I am a lifetime fan of Lego and an eternal student of Science and Technology. Lego enabled me at a very young age to learn so much about mechanical and electrical concepts. This hobby... no this lifestyle, has given me so much over the years. It is my goal to share my knowledge and passion with the Lego community as they have done with me. Play Well!

Expanding my Lego Amtrak train with a GP-40!
มุมมอง 2.2K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
My Amtrak (modern Metroliner) train is definitely one of my favorites. It was a lot of fun to return to the project and add a GP-40 locomotive as well as an additional baggage car.

Look at those nails
Do you think someone is going to make a modern monorail switch track? would be nice to make some.
There is a guy in a Lego monorail Facebook group that is experimenting with 3d printing switches, he seems to be making great progress so far
@@BatteryPoweredBricks what’s the name of the group?
there was also in 2006 rc system
Yep, it's briefly mentioned in the video
I had the truck and trailer with the little go karts in boxes, and I might have had the single racecar? But I definitely wanted that Octan truck and race car set
I got 2 cargo trains with the rc train system but both died. Not sure what caused it but im thinking about converting them to powered up or maybe powerfunctions with a buwizz power brick
I finally have some monorail acquired and I'm happy to see all these parts are available. Great video!
I always wanted the octan carrier truck. I also had car#4 growing up. So I love seeing that set!
I bought a totally white brick pn grey base plate one container. It might be custom made?
Got a good laugh from the ‘meat’ packaging. Nice hauls.
Brian - those aren't middle wheels for the 12V train motor from the Grey era, those are for 4.5V motors and blue era 12V motors. The 12V grey era middle wheels are part BB0012V2 on Bricklink
You might have seen later in the video he mistakenly sent the wrong ones but sent replacements 👍
Great hall video
I'm not entirely sure why, but I get almost as excited watching you opening Lego packs as when I open my own. Somehow, feels better when its hitting your wallet. :-)
Lol
I thought those track pieces were relatively new, didn't remember them from back in the day.
Lego Technic Slammers?
Cyber slam.
I have to order some 1x1 plates in white to finish rebuilding kits. Not much of a video I can make from them.
If those white hinge/panel pieces are still in decent condition then just placed them in 3% hydrogen peroxide for a day or two and they will almost good as new. I've done it with some BL orders.
Carbon fibre rod from the hobby store could work too
I wonder if its possible to build a CN SD60F that actually looks like a SD60F
It's definitely easier to make locomotives that look more realistic when building at larger scales. For 6 wide trains, which is what I stick to, you can really only get so much detail in
@BatteryPoweredBricks very true, I've Been thinking about building one, but no matter how I look at how to do the cab, it just never looks like how it should
Nice haul! And always fun to see sets I never heard of before. Especially the robot things looks like a lot of fun!
Yay you made a new train video 😃 and great vid and amtrak train.
I am hoping you can help me. I have that RC car and the steering stopped working. I opened it up to see if I could fix it. Could you take a picture of the order of the parts that control the magnet trip that is under the white knob on the underneath please??? I have a spring and washer that went crazy on me.
The set is kind of buried at the moment and I haven't been down in the workshop for quite a while. Until the electricians show up and get me set up for a window unit it is just too hot to be down there for any length of time. If I ever do get around to it I'll do my best to respond
2:43 That is what i love about BlueBrixx. If you see a BlueBrixx Box, you can be sure that this thing is a 100% full with Bricks and 0% air. It almost explodes. 😊
Finally I can create my Docker container ship
😁
Love the new engine <3 If... IF you wanted to motorise it, you could run an umblicial cord from the engine unit to a baggage car, which has the battery & reciever in it. I did a similar thing with my Maersk engine when I got it, as I didn't want to remove the prime mover from the model :D
Here because I just got my Buwizz and tried a fast charger and nothing happened, plugging it into a dumb charger worked! Thank you!
