I do! ;)

Hahaha. Good. Maybe they'll learn a thing or two.

The grey looks great! Go for it.

Absolutely stunning design! Looking forward to seeing this in bricks. All the best.

I think that's the beauty of model railway! You can model your layout to any region on this planet. Same goes for building of locomotives. If you're a fan of it and you like it, go for it! I also think residents of that region would be extremely happy to come across a MOC of their local train. As for me, I have a personal connection to the locomotives and railway structures of my region (Singapore - Malaysia) hence the reason I only build trains within my region.

My thoughts exactly. Great looking locomotive and set but a huge disappointment to find out that it is not running on standard LEGO Track gauge. I've seen loads of beautifully done LEGO Hogwarts Express MOC that not only runs on LEGO tracks but is packed with all the tiny details and more. One such example from British Brick

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Phenomenal coach Sergio! Brilliant design all around.

Impressive model mate! I was hoping LEGO did something like this after the Crocodile Loco. Will support! :D

Looks better than the 2022 Train sets! Haha.

Infinitely better than all the previous versions! Good job mate.

Didn't expect much for this year's train sets. It was already heading in that direction since the 9V era. Wished LEGO would make train sets with a little more realism..

I've had this question on my mind too..

Hey! Sure no problem, go ahead. Am looking forward to seeing your Nohab Locomotive MOC. I'm such a big fan of any bulldog nose locomotives.

Now that's one heck of an introduction! Phenomenal steam locomotive packed with great details. One can only dream of LEGO adopting this loco! All the best.

Updates on my mini MR 20 Class. Even made a stand with mini narrow gauge tracks (2-studs wide) to make sure the mini model is also in scale haha. A little instructional video:

This thread has inspired me to make my own little 4-wide trains (a nice little display for the office table). Mini LEGO MR 20 and 24 Class: Gonna get a mini nose stripe for the MR 20 Class. These are based on my two larger lego train MOCs:

Very nice! Love the use of dark brown chairs to get that roundness of body.

I think the little wobble gives it a little charm! My 2-axle wagons tend to wobble a little too but for my case it was due to the ball bearings axle with uneven rods attachment. As for my locomotives, they don't wobble due to its massive weight that 'grounds' the loco. I'd say not to worry about it. The train runs well and the wobbling effect gives it character.

Never knew the bluetooth control could be interrupted by presence of many other bluetooth devices! I prefer the bluetooth option because I don't like having the IR receiver seen and the fact that I have to be real close to stop the train (a lot of close calls from falling off the table). Also, @Chromeknight fantastic table! I only have experience in PFx bricks and they work wonders especially for LEGO train enthusiasts. The only downside I could think of is the need for space within your trains - PFx Brick, PF battery box, XL-speaker, PF motors and take note of all the wirings. Might not seem like much but in my 20 Class video you can see how tight it gets even though the body is essentially a large rectangular box. Take note that there are specific ways to attach the wires (e.g. the speaker wire attaches to the top of the PFx brick whilst the lighting goes into a chip connected to the side of the PFx Brick. The PF related wires goes on the top (for motor) and bottom (for battery box) of the PFx brick. All these consideration makes it a little tricky to place the PFx Brick especially when PF wires are so 'stiff'. Aside from that, PFx brick is my go to. I was able to reverse engineer (using real loco clips and Audacity software) to make my own sound profile for my locomotive. A big plus over the other Bricks IMO. All the best!

Phenomenal coaches Sérgio! So many great techniques used for the roof (my fav), the doors, the colour shaping and even the bogies. I hope these coaches will be on flywheels because the locomotive is going to struggle! Looking forward to seeing this photo below in LEGO! !

WOW!!! Engine looks real mighty. Great job on all the tiny details as well as shaping. Can't wait to see it in bricks!

Thank you! Appreciate it. Really glad that so many LEGO enthusiasts enjoy this MOC.

WOW! The front shaping and techniques used are top-notch mate! Clever light-piping too.

Ahh, thank you so much! Yes, I still find it scary and mind-boggling that these actual locomotives are so wide and massive whilst tiptoeing on narrow gauge tracks. Hope it works out this time round! Ahh, that was one of my worries with smoke generators.. I guess I won't be doing that anytime soon.

Hey Sven! Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot coming from you. TheBrickArtist does sound nice but Craftsman sounds 'cooler'? Hehe. For the sounds, I did not mute the motor. As I made my engine sound profile using the Audacity software, I was able to increase the volume of each sound clip. On the PFx desktop app, I also increased the volume coming out of the XL-speakers. I went through a couple of rounds of trial and error to ensure that the sound was loud but not too loud that it causes the sound to 'crack'. Also, I have yet to run my locomotive at full speed because of the lack of space and tracks. All the best with your sound optimisation! Looking forward to seeing your locomotives puff and chug along with smoke and sounds!
