In keeping with the Christmas season, I equipped the small Lego locomotive from set 40777 with a Circuit Cube motor and two small CR2032 batteries. My goal was to leave the appearance as unchanged as possible. I realize that the locomotive is not fully functional in this state, but it can, for example, drive in a circle around the Christmas tree.... left: Lego Set 40777 right: my modifications right side: Lego Set 40777 left side: my modifications I also made a short video explaining the conversion and showing the locomotive in action. Have fun and enjoy the Christmas season. Oh, Christmas is in danger... It wasn't intentional, really... Merry Christmas Thomas

For 6w, I think it's very well done, and I especially like the font. Anyone can make stickers... Thomas

Thanks to the mods for moving this, it fits better here. Thanks also to @mpj and @gyenesvi Thomas -
I also like 7w Trucks and have to say: it looks good. But there are also some custom parts, right? Parts that Lego doesn't offer in this color yet. Except for the rims, which you wrote were self-made. Thomas

Thanks! But I'm surprised that your technical implementation of a 4-axle vehicle of this size doesn't look completely different. Very good work, I hadn't noticed it before and I will of course take a look at how you implemented the steering. I'm always happy to learn something new ;-) I rotate a 4L axle (Magenta in the picture). This 4L axle has a lever of 2 studs to the first steering axle and a lever of 1 stud to the second steering axle. This creates the different turning angles of the wheels. Simple, but it works ;-) Thomas

yes ;-) https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/forums/topic/211415-moc-mini-42043-mercedes-arocs-in-145/ Yes, next time. I think, its better. Thomas
-
Thank You! Yes, that's my opinion too. Here at City, almost no one is interested in the Moc^^. Unfortunately, it shouldn't be that bad. Supposedly a Eurobricks rule, but it rather puts me off Eurobricks... My little 42043 Arocs, for example, has the same functions as the large Lego set, but it's completely lost here... Thomas

Ohh, Your photo really fooled me... ;-) Dark Red is a cool color, I like it! Thomas
-
Nicely clean constructed and recognizable! Is the color transition from light gray to red constructed with parts in coral? Thomas
-
I know, and I've already done that: I was more concerned about the less-than-ideal ready-made solution from TrixBrix. There could have been more to it... Thomas
-
Thank You! Fortunately, we're not building models here, so I can keep rebuilding things ;-) Sometimes more, sometimes less.... Thomas

And the next tractor unit has received an update, this time it's my old Scania with the Hand of God steering system... In front: the new version: shorter wheel base, improved steering rear: the older version from 2023 left side: the new one right side: old... in action: I created at YouTube a Video with the differences (in german, with english subtitles).... Enjoy... Thomas

Technically, I find the new hubs from Trixbrix really exciting and am curious to see what can be done with them. I don't think the application directly at the switch is very well designed: too high, too close to the track. This causes problems with long carriages. Thomas

[MOC] LEGO HŽPP Končar 6211-001 battery-electric multiple unit
Ts__ replied to Ashi Valkoinen's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I love these kinds of SNOT orgies... ;-) Anyone can just stack bricks, but this turns the whole thing into a work of art. I like your ambition not to work with stickers, and I'm excited to see at which event I'll get to see this multiple unit train. Thomas -
Thank You. That's the exciting question: where will the journey take us? The museum is closed for now, but I hope that at some point it will be possible to visit the E18-047 again somewhere. Thomas
-
Thank You. This is an older moc of mine and has been on the BSBT several times, but more like in 2020/2021.... The “Görlitz III light” bogie has a thin connecting rod between the axles, probably for the brake system. I wanted to represent this thin rod with the 1x11 string. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drehgestell_Bauart_Görlitz#/media/Datei:Drehgestell_Goerlitz_III_leicht.JPG Thomas

Yesterday was the last opening day of the Deutsche Bahn Museum's branch exhibition in Halle an der Saale, Germany. It was my last chance to photograph my 18-047 in front of its real-life counterpart. I had been planning to do this for a long time and finally got around to it. Thomas

Simple, but simply perfect. Beautiful color scheme and a great vehicle in just the right size. Thomas

I converted my first trailer to fit the short tractor 2.0. Together with my Scania, it looks like this: For the trailer, there are also instructions on ReBrickable in this version.... Enjoy Thomas
-
Cars in 5w are not easy to build, yet this is the right width for passenger cars in minifigure scale. I think your version is very good, even if it's not perfect yet. For example, I find the rear wheel arch still quite “uneven.” I'm still looking for ideas for such vehicles myself, as I need some for a future project. Thanks for sharing! Thomas
-
no. I use for every PU Train Motor a own PU City Hub in the locomotive ;-) More power and easy control. You can pair up to 5 PU City Hubs with a Lego PU remote control. With a PU train motor connected to each of these hubs, you can then control 5 PU train motors at the touch of a button. No app/programming required ;-) I used this feature with my SBB Re 10/10: a SBB Re 4/4 II and a SBB Re 6/6 working together: 5 PU Hubs, 5 PU Train motors, 1 PU Remote. Only Lego parts, no special electronics.... But this is your thread about your fantastic locomotive, I don't want to hijack the thread ;-) Thomas
-
My locomotive is rather simple in design compared to yours and not nearly as eye-catching ;-) SBB Re 6/6: I installed a Lego PU train motor in each of the three bogies. Thomas
-
This implementation looks fantastic, really well built! I also built a B-B-B locomotive, and the outer bogies are only rotatable, while the middle one is rotatable and side-shiftable. So far, I haven't noticed any problems with it at various exhibitions. However, we only run on R104 or larger tracks. I'm still curious to see what you come up with. Your ideas were already the basis for one of my MOCs ;-) (with credit...) Thomas

I gave my little RC Scania a major upgrade. It has been modified a few times over the years, and this fall I basically redesigned the interior technology: - The wheelbase is now one stud shorter: more in line with the original model - The steering is much more responsive: a worm gear has been added - Twin tires are now fitted at the rear: it simply looks better and corresponds to the model - I have installed a small Lego weight at the rear: more traction on the rear axle when no trailer is attached - The Cada micromotor in the steering has been replaced by a Circuit Cube motor: no more soldering required and cheaper to purchase The technology inside is now: - 1 Circuit Cube Bluetooth hub - 2x Circuit Cube motors for driving and steering I used 353 Lego pieces. No soldering, no sawing, no stickers -> just building ;-) The instructions on ReBrickable have also been revised. Anyone who had my old model as instructions also has access to the new version (update). I hope you like the redesign. For me, the new Scania is the tractor unit 2.0. I still want to make a video with the Scania. But there is a video of my MAN TGX on YouTube. I developed the new technology with these and then refined the Scania... Now the MAN needs an update ;-) Thomas

Looks really cool! The front looks fragile, but it holds everything together, and it even has lights. I like it! Thomas
