LEGO City Update - Diesel Shunter Flatcar Transport MOC 7760 🚆🏹
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- I've wanted the Diesel Shunter (set 7760) forever but it remains unobtainable for a reasonable price so, I'm going to make my own. Here I go through the design process, colour scheme and piece selection, how I'm going to adapt it to fit my track and train setup, as well as the build itself. I even do some sticker surgery to finish the distressed look. The build has a classic set look but includes modern pieces and stickers resulting in a completely unique MOC. Yay!

That’s a really cute train. The only suggestion we can think to improve it would be attaching some chains to it to make it look like it’s secured onto the train carriage. 👍🏻
Yeah I agree. Cue 100 more comments saying the same, haha. Thanks for the suggestion!
Its always a good day when Robin makes a video.
Your comment is the most liked one! 2 days later still is lol 😂
Yea
Always is
Very kind!
Thanks Robin!
The fact that you utilized some worn pieces was brilliant! Great build as always!
Much appreciated!
Looks fantastic
I'd love to see the shunter rearrange your subway trains on a big yard.
I would do but no yard is planned due to it taking the space of a whole district of my city, haha!
@@RobinHoodBricks I love your channel! And you are so good at lego!
Or freight
Nice Diesel shunter it's presumingly on a flatbed because it was recently built
Two things !!! I think you should have some chains thrown over the buffers and attached on that bottom peace just infront of the train rail peace, as they would have it strapped down. And inside definitely needs some seats and such old ledge with a coffee cup and some leavers !! Really cool build 😎👌
Thank you. I think you mean tea. All British rail men worth their salt drink tea!
@@RobinHoodBricks tea indeed ☕️
Being a railway enthusiast I can tell that the inspiration for the diesel shunter came from various designs from European diesel shunters
I think like a BR class 04
Wait no, that’s not right,I forgot what
@@EasternMaineRailfan br class 07
Yes,that’s right
@@EasternMaineRailfan and if you're someone who's watch Thomas the Tank Engine you would know that that class of engine the British railway class 04 is the basis for Mavis
Woohoooo train build!!
Fantastic build! The livery reminds me of Network South East!
That era makes kids wish they were born in the 80s
very cool Robin I like the way you use the older doors to your advantage by creating an older looking Shunter and those stickers are the extra garnish on this great idea..
Glad you like it. I was worried about the doors but they look good now!
Very cool build. I would suggest adding a chain to each corner of the shunter to the flat car. Loads like this are usually chained down to keep them from shifting.
The doors and other faded bricks are *perfect* for a run-down and well used shunter. Since you've got the boxes of "stuff" on the ends, why not put the magnet couplers in a pile on one end. Consistent with parts that have been removed for transit.
Build looks really great.
That’s a great idea, I was thinking the flatbed looked a bit bare, that would solve that problem wouldn’t it?
Nice, thanks!
Nice a new train!
Nice! Glad to see you post almost 3 times a week.
Nearly at 300 videos in under two years, so pretty good!
@@RobinHoodBricks yes! Very Good!!
The return of the train builds! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very sweet build Robin! It really has a great character!
That's the right word for it, yes. It has character!
This looks like a cool train build. I have no suggestions for improvements because I know literally nothing about trains apart from they run on tracks and they are normally delayed 😂😂😂😂😂 anyway great build as always 😀😀
Fair enough!
This build is actually so cool with the old pieces and the stickers added so much
The stickers on the front and back really finish it off well, I think!
Yay this is an interesting build I like it.
Your second. by the second lol
Well done Robin you took my advice on the windows and slide them.
BTW back in the 60s and 70s many of those sets had HO scaling to go with genuine train layouts. That's why the doors were 3 bricks high etc.
I didn't know that but it makes sense!
I love your train builds! This one blows my mind ,so cool!
Thank you very much. Yes, it looks great!
I relate to the desire to have something in your city other people don't.
I have lots of things in Sloth City other people don't have because a lot of the city was built from scratch.
Of course that was because I can't afford big sets, but the result IS unique.
More trains!! Still need more trains.
I would suggest adding in some detail such as sticker or something.
Also a suggestion for a new train build, not sure if it exists in real life, but a fire engine carriage.
Cool idea. It's gone on the list!
The switcher looks kinda like an amtrak loco
Can you please try and put it on the tracks to see? :)
Can you please do it because i think it looks really cool and i might try it myself :)
I love the idea of the Snowpiercer Cargo Edition, and the shunter looks really cool.
