This is an awesome moc! I love small loco's like this! Small size with a ton of detail

I know I seem to ask this yearly.... This is only because the website doesn't look like its updated for a long time...

He builds the loco on Gscale and are much larger..... It would be simple to stick with the same valve design..... Anywho....I hope to here some feedback from you lurking folks!

Yikes those have a larger footprint then the one above.... I think it'd be better to stick with the smaller piston for an LPL since the drivers don't need that big of a push

Wait new compact cylinders? The only ones I know of are the small ones that can barely push anything and the larger ones I use on this locomotive here. Also! I have seen his work before, they are quite nice but a bit too large for my liking

If I had the proper skills to form the tubes a bit it would only take up about 2x2 tunnels through it to the switches. I saw on an old LPE video that they heated the tube and bent it to keep it in X shape if I could learn how to do that I could shrink this thing down quite a bitEDIT! There is one tank inside of the build near the rear of the train

It's been about three year since I built the ESCO Behemoth and I think it's about time to start building a new pneumatic locomotive using the skills I have learned over the last few years along with the plethora of new bricks lego has given us. The behemoth was the second LPL (Lego pneumatic locomotive) I built, the first was a very rigid body 0-8-0 locomotive that I showed at the local LUG before it disbanded. Back then I did not see many examples of pneumatic locomotives that actually looked like a train, most were all Technic beams. So I decided it was time to make a realistic locomotive using the pneumatic pistons. Here is the first view of the LPL The big guy did function, he was a little slow but he got the job done, But looking back on it now I see I could make many improvements to the design, a major change would be to get the switch flipped around so there is very little exposed tubing of the system. Another major fix would be to "bend/set" the tubes to keep it compact inside and out. Overall on the next LPL I should be able to give it much more detail and form instead of a red brick on wheels. Another view but from the front. Here is a comparison shot to some of my early train builds. It is quite a big thing compared to the blue era as well as the Hogwartz Express. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the old thing as well as some harsh criticism! I need some tough love folks tell me what you think of the old thing! Honest opinions! I've seen a lot of new faces since this was built, I want to hear what you guys have to say! Here are some bonus clips of it in action from its skeleton to its full glory. (Volume)

Dread here is a photo it uses a different sort of rod design out of bricks not the beams ...

Sweet... Also epic lurking man o-o Anyways I'll put an order in in the morn thanks guys!

Those figures look awesome! Not as cool as some of the aliens that came with the Mars sets though !

Okay that's a good sign their blank email auto reply got me worried there for a moment. Maybe they should put an update up there or something? >-> I need to order some more medium and XL wheels for some trains I have in mind....

That drill predate cole's drill by quite a few years :p

I hate Emailing folks XD Anyways I'll email them I hope they aren't dead as a company I really like those wheels D:

I think that is what I was thinking when I made the thing, I'm not sure what I'll do with it now if I find where I put it

Just a quick question for all of you wonderfull folks! Is BBB still active I would love to purchase some more wheels, and I'm afraid if I place an order they'll never arrive.. That's about it! It just doesn't look that active of a site... BBB http://www.bigbenbricks.com/index.html

I got no love back in actionfigues and I can't find the post anymore so I'd thought you'd enjoy some steam punk Here is a steampunk mech I built , loosely based off of Biochock's Big Daddy I hope you enjoy!

Yay! Some Steampunk!

As we approach the anniversary of Lego trains lets take a minute to think about what got us into our first Lego locos! (Last I heard it was the 5th shows you how out of the loop I've been) The first set that got me into Lego trains was the beautiful Emerald Night, none of those earlier sets ever seemed appealing until I saw the large wheels on the E.N. From the day I got it I had it built and on a shelf before the sun set..... and then the next day I took it apart to make more train.... After that I watched a ton of Lego train videos on youtube majorly from Steigfeild and his awesome layout... Anyways I want to hear how you got into Lego Trains! Come on folks!

I've been trying to make a train with rods like that for ages.... I never could get non yellow crank shafts so I ended up making a "Heavy duty" train using medium BBB

Found a few old photos from a few dark ages in between some actual mocs I made.... I thought you'd like to see them! I think this was a remake of an earlier locomotive I built but with a larger front wheel base off of the one below... I'm not so sure about this one I think I was building it out of my grey box only hence the funky steampunkish shape.... I don't even know what I was thinking with this one.... Here is a few bonus images from way back when.... right at the start of the LPL I built http://i.imgur.com/sFYYLlR.webm http://i.imgur.com/XqIgVGJ.webm Anyways I hope you enjoy as I attempt to get back into building!

Nah I kinda like the open feel to it I do have a plan in mine to make it better I hope.... Current problems with this 5 year old mess would just be the blandness to it. It's a quite flat and boring design..... 1 color....... Yeah I need to think about how to rebuild it....

Hmmm I'm not sure but it was in my folders dating back to 2010... Hmmmm I already have a few ideas on how I can improve the design I think I'll get started soon.... I'm 80% sure I was basing it off the firetruck from the fire brigade set....

I found a few pictures of an old car I left younger me left.... Pretty blurry but I see the idea of what younger me is trying to do.... I guess I should try and rebuild it with what I know now... Yeah it's nothing special but I like the look of it....

I can credit him at least I don't think he's going to respond after 5 years of no activity.....

I saw this in theater way back when I can say this is an amazing model!
