LEGO Train 12 Volts

This livery totally rocks me!

I love modern warplanes, but I think they are very difficult to make with Lego ...so when I see such masterpieces I am speechless! Great work!

Wow what a perfect architetture! Lovely minifigs too!

Amazing MOC, very clever building technique ...I like the face and the blonde hairs

Wow, what a huge masterpiece!

These literary passages are too funny! The cylinder for a gas grill I can guess! Beautiful theoretical concept and clear exposition

Holy cow! This set is outstanding ...I can't believe it! The video is absolutely crazy!

On the MT3608 datasheet that I found online, it says that the minimum operating input voltage is 2V and that the under voltage lockout is 1.98V. However, I installed this module in a casio calculator (3.7V -> 6V) and it stopped working when the battery voltage dropped to 3.2V. This needs further testing, but this first empirical test was successful.

...and in this case you double the duration

The input range is from 2V to 24V and the output can be set between the input voltage and 28V. ...and yes you can use two 18650 in series (personally I've put two 18650 in my Railjet and now the train has the right speed for that name! )

Correct! But I'm currently working on a PCB of my own design to replace the one inside the original battery box to incorporate this solution on the standard Lego battery pack. I hope to show my progress soon.

I assure you that with this solution the loss of traction is not appreciable ...in any case if you want you can always add a fishing lead, surely with this solution you will save space!

Hello everyone, if you are tired of depending on normal non-rechargeable batteries ...or... if you are not fan of the 1,2 Volt rechargeable batteries (that in the 6-piece battery pack deliver the paltry 7.2 volts) ...but... on the contrary you want trains that run fast for hours ...then read on! The Columbus' egg The easy solution is the use of only one lithium battery of the type you prefer (the classic AAA 10440, the big sister AA 14500 or the very strong 18650) combined with a voltage regulator such as the MT3608. The MT3608 allows you to adjust the output voltage bringing it exactly to 9 Volts (with the appropriate trim screw and the use of a multimeter). Advantages The advantages are basically 4: 1) The life of lithium batteries is significantly higher 2) The regulator supplies 9 volts constant so if the battery starts to run down you will not notice it until towards the end 3) The locomotive is lighter and therefore faster 4) The batteries can be recharged The circuit The circuit is very simple (and cheap ), you will need a single housing (or double if you want to exaggerate ) for the battery, a switch, an MT3608 (the screw must be turned counterclockwise to increase the voltage) and a PF connector (which must be connected to the PF receiver). Here you can find some pictures that explain more than many words. That's all folks!

Excellent MOC, I like the use of round technic pin joiners to simulate logs. Awesom use of colors (especially dark tan) I've only one question: are the tracks of the tank from Lego?

I vote for #3 and #8.

Totally cool ...I like the spider-robot with the dark-red arms in the second picture!

So many colors and so much marine flora ...a masterpiece of technique!

Very nice livery... the red windscreen is simply amazing!

Great architecture and amazing details! I love this moc and your building technique The SNOT logo is super

This is an amazing MOC!

Wow great video and amazing features!

Very nice model! It's amazing how it looks like the original

Very sleek!

Impressive realization! Every internal detail is faithfully reproduced, as well as the external architecture. The motorized truck and the Lidl logo are the icing on the cake!

Simply perfect ...as usual!
