    Oh this looks nice. Love that boxy shape. Great little engine for shunting or else. Fun one to put under power.

    Wow I have never seen an locomotive like this. Totally odd design and I understand you found this attractive to build. Great work on this. Your undercarriages also look very interesting. I see some nice stuff in that with those couplers and letting those front and back ends just flow freely.

    Like how you approached this, I am sadly not really up to date on Thomas and friends but I am liking all the versions you are developing all with the different coaches. I like how you did the pistons with all regular parts (i imagine, and not custom parts). I do wonder a little bit if the boiler should not be bigger? or wider? I am not an expert on trains so maybe I am wrong.

    Nice, looks good. Like the little roof you made over the platform and good use of the lantarns.

    As mentioned i would indeed use different colour axles, maybe already move towards a magnet at the front to allow it to also pull loads that way? Maybe think about decals, like that flying scotsman text. I know it will be stickers with BDP but it could elevate the model a bit. LCR on the tender would work for me. For the coach I would maybe opt for red and tan? You already got red in the locomotive. I would avoid green, but let the red come back in the base of the wagon and then a tan top. Maybe gives us tan windows again for cheap ;)

    Very nice landscaping. Those hills are a very nice touch using these brick types. Smart idea.

    That telephone box is indeed a great touch, put its right in a scene were you guess rural England.

    Great looking wagons again. The hopper really looks nice, but so does the open freight wagon. Electric poles and cable spools would be good additions for it.

    I love this, I just scrolled through but some usefull stuff in there. That train motor inside the train to power axles of your own design is interesting. I'm gonna enjoy this.

    Thanks, i got them locally: https://www.brick-print.nl/ I am unaware if they ship globally, unless your Dutch ofcourse :D, but the communication is nice, with follow up questions and they give an indication of shipping depending on their availability.

    Thanks, happy for this little investment makes it looks a little bit more.

    Little update, since I ordered printed bricks for my diesel locomotive I figured I might as well order something this wagon. Not really realistic, but with a little lego twist.
  13. LL1982
    already looks pretty good. nice to see that movie to understand what they do.
  14. LL1982
    Thank you both. Since I cannot print stickers myself I figured I might as well spend a bit more.

    Great to see so many versions. Good improvement from the first more classic lego like version to now.
  16. LL1982
    Wow impressive work and love those slopes and little details. It looks really great, just watched the movie.

    Printed bricks and last parts for the boogies came in just before the heatwave struck so I had some time today to update the locomotive. Did some test drives with the new boogies and they hold well. Indeed the 5L axle did not work well at the motor as Thomas predicted, not enough hold. Again thanks for all the feedback, much appreciated, it helped me a lot. More shots/movies on IG and flickr.
  18. LL1982
    Thanks Thomas, yeah the new version is thanks to feedback indeed better. Ok will check with the axles. Trimming 34yr old lego pieces feels like heresy 🤣 but it is an option. My printed bricks are in the mail also so I hope to soon post an update with full set of boogies and those.
  19. LL1982
    I prefer my classic figures with a classic head, but I can see if my daughter has one of the modern faces that i can swap it out with for you ;) Thanks, hope the 5L axle improves it even a bit more by reducing width again by a couple of mm.
  20. LL1982
    Thank you all. I also learned we now have 5L axles, so ordered some of those that would help the boogies fall even more under the main body. Parts are ordered to make two complete boogies. And it gives more space in the area between the boogies to put some details in.

    Thanks, the hose may be an idea indeed, but I think I found a solution, will upload photos. The ingots are a test that worked out. The official grills looked wrong to me and at the hub I cannot fully cover it as they do not make 3 or 4 high brackets. The 1x1 window is a small window which is in one of the two access doors. There is one on the side, with the 1x1 window. The second door is opposite diagonally and gives access to the side board of the train on the left side of the train. Inside are two chairs, one for forward driving on the right, one for backwards driving on the left, if I am correct. Thank you for all the input, really helpful and it got my mind working on different solutions. Concerning the boogies (or trucks) I found a possible solution in using some old skool flag poles (no clue how you call them, I used them on the pirate flags) and some bits and pieces I had lying around from the hobby train. I did not have enough parts for two boogies, but I got a concept down. Need to do a driving test to see how it responds, but it feels solid. It looks better compared to my previous version, at least to me. @idlemarvel @Selander @Ts__ thanks for the feedback there. @Ts__ mentioned the black headlights being to high which i agree on so i found a relative quick fix, though i need to order a new bracket piece that still allows lights in the headlights but putting it lower.

    I know, I am trying to use up a big part of a room at home. But those big curves take so much space. That I am still at r56 max. It is that I need the floor space for all my part bins and I have the track on the table but it feels more efficient to simply have it on the floor just like in the 80s 🤣
  23. LL1982
    It looks wide enough maybe he tested it and the skirting stays outside the rails though track ballast may be an issue then? Based on the look this feels more like a monorail type of train. Or maybe on that rollercoaster track. I love classic space so it is a set I will keep my eye on. But part wise it's gonna cost a fair penny.
  24. LL1982
    Thanks for the honest feedback. I have to say the black never caught my eye, but now I cannot unsee it 😂. I already have an idea to move that back further down.
  25. LL1982
    Thanks. I will give it a try tonight and try to post a wip if I achieve something. Thanks
