Yes, it is my work. Regarding stability etc, I never do digital projects without making them first in real life, so zeppelin was build and "tested" during 2 exhibitions - it survived without any issues. Can be transported, lifted, moved, carried without any problem. However, indeed it is not small - 85cm long :)

Aviation days: balloon

Thank you :) -

Hello, this is my break from train production :) Balloon was created few years ago and rebuilt last months to join BDP7 program. It is a mix of system and technic, inside 80% of construction is made of axles, connectors and technic bricks. Apparently it is quite stable and solid, thanks to hinges that keep construction close and reliable. Original palette of colors contained red & dark azure, but they had to be removed due to BDP7 rules of limited number of bricks. Anyway, I'm quite happy how it turned out. Balloon can be safely placed on a desk - it will not fall over easily. Or it can hang on a string :) Enjoy watching and thanks for voting if you find it interesting.

MOC: 1:22.5 Bulgarian 2-10-2T narrow gauge steam engine (class 600.76)

I'd like to join the choir of congratulations :-) Great job. I need to study light solution from Brickstuff more. It makes your model to look even more realistic.- 61 replies

Impressive, so many details. And 10w looks really so much better than 6w or 8w on L-gauge.

Looks promising... How it works on curves? Does it let lego magnet coupler to move without limits? I tried to use 3L thin liftarm and there were problems when cars negotiated switches. -

Thanks, now I see it. Two lines running through all wagons with rectifier bridge connected parallel in each wagon. Tomorrow I'm off for bridge shopping :) Cheers! -

igordost replied to TK2241's topic in LEGO Train Tech
I'm not sure if it is so easy... :) For 1 passenger car it's fine but when going to connect 2 or more (in chain), it becomes more complicated because car could be connected from both sides what means that input should be able to work as output as well, and vice versa. Any hints are very welcome. -
It was 12/20.

Hi, sorry for bumping this thread. I just wanted to show promised 3% grade (and 3 cars so far :)) It took me a while to prepare movie (still with old front of the loco, now rebuild a bit)

Actually you don't need to. You may leave magnetic barrels free, without glueing etc. They will attach themselves to main magnet from buffer. The only problem is during decoupling - it has to be done carefully to avoid breaking circuit. Another limitation of this solution - cars have to be connected always in the same direction
