Electricsteam

These are amazing weird and wacky locomotives and I will put them under the correct headings Sava or Brickster to ic instead of an o thankyou Also , Help me find a weird and wacky locomotive for my profile picture Also I forgot to metion , please message me the imigur or the code so I can put the picture of the post

I dont think It would be safe to put tin foil on the track and power it with 9v becuase of fire risks and thats a plain idiotic idea... Word of advice stick with PF

I had links to even more unusual locomotives but when the harddrive went dead I lost the links , but I am slowly finding the pictures. Also It would be awesome if you guys found some unusual trains of your own , please post it here If you could see the wheel set up you would see why this one is so strange In lego terms those are 3 large train beds proped up on 6 sets of 0-6-0 large BBB drivers I think it would be better as a background model more than anything else but it would be awesome if it worked Only if we had a Lego mini motor

I love how in your videos the Christmas train always seems to survive the crashed

Ha ha ha I didnt think it was possible ...

Ha Ha Ha I like what you did with the passenger coach , It really got me when I first saw the picture but still amazing and I may do this also

Ok I did and its call Electricsteam's Bag of Ideas Link http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=76205

I love the MOC It reminds me of the Steam engine sitting behind the Science Museum of Virginia , I nice little fact the SMV used to be Richmonds main Train station and they have 2 coaches a Chessie caboose and a Chesapeake and Ohio (I think) Steam Locomotive. The engine is getting so rusted and wore out from no care it makes me cry Maybe you could do some reseach and make that your next Moc to sell

My main goal of this topic is to stir up ideas for new trains by posting pictures of crazy , unusual , and strange locomotives I have found on the Internet They will be devided into three categories , Steam , Electric / Diesel , and What where they thinking. This will be updated regularly and I will be ever grateful if you post some odd trains you found. The first category Steam! Here is an unusual camelback locomotive. Has been Built. Here is a very strange steam locomotive that I would say looks like steampunk Here is a nice chain drive steam locomotive which I love Here is a early steam locomotive I think I would love to see some one build that little piston Here is an early streamlined locomotive , link to artical. http://www.douglas-s...OCO/bec/bec.htm Here is a Virginian Triplex and it holds a special place in my heart. Cool act this engine used more steam that it could boil Link to artical . http://www.douglas-s...lex/triplex.htm Here is a Brotan Boiler Locomotive. The top boiler hold no water but steam! Now for the second category Electric / Diesel Here is a very unusual... I don't know what too call it I know this isnt very strange but I think its neat. I know you cant see the wheels in this picture but they are the size of large drivers in Lego scale and this one would scare me if I saw it comeing towards me Here is a very odd early electric locomotive. I wonder if some one can make that linkage! The third category What Where They Thinking! This is the steam horse aka Burtons Mechanical Traveler I would love to see some on build this Link to Wiki http://en.wikipedia....orse_locomotive http://www.douglas-s...OCO/hex/hex.htm Hexleplex locomotive , This is insane for them to think they could make this locomotive. No pic becuase it was to long.... Quote, Fear me earthling!. Here is a triple boiler locomotive link to artical. http://www.douglas-s...ripleboiler.htm Honestly what where they thinking when they made this! The Newest category Video Games and Misc This is the Outskirts stand from Pokemon XD and I would love to see this body o a loco turned into a full lego loco NOTE* If any of the pictures are too large just tell me and i'll fix it quickly.

This set is amazing :) and I heard about this set after watching a history channel special on the TGV :)

I have the the locomotive in well pecies in my boxes ... It really doesnt help when a 5 month old kitten knocks a firestation onto vertical boiler locimotive.... Correction I need to rebuild the entire thing Cant be too hard becuase I remember most of it

I love vertical boiler locomotives I made one on a 6x16 plate and 2 sets of small train wheels on a turntable . it was to small to have a coupler sadlly and I dont have any pictures to post

Very nice But one question why don't you use lego tracks?

I am Electricsteam and my story starts after finding lego starter trainset 111 in a thrift store it has some peceas to the set but not all of them so then I got one with all the parts. After a few years of only building freight trains they came out with the emerald night and I got hooked on steam trains. I rember turning the emerald night into a silly looking 2- 4 - 2 steam and after that I started making smaller steam locomotives say 2-4-0 and so on my 2 Favorite small steam locomotives I have seen on the fourms where 2 0-2-2 ocilating steam engines , one by Kyphur I belive and the other by The_Rip. I based my name off of the post that Locomotive Annie made about the electric steam locomotive . Well thats my story, whats yours

Can I make a post where I update reguarly with unusaly locomotive pictures to stir up some fantastic ideas for other members

Absolutley amazing I hope you get an even larger radius

I am absolutley in love with the vavle gear

I have some very nice Ideas for the clear wheels I was thinking to use the small wheels for a sci-fi train and some clear medium drivers for a Sci-Fi steam I also would love it if they came in clear blue
