*I will not make Thomas the Tank Engine.* As mentioned in this video, I have no interest in making one. I'm sure plenty of other people have made him, though, so definitely search & browse around if you want to see some!
If you have plans to make any more steam tank engines, I would suggest either doing the GWR Pannier Tank or the 14XX Tank. They're very nice looking and pose the possibility of a simple looking yet complex design when building them. I've constructed a 14XX with ideas from Scot-Nick's design and it looks nice on my layout, but I know how you like being original and may want to do your own. Happy building ;)
DalekSupremeWithCheese Have you seen the one that was on Lego Ideas a while back? That 14xx and autotrailer was really impressive and based off the one on the South Devon Railway!
I have to say I love the idea of artificial limitation in regards to the types of pieces you use, from my experience I've found that my best MOC's and ideas come when I'm presented with limited methods of achieving what I want. It's when you're presented with those situations that you start to think outside the box in respect to the implementation / use of bricks. Love the videos , keep up the good work!
You could probably rebuild this one day with the new powered up parts so you can control this train via Bluetooth. Once Lego has released all the other powered up parts later this year that is.
I feel like one very small, quick change you could make to improve the overall accuracy would be to replace the grey technic stopper pieces at the end of the connecting rods at the front with yellow ones. That would be a nice nod to the yellow ends of the cylinders on the "real" model. Love this like everything you do Jang! You're a constant inspiration to us Lego mortals.
You're correct in saying that Thomas the Tank Engine is overdone, but it's rarely done well. I'd love to see someone with your building skill try to build Thomas!
I think it looks fantastic, well done. Would you consider putting stickers on the large boxy rear of the tank engine? perhaps just to streamline or detail it a wee bit more
Great build! I love trains, and this one in particular was one of my favorites. Quick question, would you ever consider building the Casey Jr. Circus Train? You know, the train from Dumbo that got turned into a ride at Disneyland? That's my favorite train from my childhood and would love to see it in Lego form, however I do not possess the pieces or the skill. I know you are busy but it is such a fun design and would go well with this train. Anyways, great video as always, Jang!
Oh man. I remember I used to watch the 1991 animated movie of the Little Engine that Could all the time when I was little. I loved that movie. I still have the old VHS somewhere.
I think it's great, I think it's great, I think it's great. Really good MOC of something that I haven't really seen people build much of, mostly accurate with very few details off, and it's cool you found a relatively recognizable steam engine that's not Thomas, not that Thomas isn't cool. Awesome and super nostalgic build, keep up the great work!
Nice! Good job. I don't remember this story from my own childhood but I'm reading it with my 2-year old son. He loves the story. Especially the girafs. Where are those? ;-)
Incredible blast form the past. I can still remember my mom reading this book to me when I was very little and I had to send this video to her. Great job as always Jang! (You even got the all important clown)
I think this is a really great build and looks pretty accurate to the source material without the face of course. This would be a pretty cool model for anyones lego city
Incredible build! It's immediately identifiable, shows off with it's moving parts, and it's a completely unexpected subject! Any thoughts about some sort of face decal(s) to put on the little guy's smoke stack?
This new Lego MOC Train might inspire me to make my own little engine that could train along with the rolling stock and other engines featured in the story.
What an adorable build. I don't know the story this one is based on, but I think It works just as fine as a regular vehicle in the city. I did google it but... Faces on vehicles just creep me out, so I'm glad you left that out.
Ooh Jang, but Thomas offers so many possibilities, Model Thomas, CGI Thomas RWS Thomas RWS Thomas Mark II E2 Tank Engine.. They're endless and much more realistic than the little engine that could!
