  1. What an amazing collection πŸ₯°πŸ€—
  2. Good, clean design ! Nice to see more 7-wide locomotives πŸ€—πŸ™Œ
  3. Thanks a lot, I appreciate you took these photos! Really clarifying...πŸ€—
  4. So well designed, and built !!! Masterclass πŸ™ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ How long is the light transmitting cable you use for the lower front lights ?
  5. If you like to build your own Lego technic based drivetrain in a locomotive, I think the L motor is the best alternative, with it's high torque and fair rotation speed. For an easier "plug and play" experience, but still with a powerful motorization, I'd choose a setup with 2x regular train motors.
  6. With Lego, adding more studs is normally really simple πŸ˜‰
  7. Since the three big wheels are assembled in a static configuration, and considering the long length of locomotive, you need the front and rear bogies to be able to travel slightly sideways, provided you run the loco in (not super large) curves. If using a train motor as you suggest, a "slot" in the train base plate could give this functionality and it could work from a functional chassis point-of-view. Torquewise a train motor would be much weaker... In this case, I'd recommend using two train motors to get more traction and power.
  8. Nice clean lines, good proportions and excellent color scheme. This is a very good design πŸ€—πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Œ
  9. Nice job and good quality video πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘
  10. In the format you build, (~length and width) I'd advice you to stay with 1-2 standard 2-axle PuP train motors. That will look better with that "toy-ish" original Lego building style, and the playability is so much better. A "real" 3-axle technic Lego based bogie with a separate PuP large motor in the loco cabin will need much more length/space/volume than you currently have. Your coaches would also need a rebuild to look appropriate as a consequence. Also bare in mind a 3-axle bogie demands more tweeking and maintenance.
  11. Very nice and realistic bridge πŸ‘πŸ™Œ
  12. @Lok24 I created the custom program in PuP app yesterday, acc to your instructions/proposals and it works perfectly. Thanks again for your kind advice πŸ™Œ
  13. Agreed, I do plan to use the PuP app, for sure. But its interesting to see what alternative solutions people have come up with. Trainheads are part of a very creative community.
  14. Now that's a clever hack. Well done.
  15. Thanks, I'm aware of this option, but not ready to walk along this path... I prefer a PuP app based solution.
  16. Very nice designs, but my favorite is, without doubt, the large couchette car 😍
  17. Great model, all through...πŸ™ŒπŸ‘
  18. Great, thanks a million βœ…πŸ‘
  19. @Lok24. Thanks for the links, I will study them carefully ! πŸ™ŒπŸ€— @Lok24. Is it also possible to just have one slider, but control both hubs simultaneously?
  20. Thanks @Lok24. So if I understand you correct, I need to write my own custom program ? I thought using the Lego PuP remote wasn't possible when using large motors....that it would only be a on/off full throttle ...?(!)
  21. This is right now a hypothetical question, but I'm in process of designing two Powered Up locomotives that I want to run simultaneously. Loco 1: white 2ch PuP hub + large PuP motor. Loco 2: same as above. Option 1: Most convenient would be to use the specific PuP app Lego designed for the crocodile, but is it possible to use that app for "two crocs" simultaneously? Option 2 would be to code a custom app ..can someone please share some screenshots of your program, if you have done that? I'm merely looking for a simple speed control so I'd guess such coding should be easy.... Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
  22. Interesting to hear more about the design and building process . Thanks for sharing!
  23. Good one πŸ€—πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ€ž Very nice interior as well !!
  24. I needed to change and update a PuP app project today, and I only succeeded after looking into a few parts of your excellent instruction. @idlemarvel Thank you very much again for the work you have put in to this. πŸ™ŒπŸ‘