Haha, yes but it's becoming increasingly hard to run. Need to add more power!
Wow this is a fantastic build and really make me want to build one for my city. I just love how compact it is and how amazingly it fits on the wagon. Awesome work my friend. Another great addition to your cargo train and city. Thanks for sharing.
what i love about robin is how happy he is to be recording, and passionate about what he is doing
Much appreciated!
@@RobinHoodBricks :D
also
very random ik but im curious
what are the sets most worth buying now?
As an investment? Modulars always and the Ninjago one.
For use? That very much depends on your needs!
@@RobinHoodBricks Alright, thanks!
@@RobinHoodBricks It's because I want a city like you, but I don't have enough room, so I'm gonna make some shelves into different little scenes
I also don't have enough money :(
Ingenious way to get a 2-in-1 package for this build! The only thing I'd say is put a grey plate over the front and back of the build (if possible) to cover up that bright-yellow pint sticking up for the wheels. Almost getting to the point where you need another motor in one of the engines!
Yes, I have the motors to add!
I thought these were pushed on the rails without power. At least that is what was done with big boy 4014 when it was restored. Then again the big boys were the largest and most powerful steam engines so it makes sense to do this for smaller engines
Lovely addition to the train set. And it’s even better because it’s economical (didn’t break the bank just to buy an old set) and creative in using currently available pieces...+++points for that one
Absolutely!
This just gives me Lego train nostalgia.
Yay, success!
In my opinion this the best lego locomotive you have made
It's beautiful isn't it. And the damage makes it look even better!
Good stuff, i hope we get to updating the train shed soon, im excited to see what you do with it!
Soon!
Wonderful concept and execution. Inspiring as usual.
Thank you kindly!
Hey RHB. Another great build. A 'fun shunter' says it all. Top Monday entertainment. Cheers Robin! 😀👍🏻
Hey, thanks!
I love how you can make old scratch parts looks so awesome, nice job 👍
Very nice. The sticker surgery is especially impressive and inspiring!
Oh, good to hear!
Looks good. You could add 4 chains to the corners to hold the shunter on. Keep up the good work.
I had/have the old police set when I was a kid. Still have raise windows. Very nice shunted, the doors were a great choice!
Much appreciated!
You should add chains holding the Shunter down. Attach four chains from each corner of the train to each corner of the Raised bit of that Flatcar.
To further sell the old broken down image of the shunter, maybe make one side of the look like it has a big dent in it with some cheese wedges or mount a plate hanging off the side of it like a misfitting cover. To liven up the bed you could have a spare wheel or some more chains holding the shunter in place. Or maybe take off part of the build and put it on the bed and then have the exposed section look like it has some kind of engine in it? Might be doable by fitting together some one and two brick modified plates in weird ways.
That is serious detailing. Maybe on the second pass I will do things like this!
As a proud owner of the original 7710 train, this video sure made me smile. And what a great adaptation! I love the multi-color dedign! I also really liked your use of worn pieces in the build. I try to use that technique in my builds too!
Nice build!
Cool, thanks. Lucky you!
Really Nice video the thing is is that i understand that diesels are easier to build but coud you please try to make a steam locomotive?
One may be building a head of steam as we speak!
‘I’ve kept those stickers for a rainy day...and it looks like it’s raining today...’.... Last time I checked Brick Nottingham sits in the middle of the UK, so you should’ve put those stickers on a couple hundred times by now 😂😉
I love that nostalgic feel with those Dutch (😉) colours. I remember the days of browsing through the catalogues and seeing the Model Team sets like the Highway Rig, Black Cat and Magic Flash 👍🏼
My thoughts exactly. I get two bits of nostalgia for the price of one!
i wanna see you make a train as large as your loop, it would be funny
That's what I'm working towards!
That's a great idea! Jang has one or two shunters in his rail areas and they are a pretty neat vehicle so a great idea to include. The concept with it being transported is cool, and love the design and colors -- definitely stands out!
I agree!
Turned out great mate , I really like it . The worn/used / damaged bits really came out well . Looks like it has lived a very for filled life .
I now want a small shunter for my cargo yard ... Thank you and as always keep up the great work.
Go for it!
