    Want to see the train of Studgate moving at 12v? Click on link below : Moving train from Studgate 910002 at 12v.

    I was just wondering if there are more people who refuses to use the orignal stickers of Lego itself, because of the bas quality (it won't last long sadly) or difference in color when apllied. In late '90's Lego changed the quality of stickers and still to this day, it doesn't look that has changed to mine opnion. So when I buy a set, when stickers are involved, I wait when Steindrucker has them available and use then in sets. It does looks better and no worries that sticker will curl and break in time. Last one depends at uv-light, humidity, temp. etc.

    It feels not finished to me, but actually this is what I had in mind. Station 7822 in yellow combined with station 4554 where the back closed. I can remove the back without changing the set itself. And at the end of station 7822 (in right bottom of 1st pic) I added platform 9 3/4 for the Hoghwarts Express. I combined the sets into the station itself. Idea is that you can travel from 9v track to 12v track trains. Now let me show you the big station around:

    The 2d wagon modified to mine idea . Now I'm proud to have this train parked at Studgate station. Alsways missing parts, like 1x3 black plates . Well, I hop I won't forget at next bricklink order. And just a reminder it's bought from bricklink site :

    When I saw first the picture of this station, I wanted it for mine 12v lay-out. I got one, YES , for normal bricklink price. Sold out after a few hours. After waiting for half year, the package came and I started to build. Only the platfrom was just 2 brick high. I want 3 brick high, which looks better to the 12v trains I have. Ordered bricks and this is result: Station done. Now the train, which doesn't fit into the grey 12v area. Modified the station, so why not the train itself too and make a nice set of it. I decided to use replace the 24 baseplate for an 28 one. Use 12v wheels with red pin inside. Add traindoors & -windows. Add a toilet, just behind the driver, so he can go fast when needed . Result of strikes lately . And costum made stickers DB (Deutsche Bundesbahn) with setnumber. Left is as from the set and right is modified one. Recognize the rare driver? Thx herr Stiendrucker . Rare pentograph and expensive . Looks good . With toiletpaper and sink. What you think? Good job or yeah whatever...........?

    Now we go full steam ahead. Just made a little mod to trainstation 4554 for a little project to combine it with set 7822 in yellow. I want to back of the trainstation to be closed, but not to change the set itself. Now to mod a nice platform at the back........

    Slowly we keep on building. Made another movie with the 7740 as main player. And a nice view of mine PandaCity of Bricks in progress. Evolution of the 7740 in PandaCity of Bricks

    Another model of BigBoy........ That's fine and the model of Berthil has it's issues too. Main problem is, the BigBoy is just too big and clumbsy at legotrack. When using non-Lego pieces, sorry that's not moccing anymore in mine eyes. Then you can better buy a complete model of Marklin or something :( .

    Connect both 12v motors with a wire for a more smoother ride. Looks nice

    Awesome .

    Never liked the big train in book 7777. Just look odd to me, size doesn't feel right. Actually whole train. Not that I don't like big trains, but why not the biggest you can build:

    Little update about those medium linear 88008 motor . They have a little more torque, but are also slower. Compared with the WeDo 2.0 medium motor , I prefer the last one. Is also more compact to build in and trains can run faster. I've also made/busy with an upgrade to transport the whole set itself easier. Whole idea is to remove the upper part easy with the gearpart still on the wheels: I did this, because the train is so large it is difficult to pick it up and move it around. Only I need to adjust the front wheels, because it derails in corners. And the connecting rods are also not running smooth, first things first. It will run like I want to .

    Here 2 pictures how far the building progress is at the moment of the BigBoy 4014. I put the Sante Fe beside it, to give you an idea how big and long the model is of the BigBoy 4014. Unfortunately it doesn't run that smooth in corners as shown in movie at YouTube. The front wheels can't move with the corners, so it derails. Needs to adjust that little problem. Now this beast is almost build, it is a beast of a train. And Sante Fe is already big.......... Can't wait to make a movie when running at mine lay-out.
  14. BillytheKid
    Look how massive this train is, compared with other trainsets: Looks odd, just made a mistake with not ordering the longest technic bricks for the 2d wheels :
  15. BillytheKid
    I saw it, but I keep as you made it. For future, whatever happens . It was a big pile of parts before I started to build. When finished, I post a pic and maybe a movie here.

    With the app at PoweredUp, use the batman device and you can control the PU small motors (used in building-instruction) with different speed. You need both hands to control both motors at same speed. You be like a real steam-engine-driver to work hard to keep this big beast going. Even a 2d person might be needed to keep an eye at what happens around the train . Anyway, I'm want to show how far I'm with building progress. Building itself is slow, because I need build form an Iphone. I asked how much it cost to print it out at a printshop €150,- . That's half of budget of the train itself. Anyway picture: To give an idea how big the bigboy actually is, I put set 7740 beside it. Than you realize how big this monster is. I do believe it will run smooth at track, curves and switches. The problem will be it's size........... Crossovers needs to be adjusted, etc.

    @Toastie, Thx for the information. I tried to make an own device at the app, but I don't how it works . But I found out that with the Batman thing, I can control both motors with different speeds. When letting it go, the motors will stop. It works for now, but not a fine device to work with. Feels like a driver, who needs to control the train all the time it's running.

    @Berthil, I just bought 2 motors of €40,- and they can't be used.......? I need 2 motors which I can use at different speeds with the Batterybox of Powered Up. And those 88008 can do that? Before I order again €40,- without knowing if it will work?
  19. BillytheKid
    @Berthil, Train is getting build up. I used same motors you used in your building instruction. When using the Lego-controller the motors can only run at 1 speed and only when keep pressing the buttons. I tried the app on mine phone, nothing works. I need some help with this. Running train at different speeds is better and more fun.
  20. BillytheKid
    @Darkkostas25, no, just as a single train. When completed, the train itself is 3 long (28studs) wagons long. That's long enough for me and at mine layout . It means the loc itself is just aslong as the set 7740 or 7745.
  21. BillytheKid
    Don't think there's nothing going on in PandaCity of Bricks. Busy the build and modify Rollercoaster 10261 and a new train will be added to mine collection. A big boy, model of the biggest steam engine of the world.
  22. BillytheKid
    Only build the frame sofar, waiting for the parts to continu. Even now this train is a beast compared woth other trains . I wonder how it looks when build....... .
  23. BillytheKid
    Very beautiful trains you have made. Lego should make a set one of these.
  24. BillytheKid
    Sounds great . How did it work for you, during making of this video?
  25. BillytheKid
    I can't edit video, so I can't add music or what so ever. I agree in some cases, music can make it more. I like do watch video's of lego trains without music, that's the music for me . Everybody make their video's how they want to make it .YouTube has many limits to get high views. That's why AllmightyArjan has stopped to make nice video's. He did a nice job with video's and music, I must admit that. I believe when your product (video) is good, you don't need extra to make it look it better . Anyway, nice to see you have a fine condition 7740 in your collection. When you start to add some buildings or modulars to your collection ?
