[MOC] New Year's Locomotive Parade - Christmas Tree
Selander replied to Brickstone_City's topic in LEGO Train Tech
What an amazing collection π₯°π€ -
Good, clean design ! Nice to see more 7-wide locomotives π€π

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.

With Lego, adding more studs is normally really simple π

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.

Replace broken motor pin on a train motor (12V)

Nice job and good quality video ππ -
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.

Very nice and realistic bridge ππ

How do I control two PuP crocodiles simultaneously ?
Selander replied to Selander's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@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 π -

Selander replied to Selander's topic in LEGO Train Tech
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. -

Now that's a clever hack. Well done. -

Thanks, I'm aware of this option, but not ready to walk along this path... I prefer a PuP app based solution. -
Great model, all through...ππ

How do I control two PuP crocodiles simultaneously ?
Selander replied to Selander's topic in LEGO Train Tech
@Lok24. Thanks for the links, I will study them carefully ! ππ€ @Lok24. Is it also possible to just have one slider, but control both hubs simultaneously? -
How do I control two PuP crocodiles simultaneously ?
Selander replied to Selander's topic in LEGO Train Tech
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 ...?(!) -
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.

Good one π€ππΎπ€ Very nice interior as well !! -
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. ππ
