Hey guys! I don't do very many MOCs but I do like to do them when I have the time. This time around I wanted to do something that I have not done before, 1. being I have never done a steam engine and 2. a train that does not use a conventional train motor bogie, I would have to build by own and it couldn't be exposed. Keeping that in mind I dove in and started building, this is not based on any train in particular which gave me some freedom on what I could put in. I also wanted to keep some of the classic LEGO train style in my model along with some newer styles. So the only thing to say is Enjoy and constructive criticism is encouraged! MOC 0-6-0 Steam Engine. by Rail Co, on Flickr The main classic element is the 45 degree slopes for the boiler, honestly I love the shape and I am glad I implemented it.

I was able to find a chrome piece which looked good on the engine and I really like that.

Enjoy! -RailCo

So you may know from a previous topic of mine, that I am involved in the RC hobby as well as Lego Technic. However after buying a much more powerful RC buggy I have decided to try and find a easy way to modify an M motor for more speed and torque. I thought maybe if I bought a second extension cable and I connect one M motor to two rechargeable batteries it would give more speed and torque. Is this the case or do I have to do some internal modifications? Also so you can better understand what I want to use this for..... I would like to make a mini monster truck, about 8-9 inches long, but most of all I want it to be able to do wheelies from a standing start with a wheelie bar connected to some soft 6.5 springs to hold the wheelie. If you have any ideas please share them, thanks!
