Hey guys, I know I’m VERY late to say this, but I messed up on a few points. For example, I meant to say 1187’s tender could hold 15,000 POUNDS of coal, not tons. Furthermore, I left out how 1187 is known as the Johnstown Engine, after the infamous flood in that city in 1889. 1187 was not present for that event, but at least three of her H3 siblings were there and were damaged beyond repair. I’ve decided to reupload this video at some point with better audio, but I don’t know when that will be. Thanks for tuning in! Cheers!
Very awesome video! Btw you can control the speed of your engine with the powered up app. And I would love to see some of your other engines, they look really good
Thanks for the info! I have them arranged in the pattern they are because, in my experience, that’s the way that works best for traversing turns and corners.
Lovely H3! She is a good engine irl and you captured her well in lego. Definitely a coal load can help hide that battery box. Love the bucket handle and fez bell it is a classic. Only thing i can say other wise, don't let my former pennsy friend hear you say dog house, Those are Monkey boxes on the pennsy!
Thank you! I tried to make my LEGO model of 1187 as close to the real thing as I could. I'm already thinking of several modifications I can make to the locomotive, including a tender rework. I've never heard of dog houses being referred to as "Monkey Boxes" on the Pennsy, so that's new info for me! But I have heard of Pennsy crewman referring to equipment with non-standard names before, such as how they referred to switcher engines as "shifters".
If you want to have better control over your loco using powered up try pi bricks it’s made by Lego train enthusiasts and battery powered bricks has a great tutorial on how to use it. It will give you smooth and controlled acceleration.
This is very high quality content! You 100% deserve more subs. Ps: where did you get that design for the freight cars? Or did you design them yourself?
Thank you! Those freight cars were designed by Tony Sava. I bought instructions for them from a website called Bonahoom Builds, but that website is now defunct. Tony Sava now sells his instructions on a website called Brick Train Depot. You can find them there!
Damn I didn't know 15,000 tons of coal could fit in that tender.😂😂😂😂 He's hauling around an entire freight train work of coal in his tender, it must have a pocket dimension in there or somethin

I wanna see more of your other PRR Mocs because this was awesome
Awesome moc! Im not a big fan of American locomotives, but I cant deny this thing looks great. Good job!
That model looks amazing. Keep up the great work. 👍
Here’s the thing about blind drive wheels they are always in the center of the locomotive regardless of how many drive wheel is there are

Thanks for letting me know about PyBricks. I'll give Battery Powered Bricks' video a watch!
