    I too build 8-wide locomotives, but 7-wide rolling stock. As mentioned before, the choice is because of weight, but also because I found some design advantages for using the odd number of bricks for wagons. I have participated in some exhibitions over the years and visitors practically never says anything about the wider locomotives, so I suspect that means the 7-8 wide combo works. I should mention my locos are typically exactly 8-wide, without protruding handrails or so! But for rolling stock I often have handrails or protruding details etc....so this makes the width more "equal" when looking at a 8-wide loco with attached 7-wide wagons....

    Always amazed by the amount of details you manage to squeeze into your models, Ashi. And those light emitting cables, what a great idea. 👍👌🙌

    Epic 😲👌🙌

    I guess it'll be a PV 444 (or the updated PV 544). Amazon is probably my personal Volvo design favourite but I'd guess those lines are more difficult to catch in such limited scale.

    As usual, fantastic research, background story, attention to details and amazing overall presentation 👌🙌👍 I take my hat off

    When speaking about PuP hubs suitable for trains, I'd say boost hub is a "no". So for the moment I consider we have two usable hubs: 1) city hub = 2ch PuP hub to my terminology, in my previous post. 2) technic hub = 4ch PuP hub to my terminology, in my previous post.

    About the five channels, I think Lok24 is refering to the five different colours the PuP remote and hub can show to indicate which hub you are controling. (if controling multiple hubs with one remote) I copied a text I believe is relevant from the time PuP was introduced; An interesting feature of the LEGO Powered Up system is that if you build two or more hubs into the same train, and give them all the same channel color, you can drive up to five train motors in sync by connecting them to the same output on each hub. This is especially useful for long trains. In addition, you can use two motors at the same time from the same controller with one motor having its polarity reversed. This is done by turning the button interface to the direction of control needed. This feature is very handy for operating vehicles where you want vertical control for forward/backward drive and horizontal for steering. end of copy... ! Note: I believe the a/m text is only applicable for 2ch PuP hub, since that is the only hub you can pair automatically with PuP remote. When using the bigger 4ch (Technic) PuP hub, the PuP remote won't work automatically. New software from PYbricks, or a custom program in PuP app would be required in this case.

    No I never provide any instructions, but I could let you buy a locomotive. Otherwise, study pictures and use your creativity.

    Beautiful train set 👍👍👍Very well done.

    I've also built a locomotive with 88012. It's a Swedish class RC locomotive in 8-wide, about 34 studs long, with 2* train motors and LED lights. All is controlled by a custom program in the Lego PuP app. There it is easy to reverse direction of one of the train motors. 88012 has indeed a bulky format, so that becomes a bit of a challenge. Here I positioned 88012 approx 2 studs below the "base" (heightwise) and tried to disguise the lower section as undercarriage details with a bit of striping. 4 channels and AA batteries with more "juice", are really big advantages, compared to the smaller 2 ch hub.

    Nicely captured !

    Very impressive scenario you built. And the realistic texture for the stone house walls is superb.

    Lovely selection of vehicles 👍😎😉

    Nice designs 👍 I love V60:s 😉

    A question: I count overall length to 24 studs, and it looks like your buffer beams and magnets are fixed to the chassis. Based on own experience I would suspect problems, like loco buffer hitting wagon buffer when going through standard R40 switches ? What's your experience ?

    Nice build!! One of my favorite locomotives. And motorized too
