This is my Mercedes Arocs truck in 6wide scale.
-
This is a Swedish T44 diesel locomotive, in two color schemes, and both equipped with the "new" Powered Up system. The PuP battery box withg it's slimmer height is better for locomotives with limited space heightwise like the T44. Also it means battery change is quite easy.

Impressive stuff !!!

To my experience, a static three axle bogie, is not recommended (at all). It will have a considerable friction on rails. Unless you build a static model for your bookshelf I wouldn't use that technic. -
A floating mid axle is the right way to go. A static three axle truck will not perform well in std curves and/or switches. https://flic.kr/p/bjEvwq

Tiles are 14769pb196

Long time since posting any trucks.... well here's a new vintage style timber transport truck inspired by Volvo F88, Hope you like it, comments and proposals welcome
-
I added a DkGreen inverted slope at each side of the coal bunker, and submitted this to BMR:s October competition, Hope you like it
-
Nice result ✌️??
-
Yes. These are made from a modified 1*7 liftarm thin. The cut pin is to increase strength of (glued) joint.
-
Added pipeworks and coal bunker is now 7wide. Improved ? Please let me have your thoughts.
-
Thanks for all positive comments and creative proposals. In fact I am doing some add-on:s right now, and will take new pictures after receipt of a BL order ? M motor is merely for display, a std train motor drives the wagon.
-
Thanks for an expert review ? Yepp wheels are big, but I wanted to use these Lego originals since they are so beautiful....and as pointed out it is not an scale modell, but simply what I found pleasing for the eye. Same with bunker design....however I will try adding an additional inverted slope at each end an see what I think. Thanks for your kind comments, much appreciated.

This MOC Tank Engine is inspired by the german Knapsack but it is not a scale model…. It is my very first MOC steam Engine, and I focused on the estetics…. hence no motor nor advanced connecting rods with brake cylinders etc.... To accompany these tank Engines I present two concept motorized wagons, with PF and PuP respectively. Please let me know what you think.

MOD - 12 volt wheels with axle hole for Power Functions motor
Selander replied to Paperinik77pk's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Here's a 2011/2012 tutorial for adding a third wheel to a PF train motor. -
Try to cut circular segments of bicycle inner tube, and put those on each wheel. I've used it successfully on BBB medium wheels. You need a groove in the wheel to use o-rings like those EN wheels have. Otherwise they will slide off.

PP3 battery is about 3studs wide, hence panels are needed to make it fit in a 4wide hood like 7760 has. I don't understand what you mean with "those are not common parts"... My DkGreen loco has a 5wide brickbuilt hood, leaving a 3wide gap for the PP3.
-
Above is a link to my 7760 PF. Here is another loco I made with PP3 battery, to make really compact designs.

That is a strange bridge Wonderful idea !!!

"automobiles" for train layouts ... 5+ wides?
Selander replied to Ron Dayes's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Here's my rule of thumb: Cars 4wide, SUV 4wide+wheel arches => "5wide"". Trucks 6wide. Trains 7/8 wide. Typically my locos are 8wide and rolling stock 7wide. -
[MOC] Dual-voltage (9V-12V) GySEV Vectron locomotive
Selander replied to Ashi Valkoinen's topic in LEGO Train Tech
Great design !! -
Nice "shelfie" photos !! ?
-
Here's a new small green locomotive. I had a stock of parts in green suitable for building a locomotive, such as 13760, 2928, 60592, 60594 and 60414. It is not based on a real prototype, but more on my previous builds. Roof light as recently seen by Holger Matthes. Not powered, bur has fake "motors" behind the green doors.
-
Really nice, very well done.
-
Yes this is correct, but better using 2*87087 and technical brick 1*2 w 2holes. It gives a more stable design. Or like you show but one more 87087 plus technical brick 1*1. OK? Also I need to mention this is not my original design. But I cannot remember exactly the origin.....