Loving every train build. that shunter looks perfect, nice and old, used, well worked, and now being relocated hopefully for more duty and not the scrap yard. I think there is a lot of open space on your flatbed front and back. you might add a few Hoboes or "Freighthoppers" for those hobophobic, which might add to why there are rail workers chasing the train... sorry if I offend anyone, it's all in fun. as always thank you for the great video and amazing city of Brick Nottingham.
This looks really good. I agree the "run-down" bricks add to the overall look perfectly.
Excellent! Guess it is one of a kind going to a railway museum!
That might be right!
I absolutely love the design of it and immediately want to build one myself! This video deserves way more likes! Greetings from Austria!
Go for it!
If you have any more of the chains, you could put 2 on each end and have it connected from the shunter to the flatbed carriage so it looks like it’s securing it. You could try them crossed. Might make it look a bit more sturdy. It doesn’t appear to need it but maybe just for aesthetics.
All my chains are spoken for unfortunately. I may have to get some more for this though!
Man that is such a good idea, it looks amazing
I needed a shunter and didn't want to give up space to a rail yard. Result!
Definitely a cunning plan to get your grungy dream shunter in your setup! 👍🏻
Definitely!
Looks great! It may be better to switch the LBG ladders on the front and rear of the train to DBG to match the roof line. I was also thinking that a lift crane on the front or rear of the car to remove the engine would be nice as well even though it may not be realistic.
Fantastic work! I don’t think I’ve seen many well wagons/low loaders made in lego but this is probably the best. I’d recommend adding chain pieces to secure the shunter though, even if just for decoration.
Wow, thanks!
18th comment! The train looks awesome Robin! What's your favorite train in all of Brick Nottingham?
White fast passenger train 60051 as it got me back into LEGO after a loooong period without!
Robin. Wonderful build as always. I am a massive lego train fan, and you definitely have inspired me to build my own shunter. I love how yours looks, but seeing as I live here in the states, the red white and blue reminds me a little too much of our postal trucks. So I think I will have to come up with a slightly different color scheme for mine! :P
Go for it, and use whatever doors you can get a pair of!
Looks good from a distance
Yeah it's lovely!
Hallo . Good idea to rebuilt the Schunter 7760 in your own unique creation. Love it. You have done a good Job Again. Greatings From Clemens in Vienna Austria.
Danke schön, mein Freund!
Great job love your train 🚂 videos, you should make a train truck - lorry 🚛🚂
This is an awesome build!
Simple but very good looking, haha!
you could add some sting to hold the caben down, like the old spider man string with the handles. it would add some realisum to the build
I would love to see you do something with the Hidden Side train. The set comes with some nice pieces
He pretty much did with the haunted subway. It’s cool! Have you seen the video?
I almost bought that but didn't. I have a haunted Subway train which is better, in my opinion!
It's a cute little switcher unit
It sure is. Love that colour scheme!
More LEGO cargo train cars are always welcome :)
Yes they are!
I had built something like this and I really like how you have built it
Hi RHB, really nice use of old bricks, How about using 4 lego string sections (or chain) to use as hold downs very much like how you see in the first photo you show. that might also keep it from moving around.
Super nice MOC ! Love it !
This train looks Amazing! Especially with those hazard 1x4s!
Maybe tile the front and back of the train off with grey, to mirror the roof, or gray details or something. Just an idea.
I tried it, digitally, and it does look quite good in grey!
ALSO, forgot to mention; the pictures you showed where all being transported to scrap (except the SP one, that was Narrow Guage so it had to be transported that way) If they’re in service and being transported, they usually run them turned off directly behind the main locomotives.
I guess this one must be off for scrap then. Poor thing!
Look very nice... Good Job!!! maybe some graffity stiker on the train will give more abandoned look...
Great build. 😃
If you’re worried about the shunter wiggling back and forth while the train is moving you could use some of those short chain pieces as tie downs.
It doesn't move in transit but I've since added the chains anyway. They look good!
@@RobinHoodBricks Nice. Bet it adds to the realism.
It looks cute
It sure does!
Came out good though 😃 why don’t you put spilt oil somewhere on the flat bead, normally with old diesel trains they leak oil
Subtle but nice idea!
Your welcome robin can’t wait for today’s video
That’s nice. A fine addition.👍
Very nice build 😊
Suggestions: either change the wagon rails to dark bley, or change the lowcar to light bley; blend the 2 together.
If you went for the light bley low base, you vould make your 'radiators' dark bley and match the roof, otherwise suggest changing the roof to match the radiators 🙂
Yes, maybe. I have none of these other colours at the moment!