Yet another amazing build! Love these types of videos, and it makes me wanna just spend loads of money on pieces(even though I can't, and have nowhere near the talent to build anything recognizable)
I normally watch your Lego Space and Lego Star Wars reviews, but this was an entertaining video and an impressive MOC. Interesting seeing the time lapse build footage for the insights into the changes you had to make. What's the red and black locomotive we see at about 7:06? An official Lego set or one of your MOCs? It's one I wouldn't mind having in my own collection! :-)
Im the exact opposite. I think steam locomotives are endlessly fascinating and find diesel \electric engines of today to be kind of mundane and drab. But everyone has different things they find interesting. Nice build! :)
Wonder if you could make the little steam locomotive from the story song puff n toot. Kiddie choo choo train. The design is similar to Casey Junior summer camp special though
It must be challenging to create a locomotive from scratch, nice job! And it works well, it doesn't need to go very fast as you said in the video, it's just right, you've got talent for Legos, that's for sure!
Now, I saw "tank engine MOC" and immediately started freaking out with the blue in the thumbnail. It's not my favorite blue tank engine, but it's definitely a memorable one, and I fondly remember watching the cartoon way back when. They remade it in CGI with a caboose voiced by that guy who voiced Kronk in "The Emperor's New Groove". Wasn't a huge fan of that iteration. Do like how well this turned out, and the challenge adhered to for this particular engine. Shame you aren't going to go about Thomas (or Percy perhaps, could use a little more green around the railroad), but I bet you'd pull him off in fine style if you did. Also, excellent job with getting the pistons to move the way they do. Adds a special bit of that charm from the animated feature to it. I like that.
Hey, now that you have two small steam locomotives, why don't you build a larger one for freight or passenger service? I suggest a 4-6-2 Pacific, as the type was used for both passenger and freight. Some sort of articulated steam locomotive would be awesome too, although they were used exclusively for heavy freight.
amazing. I love the little piston set up at the front it really ties the whole thing together. and even its its not source accurate its a very good representation .
If you want a real challenge, but a fun locomotive, try doing Casey Jr. and the rest of circus train from Dumbo. I think it would be interesting to see how well you represent the character.
toots . yay. i still have a autographed copy when i got mine as a child :) i think i can, i think i can. i know i can. hem. you captured the essence of toots, and that is good enough for me:) i also just subbed to your channel.
im actually the other way around, I think diesel/electric engines are kind of mundane and boring and that steam locomotives are really fascinating and interesting.
OM frickin Train, it looks just like the train from the book. Now all you need is to create the custom rolling stock from the book that goes with it and you have a complete custom built Little engine that could set. Try doing the Casey Jr circus train next...
Love it! It may be simpler than the others, but I think this is my favorite of your train builds! It's just so cute and charming as it chugs around your layout!
*I will not make Thomas the Tank Engine.* As mentioned in this video, I have no interest in making one. I'm sure plenty of other people have made him, though, so definitely search & browse around if you want to see some!
That's fair enough, the face is most important feature and that's never going to be quite right in Lego!
As much as I'm a hardcore Thomas fan. I respect your decision of not building one.
Beside, Making a Lego Thomas is hard.
If you have plans to make any more steam tank engines, I would suggest either doing the GWR Pannier Tank or the 14XX Tank. They're very nice looking and pose the possibility of a simple looking yet complex design when building them. I've constructed a 14XX with ideas from Scot-Nick's design and it looks nice on my layout, but I know how you like being original and may want to do your own. Happy building ;)
DalekSupremeWithCheese Have you seen the one that was on Lego Ideas a while back? That 14xx and autotrailer was really impressive and based off the one on the South Devon Railway!
DalekSupremeWithCheese british locomotives are ridiculously difficult to replicate in lego tho

I would love to see that "Dumbo-Train" too!
As well, realy good job you've done with this one!
I predict this to be one of your most popular videos, it just strikes me as something completely out of Left field
you should enter this on Lego Ideas. I'd vote for it.
I'll be honest, this is really good
pretty fun!
if I had more space, I d do the circus train like the old 'little people' model.
that would rock!
I think I can I think I can I think I can I absolutely love this jang. This takes me back to my childhood
If you worked as a designer at lego, pretty much everyone who does lego would go broke buying all your amazing builds
Oh man. I remember I used to watch the 1991 animated movie of the Little Engine that Could all the time when I was little. I loved that movie. I still have the old VHS somewhere.
I'm absolutely obsessed with this build! I love it!!! Great job!