No worries! Glad to help 👍
Very cool builds! I especially enjoyed your instruction on Bricklink Studio! I want to create a B&O Railroad EMD #51 replica but have been reluctant to use the Studio. Thank you!
I was very reluctant too, I had PTSD from playing Lego Creator decades ago 😅. I started by building official sets in Studio to get used to it and then started making my own mods and MOCs. It was one of the best things I've ever done in my Lego hobby
I'm very late to this video (because I'm only now looking into My Own Train), but I do have a bogey plate tip from someone who also has horrible luck with just dragging it over. I've found the best way for me to attach the bogey plates to the train base in Studio is to use the connect tool - you can click the anchor point in the middle of the bogey's peg and then the corresponding anchor in the train base.
I'll have to try that out, thanks!
Finally someone doing justice to this type of product! Thank you so much for the effort you put in doing this video. My ideas and questions are all answered and ready.
For me, LEGO did not do better than the old system with bare magnets. This new system with embedded magnets is stupid because the magnets are smaller in their plastic and they are separated by two plastic plates so their force is divided by two or even three.
They also can get flipped into weird positions and have less pull. I did find recently that BlueBrixx couplers have stronger magnets so I may do more testing with them. It doesn't look like they sell them individually at this time
The 3x4 wedge plates without notches are common in black, red, white, blue. So you could at least cut down on the number of 2x3 wedges with stud holes visible. They also technically exist in LBG but rare. You'd just need a 2x3 wedge behind them to get it butted up against regular plates/bricks.
I've played around with this idea in Studio. The problem for me is I use dark azure for the blue stripe so it wouldn't match any of my current rolling stock
if you want to drive that loco alone i have an idea make like 4 of the amtrack autotrain (from around the 90's) cars and hide the power in one of them but aside form that thats a realy good looking loco
TIL the locomotives that I see rolling past my local farmers market are EMD GP-40s after I realized they look exactly like the Maersk locomotive. Never made that connection before despite wanting to build a model of one for a while now. Guess I'll have to make a modified Maersk locomotive of my own in the Union Pacific livery now! EDIT: Or not... there are so many similar-looking locomotives... well it's a start at least lol. EDIT EDIT: I think what I'm seeing are actually SD70 locomotives. Well you've inspired me to do actual research for a locomotive project anyway.
It's a rabbit hole for sure. I have had many commenters tell me which locomotives are which but they often don't agree with each other😅. I do like to learn about real locomotives when I can though
How many GP40’s are you going to make? BatteryPoweredBricks: *y e s*
😅
Very nice! I’m a huge train fan, but I’m not so much interested in realism/accuracy as I am about it just looking good and being fun. Well done and inspiring.
Make a B-unit?
If you have enough time and money you Can make the train that was in the Big bayou disaster! AmtrakGuy365 has a great video on the Big bayou disaster. The reason i specificly Said this is because youre train has one GP40 and one Genesis, the Big bayou train has two GP40,s and one Genesis. Yes that is it just saving pieces.
11:25 you Can have a motorised box/mail/passenger car
But i don,t realy Care if you don,t make a longer train
Yeah I think it's long enough at this point. But you never know 😅
Awesome moc u can do the budd metroliner
Did Amtrak ever have a gp-40?
They had a variant known as the GP40TC.
@@ClaudesTrains yeah I found some pictures of it, it’s weird seeing freight locomotives pulling passenger trains
Glad you are putting your health first. fatigue isn't fun to suffer from.
6:35 sorry must have missed you say it but what is the name of that servo?
Oops, I guess I didn't say. Search "geekservo" and you should be able to find them. I did do a video later on using them
Buy from ?
These parts were all bought from various Bricklink sellers
Watching this is 2024, didn't consider adding connectors in case of need to extend, I just thought of repairing it.
allah senden razı olsun
I like the solid grey front and back.
I don't mind it, I think it has enough on the sides already and I didn't have to use any stickers for them!
