Hi everyone! My latest build is a replica of a draisine (we call it Dresina in Portugal)—a small railway vehicle used for inspection and light maintenance on train lines. The model is built in 1:45 scale and fully motorized using Circuit Cubes. The battery is cleverly disguised as cargo, hidden beneath a fabric LEGO tarp (part 69244 in dark tan), which was only available in set 75290 (Mos Eisley Cantina). This allowed me to integrate the power system without compromising the model’s realistic appearance. One personal touch: the "Mia" graffiti was hand-drawn directly onto the bricks using Posca markers. I wanted to give the build a bit of character and that lived-in, slightly gritty look often seen on real-life railway vehicles. -
A historic tram connects Sintra to one of its most popular beaches, Praia das Maçãs. The line was inaugurated in 1904, but today's red vehicle dates from the 1930s. It maintains its original features, such as wooden benches and brass dials, and while it’s a slow, noisy, and bumpy ride, it’s a fun experience. The complete 13km(8 miles)-journey takes 40 minutes, passing through the rural areas of Colares towards the coast. The LEGO model has around 2000 parts (including the base/diorama) and it's motorized with Circuit Cubes it has 2 motors, One for driving, and another to invert the Rod "Panthograph" It has Room for 16 minifigs.
