LEGO Train 12 Volts

Very nice work JopieK! I've always loved the 4546 and your new MOC inspired from this set fascinate me! I like also the background of your pictures ...from where does it come from?

Amazing work! I love docks area and its stuff!

Not so bad! I like the final result! Brick on Hypersonic!

Absolutely original ...nice work! I like also the wagon

Jopiek is right ...this project looks fantastic!

You're always welcome Tiger!

Wow Barduck, there always a bigger fish on the food chain! Very huge MOC and amazing design! I'm looking for new pictures in real Lego!

I think that 4 motors will be ok I've the configuration AB + 5 coaches and I use two motors

Hey Daedalus, that's is a really good point of view, I think that I will give it a try because even with my BR84 removing the rubber bands I've improved a lot the performances! Thanks for compliments!

Hey Zephyr thanks to you and your necessary accessories which have helped me to make this project possible! About your technical question LeifSpangberg I have used 4 motors, in this sequence: two for the front bogie, one for the rear and one for the tender ...the locomotive run powerfull on straight track but the engine loses a little its speed on tight corners. The Triplex can pull two passenger wagons (Emerald Niht type) or three gondola wagons (Maers type) or four freight cars of short type (16 studs long with only 4 wheels) Tony and Monsinjor it's amazing to receive compliments from you because I think you are two masters with insuperable abilities! I feel honored ...by the way Tony you can build everything with lego ...your flickr pages are full of incredible creations! Thanks also to you legoman666! I think that every long locomotive on bumps have some troubles ...it is better not to try You welcome Barduck ...I'm glad to have inspired you to solving some details ...and I'm also curious to see your creation!

Hey my dear lego friend (and lego fan) I've never hear so much beautiful words for my creations ...you're too kind and I'm glad you like my MOCs! About who is the fastest to reach a goal it doesn't really matter: every MOC has its own personality and also your fleet of locomotives is grown up during these months. Don't forget that you've created a beautiful KOF long time before me ...but this is not a challenge my friend! About this locomotive and my real job, Lego is just an hobby ...but I'm so addictec from this hobby that this is my 10th steam locomotive ...so also my skills are better than some years ago! Brick on Udo ...thanks again!

Thanks for the hints JopieK and thanks to Dan-147 too!

Triplex Erie 2-8-8-8-2 Steam Locomotive Hi Everyone, I'm back again with a new steam engine the historical Triplex Erie! The Triplex fascinates me with its complex running gear that also affects the tender. This engine is powerd from four PF medium motors (one in the tender)... ...and has lights on the front and on the back to characterize my creations! The switches are hidden in the tender The front lantern is attached to the boiler with a trick, I made a spring with some iron wire A big thanks also goes to Zephyr for his usefull stuff (rods and ladder), enjoy the videos and the pictures!

Very nice stuff!

Sergio you are the man! This is another masterpiece: the locomotive is very closed to the real and it doesn't seem an easy duty recreate that shape. The wagons are amazing too ...the color scheme looks great whit the red stripes and the chrome gold bars. In one word: totally cool!!!

Nicely done, very good details ...I'm looking for your next step!

Hi guys, thanks for the warm welcome! Thanks harnbak ...my steam engine fleet will grow up soon (this week end I'll post a new MOC) but I have in mind to build also some modern trains ....so stay tuned! ;-)

Wow very neat! I also love how it's long! Is it the place where you have taken the pictures of your kids near the Super Chief?

LOL

Wow thanks guys for your kind compliments and even more for your constructive criticism! I did not know of the existence of the piece ref.60583b that is perfect (and cheap damn it! ) I will change the design

Look at this magnificent work made by Sérgio: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=88325

Wow thanks for your fast replay! Today I have wasted two hours with welder and tester for nothing...

I don't know if this issue has already been discussed and I don't know if this is the correct area to talk about it, but I noticed that the IR receiver Version 2.0 can not feed more than two Medium Motors on the same channel. Someone has already dealt with this problem? I've solved recovering an old receiver but I had no idea why the new version acts in that way.

I feel honored Monsinjor ...receive compliments by a master is always rewarding. Thanks also to you Udo!

Super Chief Santa Fe!!!