I found watching the bogey wheels at the front faaar more satisfying than i should.
Nice build.
I think it's great, I think it's great, I think it's great. Really good MOC of something that I haven't really seen people build much of, mostly accurate with very few details off, and it's cool you found a relatively recognizable steam engine that's not Thomas, not that Thomas isn't cool. Awesome and super nostalgic build, keep up the great work!
So nice :) You should build a big water tower in your city
Nice! Good job. I don't remember this story from my own childhood but I'm reading it with my 2-year old son. He loves the story. Especially the girafs. Where are those? ;-)
can you please think about building a museum for your city?
Incredible blast form the past. I can still remember my mom reading this book to me when I was very little and I had to send this video to her. Great job as always Jang! (You even got the all important clown)
Okay as much as i love the sleeked out Rail Riders you've been making, i think this is my instant favourite. It's so kiddie & cute & adorable.
This was one of my absolute favourite books from my childhood, and seeing rendered in LEGO form(by you no less) makes me really happy! Excellent work!
Awesome, and thanks!
0:00 funny thing Takara Tomy used this song for a Thomas Diecaat toy commercial in 2009
Very interesting and creative! I still remember the book, and this represented it very well! Really awesome, great job!
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
-Jang while building the Little Engine That Could
Haha, seriously!
You should add this to LEGO Ideas! This creation is absolutely wonderful and I would love to buy the set if it was a production set.
Yes, that's a great idea
James Poisso Same!
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can
Looks like something that is just fun to have an a layout. Thanks for sharing!!!
The little MOC that could?:)
It's kinda goofy, but I like it- very original 😄
This should be a LEGO ideas set!
Great Jang! I am also going to make my custom train😀
It would be cool if you made a film for the book, using this build, this is my favorite lego train I've ever seen to date, great job, Jang!
I think this is a really great build and looks pretty accurate to the source material without the face of course. This would be a pretty cool model for anyones lego city
Crzypengu Should be put on Lego Ideas!
Incredible build! It's immediately identifiable, shows off with it's moving parts, and it's a completely unexpected subject! Any thoughts about some sort of face decal(s) to put on the little guy's smoke stack?
Man, I wish jang could've built Thomas. He could've even built Percy or an even smaller character like Bill or Ben.
This new Lego MOC Train might inspire me to make my own little engine that could train along with the rolling stock and other engines featured in the story.
You should..
or maybe you could make casey jr
That's such a great build, I've got to try that now!
What an adorable build. I don't know the story this one is based on, but I think It works just as fine as a regular vehicle in the city. I did google it but... Faces on vehicles just creep me out, so I'm glad you left that out.
Ooh Jang, but Thomas offers so many possibilities, Model Thomas, CGI Thomas RWS Thomas RWS Thomas Mark II E2 Tank Engine.. They're endless and much more realistic than the little engine that could!
Try a pannier tank engine (NO THOMAS IS NOT A PANNIER he is an e2 from the L.B.&.S.C.R., a pannier tank engine is in the G.W.R. and L.N.E.R.).
Duck is a pannier tank engine.
right you are.
I really love the design and how smooth this train runs
Yet another amazing build! Love these types of videos, and it makes me wanna just spend loads of money on pieces(even though I can't, and have nowhere near the talent to build anything recognizable)
I loved that book, the design looks great in LEGO and it makes me very happy to see it running through your city :D
this is really great jang! i love your custom builds!
I love the train reminds of my childhood LOL I'm 10!
Your OLD
Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!
I normally watch your Lego Space and Lego Star Wars reviews, but this was an entertaining video and an impressive MOC. Interesting seeing the time lapse build footage for the insights into the changes you had to make.
What's the red and black locomotive we see at about 7:06? An official Lego set or one of your MOCs? It's one I wouldn't mind having in my own collection! :-)
0:27 JANGBRICKS:build of the little blue tank engine. Me: Thomas
Same
Im the exact opposite. I think steam locomotives are endlessly fascinating and find diesel \electric engines of today to be kind of mundane and drab. But everyone has different things they find interesting. Nice build! :)
Alex Hollst same
Soooo true!
