city it doesnt matter but for creator expert it would

it is powered up we are talking about youbare thinking of the older powerfunctions wherethat was possible now it is 1 hub output = 1 motor/light and you also cant set two hubs to the same channel as they are bluetooth. but the poster has solved this already for him as i just saw in the doctor brick forum so my post was redundant

powered up doesnt allow the stacking of connectors like 9v/pf did so youd have to do this in software with the app or another solution would be to build a dummy motor with some technic bricks an a boogie plate

its appearance actually makes it look quite nice to me it kinda looks like someone had taken my/ @Paperinik77pks e69 and stretched it a little! it is just not something you see every day

i have an idea: why not make your köf around an inner metal frame so you could make it pull a wagon with you on it on 5" track kinda like this: just came intoy head as you are getting close to that scale.

this is some flexing right there! in all seriousness though it is just a really good real model and the mods that you made make it even better!

if i where to nitpick here the other non lego parts are the cirquitcube components. in all seriousness though great model with an awesome mechanism inside!

its ok dont worry! i think i also cant use panels for the steps as they would be too big. maybe i will post my scale in my profile description as to not confuse people. i may try 8 wide just for this submission though but i am not good at building in 8 wide i have tried it just doesnt work right.

dont worry! i always apreciate constructive critisism! you are right on the windows! i just noticed that thanks will correct it. as for going 8 wide i really dont want to as i am a 6 to 7 wide builder 8 wide just doesnt fit my building style very well. in terms of sloping it idk if it makes sense from am angles perspective to be honest i will try it out tomorrow though if i find the time. thanks for the advice!

just noticed that yellow aswell yes this does look like an smd led

can only second this the amount of stuff you where able to fit in this one is insane!

beauty is only in the eye of the viewer anyways hence why something like the fiat multipla exists

i have sent in my model anyways now so there is no going back now (except if i delete the post on flickr but no)

do you mean the droid arms? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=30377&name=Arm Mechanical, Battle Droid&category=[Minifigure, Body Part]#T=S&C=2&O={"color":2,"iconly":0} here you go!

true they are now. however i doubt lego is going to bring us any new features they just care to little about city trains

this one is perfect! it just has something the other köfs online lacked idk how to describe it the proportions are just perfect

thanks for the compliment from the master of lego trains! thank you! yea our paths cross pretty often probably because we like building the same things. thank you!

i have now completed the topic with all the pics

yea thats a good point. ofcourse lego should make all their parts the same color. in person with my models i have never noticed it too much but it is a bit anoying when you are going for the out of factory look.

Hello guys, this is a kinda last minute octraintober submission: a beurer "rangiertraktor" first off all, a little bit of backstory to the prototype: these where small shunting vehicles built by the Maschinen- und Armaturenfabrik vorm. H. Breuer & Co and where later licenced to be produced by many companys. they where used to carry around single or small groups of wagons with weights of up to 80-500 tons. the first iteration the type I had a completely open construction and a whopping 10 HP (no this is not a typo) here is a sketching of one: the type II had 28 HP. sadly i havent found a sketching or picture of this one the type III had a real cockpit for the operator to stand on and operate the machine. it looked like this and had 40HP: the type IV and V looked basically identical except that the type V had 80 HP without further ado here are the pics: there isnt much of a wip story here as the construction of the model only took me like 20 minutes. the renders took the same time as building the model the second one shows how the wagons attached to the thing. they where raised by this pin that sticks up and the weight of the wagons rested on the tractor thus giving it huge ammounts of traction to pull up to 500 tons edot: changed the position of the windows. made two renders the one where it shows how the wagons attach where made quick and dirty with pov-ray. here is the second render: hope you like this last minute submission! here is the link to the studio file for anyone to build and have fun with! https://www.dropbox.com/s/7scoqnohh0qszog/rangiertraktor v2.io?dl=0# edit: now i have an update for you guys. what is better than a small lego train model? a motorized lego train model! this uses a modified cheap "tower pro sg90" servo as its motor. the servo has been modified in such a way that it basically works like a normal brushed dc motor. i have removed the servo control board and the stops preventing the servo from rotating more than 180 degree. there are several tutorials available online on how to do this. the second modification the servo got was removing the mounting points of it at the top to make it smaller. the servo fits into the model like this: the drivetrain consists of a small white lego rubber band which drives one of the trainwheels directly (no need for gearing down as the servo has internal gearing already which is sufficient). the second pulley is one of the servos attachments just with the arms cutoff and made flush with the rest of the center hub). here is the whole thing complete with the drivers cab: i changed some of the details due to my parts library and space constraints with the taller base but overall it is the same model just different colors (it is a very old unit so a bit of rust is also present ). the drivers cab just fits loosley onto the model as the servo doesnt really fit into the lego geometry height wise and i didnt want to make the model any taller so thats how it is. it fits quite snugly though so no problem there. and finally there is a video so you guys can see it running: https://www.flickr.com/photos/145736297@N05/52187870612/in/dateposted-public/ hope you like this upgrade and as always the models files can be found in the link in my signature for anyone wishing to recreate this little model.

yea true kinda though i surprisingly even as a german dont like these types of lanuages for coding (i hate python for that very reason no semicolons just drives me nuts) the game you suggested sounds interesting i may try it out in the future