@@RobinHoodBricks it's the constant problem for the lego builder ❤
Really great design!
Thank you!
This is awesome! Although I think it should go next to the crane car so it’s available to load it off and on when it reaches its destination...never haha
Good point!
Yay🥇Yay a new train build. not unique now robin lol.
Dude! Not cool!
Maybe I should block him? Haha!
@@RobinHoodBricks lol I will remove the link now. It was a Rick roll btw It’s a meme. don’t block me lol 😂
Yeah, I know. Some genius does that to me from time to time!
@@RobinHoodBricks I thought that lol 😂
Such an awesome build.
Yes, it turned out great. Love that little guy!
Yep, you did it again. Another wonderfull train added, so much flavor here!
Ps. Those prices are crazy... 415,- almost ashamed I am Dutch. 🙈
Haha, someone will buy it!
those power miners sets would be great for mine mondays
I love the build! The ends of the flatcar are still a tiny bit bare, but not a big deal
Maybe add more equipment/tools
If only lego did side rods for that tipe of wheel. Looks really nice 👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁
I couldn't agree more!
I really love that flatcar. Such a good choice for a video! This will be my last time commenting about the length, because next time it will be touching lol.
That's the plan!
Seems I'm a year late to the party!
I recommend maybe a 'wasp' style front, using maybe a 4x4, using black and yellow wedge pieces, to make it look like so,e classic BR style shutters! I love this, and this livery looks like Network Southeast!
It's just such a lovely old set. It's a real pleasure to have going around on my Cargo train. Beats having it static in a freight yard!
Excellent job Robin. Liking the amendments to the catch a duck game. The old shunter is sweet! I really love the color combination and design. Using the older pieces fits in perfectly for that weathered old look, and the dirty looking stickers are the icing on the cake. I really like it. Great video my friend.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
This is snowpiercer around and around the layout we can never stop, these are our revaluations 1,001 bricks long
Edit thank you mr Robin Hood
No problemo. I want it in a complete loop too!
Very good train build
Thank you very much!
Nice little mini train engine moc sir RobinHood
Indeed it is!
Looks awesome!!!
Love the build Robin! Taking load security into consideration....what about some chains to secure the shunter with the carriage?
Love the shunter!
Tip some big extra worklights on the roof? Front and back
Great idea. I tried it and it might look a little cluttered. I kinda like it better pure!
@@RobinHoodBricks if it looks better without go for it!😊🙌
I. Love. This. Build! What a great idea, Robin! One of my favorite aspects is embracing the use of more degraded pieces to illustrate a well-worn work history. There are two suggestions I would like to submit: First, these types of engines usually had some sort of an exhaust stack. In a similar small shunter, I used one of the cone pieces (which you used for decoration) as the exhaust stack. Place one atop the front section to give a better look. Second, if you remove the yellow ladder pieces from the depressed center flatcar, would the magnetic couplers be able to fit? I know that to be transported, sometimes parts do need to be removed, but it would be better to have them intact if they'll fit. IF they don't fit after removing the yellow ladders, consider lashing them down with chains or putting them in a crate atop one of the raised ends of the flatcar.
Thank. You. A. Ton. Great ideas too!
The Shunter is absolutely perfect! I might've used even more discolo(u)red bricks for the build but then again I have a seemingly endless supply of them...
The only thing that bothers me is the carriage underneath.. The yellow stripe really should go all the way around the two top levels with just simple plates or tiles. And on the bottom level I'd add a stop to each end of the rails there, perhaps just a 1x1 brick or something simple like that. Lastly, I personally would chain the Shunter in place at the front and back so it doesn't move around every time the train speeds up or slows down. In reality they are often put on wooden blocks to keep them in place but putting chains on either end might actually look even better.
Sadly all my chains are occupied for a future build. Good ideas there!
@@RobinHoodBricks Well, time to order more then. 😉
Perhaps you could have in the fairground, in the corner a narrow gauge railway. Just the station bit, as there are a few places in the UK like Hollycombe which is the largest collection of steam powered vehicles and rides in Britain. TechBrick resell TrixBrix narrow gauge track for the UK, and it would be nice to see more UK narrow gauge prototypes.
The mine train is on narrow gauge, although it isn't motorised!
@@RobinHoodBricks Nooo, that isn't narrow gauge. That's standard gauge, narrow gauge is he one used in the gold mine set