When you finish the city and all of its buildings, do you think you'll work on things like texture? As in, putting debris in alleyways and such.
Most definitely!
Very nice work! I recognized it immediately! And, I like this new camera angle for the build! I'm looking forward to more MOCs!
Wonder if you could make the little steam locomotive from the story song puff n toot. Kiddie choo choo train. The design is similar to Casey Junior summer camp special though
Awesome build!
It must be challenging to create a locomotive from scratch, nice job! And it works well, it doesn't need to go very fast as you said in the video, it's just right, you've got talent for Legos, that's for sure!
I think it's great that you're adding all of these new locomotives, Jang! Keep up the amazing work! :)
Hey jang, I think you should add a sports arena in your city, thank you!
Soviet Russia I think you should free the market
OOOOOOOOOOOO
In Soviet Russia, sports arena adds you!

Awesome, Jang! I think I can make a train like that, too! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can... nope, ran out of pieces. :P

Some sort of articulated steam locomotive would be awesome too, although they were used exclusively for heavy freight.
Jang, in my opinion this is one of you best MOCs ever!!!
This just made my day
Great job JANG! I remember reading that book when I was little too. Did you ever read Mike Muligans Steam Shovel? That would be a neat LEGO build
I loved that book when I was a kid!
I think that this would be a good contestor for Lego Ideas. You should try posting it.
jang I copy every thing you do your my favorite ever
You can still make Thomas the Tank Engine.
I Bet the Fans will Love it!
Nice train. I love it. I like Thomas and friends.
Who's your favorite train?
His Fluffiness I like the steam team
amazing. I love the little piston set up at the front it really ties the whole thing together. and even its its not source accurate its a very good representation .
love The MOC
I love the intro music.
If you want a real challenge, but a fun locomotive, try doing Casey Jr. and the rest of circus train from Dumbo. I think it would be interesting to see how well you represent the character.
Great shaping on the front of the train!
toots . yay. i still have a autographed copy when i got mine as a child :)
i think i can, i think i can. i know i can. hem. you captured the essence of toots, and that is good enough for me:) i also just subbed to your channel.
Jang I have a idea that u might like. U should build a race track in your city
sweet build as always!
The little engine that could (very easily after it was built)
im actually the other way around, I think diesel/electric engines are kind of mundane and boring and that steam locomotives are really fascinating and interesting.
Same!
Diesel electric locos just have no soul
Great job making this Lego train!
It looks so good I wish I was as good at him with legos
This moc is very beautiful!
Could you review more atlantis sets?I would appreciate it.
Plz make Thomas soon!
Jang, you should put this on Lego idea/Cusoo so those like me that don't have those parts can build it
El Wolfie HD That sounds like a brilliant idea! I would 100% support it and buy it if it got approved!
OM frickin Train, it looks just like the train from the book. Now all you need is to create the custom rolling stock from the book that goes with it and you have a complete custom built Little engine that could set. Try doing the Casey Jr circus train next...
Whoever has read the book and seen all three versions of the classic tale, !906, 1991 and 2011, please give two toots...
Tyler Kane I have. So... yea.
That is because the water tank i hidden in with the coal bunker. In the back
This is amazing! If you wanted, you could easily start this up as a set idea on Lego Ideas (I would definitely support it!)!
D'aaaawww! That's actually incredibly adorable!
This looks great
this is easily my favorite train moc u have done 😄😆😆😃😃👍👍👍👍
Instantly recognizable! I am extremely impressed in how you pulled out all of the aspects from the book! Like!
+Gideon F Thanks!
Love it! It may be simpler than the others, but I think this is my favorite of your train builds! It's just so cute and charming as it chugs around your layout!
Hahah thanks, glad you like it :)
If you get a chance, you should make the little red caboose
You should put eyes on the train :)
Well this was a pleasant surprise!
"I was running low on important parts". *Me when I try to build a Micro-Scale Ant*
I'm glad you thought you could build that!
This makes me want to show you the one I made in LDD.
