LEGO Train 12 Volts

Wow this landscape is great! It would be great have this huge and beautiful station in my layout! Top work!

I rarely visit this forum but this Mech is awesome! Very well done!

Welcome aboard Gaby! Soon will come Lego Lord Of The ring!

Nice work with that walking dead ...but Charlie Brown ...man is awesome!

Beautiful bookshop! I like the winter atmosphere and the inner details. The shelves are very well done.

Nice to see the two versions of both cars! Awesome CAD work!

This could be a perfect scene for the X-mas raffle. Top work, and beautiful gifts!

During December between the 20:00 and 21:00 o'clock (GMT +1) the connection was very slow. Now during X-mas holiday it seems to me that all is well.

Oops! I've just resized the images I had missed those three pictures. Thanks for the compliments The Brickster!

Totally cool! I'm speechless!

You can try to use the nylon spool line of the right section and groove it at the ends with a cutter

Yes the LEDs are all in series, this is the easiest way to make connections with a single circular circuit Thanks you all for the compliments and a special thank to you Teddy for the tip on how to re-gearing! Here you can find the complete gallery of my new BR

Welcome aboard Javier! Awesome GBC (great ball contraption) video on youtube!

Beautiful city, I like that lighthouse on the rampart of rock! Great layout!

Beautiful work for a not so little winter landscape! Why don't you post directly your picture in the topic?

Wow, lovely train station! Beautiful old school atmosphere ...see the nose of the great 7750 it's always awesome!

Beautiful MOC! Great building technique and fantastic use of those small train wheels! The lego model looks like the real one!

Hi everyone, during last months I have been working on a new project: the BR 84-009 This new steam locomotive (8 studs wide) has a new original pistons movement and as my previous BR 94-1292 has a single long frame of 10 wheels. This locomotive under the hood has a 9 volt battery to light up the two front lights and red rear lights; the switch is in the back masked by coal. The real challenge with this new BR was to create a propulsion system powered by my usual cabose locomotive that would allow a synchronized speed between both of them (BR and caboose). I have to thank once again Teddy for giving me the idea of regearing the transmission between the PF medium motor with large wheels and the RC standard train motor equipped with small train wheels. Before continuing I’d like to share a little bit of theory: You can find the rpm of each lego motor here: lego 9v compared characteristics than you have to know the perimeter of the wheels (ex: 9v train motor rpm x diameter x PI 3,14) so you can find the distance covered by your train in one minute. Theoretically a standard train motor 9v (only the motor with four classic wheels and no other weight) cover 110 meter in one minute: 2000(rpm)x 1,76(cm. wheel diameter)x3,14(PI)=110,52m. Now if you want to cover the same distance with a PF medium motor with the new lego large train wheels you have to regearing, because this combinantion cover 38 meter in one minute: 405(rpm of medium pf motor)x 3,00 (cm. large wheel diameter)x3,14(PI)=38,15m. You can use, for example, a 24 tooth gear as pinion and a 8 tooth gear as crown wheel: 405(rpm of medium pf motor)x 3,00 (cm. large wheel diameter)x3,14(PI)x24(tooth gear)/8(tooth gear)=114,45m. My original idea to avoid any difference in speed (after regearing) between the two locomotives is a clutch system. To respect the original aspect ratio hiding battery, motor and clutch gear I’ve used a useful SNOT technique. Thanks in advance to Toastie if he would publish my instructions on railbricks. Enjoy the show! Merry Christmas to all

Beutiful MOC! ...and funny scene!

That's great!

Beautiful landscape! I love the way you have placed the snow in your layout!

Perfect timing! Merry Christmas to everyone!

Fantastic MOC! This lovely winter clock tower fits perfectly for X-mas time! Beutiful colors and nice shape!

Great progress, I like the tiles used for sidewalks. Huge store and great pitched roof to avoid accumulation of snow and ice! Beautiful colors scheme!

Excellent MOC, this car looks like the real one! Top work!
