I'd love to see an updated collection video! Love the train setup videos. Can't wait to see your trains going around your new setup in your Lego garage.
I have a lego train and I have it power functioned but when I add 2 horizon express carriages it instantly gets stuck how do your long trains pull all their cargo so we’ll lease?
From what I've seen of the original is that it's a much better set than this new one. I imagine they would go well together. If you have a limited budget it may be worth going for the Winter Holiday Train Station as that's a really nice set. The new Winter Holiday Train may get retired soon so that's worth taking into consideration.
This is a very nice video! I have 6 trains, and all of these trains you have! (I'm a little jealous😄🚂.) And I have lights on all 6 of them, and I installed all of them using your videos! (except 3677)
Not really, the trains I have need to work on the hilly tracks I do and the PF ones work well at that. I'm really hoping LEGO releases another City PF train soon.
These train collections are just amazing, I’m just looking for a roundhouse for you to purchase soon and keep going with your amazing content and the new train launches :)
DunksterBricks never loose hope my friend once u extend ur space and stuff u will hopefully find a spot to park all ur collection of trains in the one area :)
This is an awesome video but I do have 1 question. Your green steamer the 10205, how did you power it. I recently purchased one and would like to power it with power functions. Any help would be awesome
I made a small wagon with all the power functions kit built in, the wagon is basically built around the motor. Other people have asked about this before so I will try and get a video made about this specifically.
Dooglis McBricken, I recommend getting a ton of switch track packs (they're usually on sale at amazon for $12-$13 ish) and creating a railyard. Still a pain to get a hold of the straight track, though.
But if you want to go cheap, Walmart has these bins for $20 which are flat but wide and long that fit LEGO trains perfectly. Get some foam padding and bubble wrap to separate the trains and yeah.
EM's suggestions are good. I use plastic containers from Ikea and put all my trains and carriages in those, it's not perfect as some things need a bit of rebuilding afterwards. I find it's the most economical for space usage, I can put the containers in a cupboard or under a table until I need them for a video.
also for temporary storage I use the table tops under the main layout. Once Dunkton gets built up I should have more room ins the storage part as a lot of LEGO will be getting used in the town.
They're not compatible, and now they've brought in a Bluetooth system which is different again, as technology moves on, so do the control systems for the trains.
I love these videos, trains cruising around, the 4DBrix, switches, lights & sensors. Duncan, I have 1 question: Do you have 4DBrix switch motors? If so, can you tell me if you put a motor on the double crossover with an inside throw, can the train pass?
+King Louie Bricks good question, I’m putting all my motors on the outside of my crossovers at the moment. It would be a really tight fit to have them on the inside. I only have two motors at present but have another four on order along with a controller. When I get the extra motors I’ll make sure I include seeing if they fit on the inside in a video.
This video was made several months before that was released, you can check out my review of the set and tutorial on fitting lights to it if you like. I also have a review and tutorial on 7898.
I'm getting the Christmas train, I've put it by in cash converters in Shirley Southampton, I thought I'd tall you about it in case you didn't know about it, but I see you've got two already!!
Created my 2018 LEGO plan! This Christmas, I'm using my money, as well as Christmas money, to purchase a Horizon Express that's 207 Miles away from me. Future plans I don't wanna disclose since I already got one of my links to a HE cancelled.
And also about this one are you planing on getting the Hogwarts express and convert it to pf i did it on mine. With the receiver in the cab and battery in the tender. I am planing on modify the tender andput everytingh in there😀
Thaty really nice - you have mostly all of the special trains ;-) Is your layout always built up? - In this case - what's about dust? Are you cleaning the trains regularry? If yes, how are you doing?
I used to have the emerald night, but one day my cat knocked it off a shelf and it shattered into pieces, I dont know where a lot of them are, and i just lost my emerald night D:
Dunkster! Are you going to buy the Taj Mahal for your city? Tho, this is scary, 2007 Millennium Falcon, then 2008 Taj Mahal, but what's 2009? EMERALD NIGHT. If this does rerelease, I'm buying atleast 2.
I would certainly get a re-released Emerald Night if they did that, I wouldn't ave anywhere to display big sets like the MF or Taj Mahal and the only thing they could do in a video is be decoration, and that's some expensive decoration.
Duncan, that must have taken ages to film - swapping entire trains over is not a quick job, especially with all those wheels to get properly aligned to avoid derailments! It struck me that, as you have some duplicate trains which are identical except one has the single motor provided and the other has an extra motor that you've fitted, that it might be interesting to see whether the double motor can pull double the length of train, or whether it's not that simple. It's easy for me to suggest that, of course, because it's not my motors that might get burnt out in the valiant test ;-) John
It was difficult filming due to space issues, it ended up taking two nights and a morning to shoot and that was after setup. Maybe a hill climbing comparison with some wagons involved would be a good. That could be one for the future.
I have found that adding a second motor seams to more than double the pulling power of a train from my experience - I double motor most of my trains. I wonder if it is because the normally dummy second bogie of a Lego train has a lot of friction due to the technic pins used for the axles, whereas the rolling stock uses the free running steel pins for axles. This would suggest that the performance up hill will would not be more than doubled.
I also dry lubricate my axles with dry silicon - but beware - don't get any on the wheels or rails. From experience a lego train cannot even move itself against the friction of the trailing bogie when you get this stuff on the track.
Amy Morgan, the 2006 passenger train is a pain to convert to PF. The roof is way too low to fit the standard PF battery box and the main engine for some reason uses a 30 stud trainplate, which doesn't exist without the 2006 RC electronics. Though, I could definitely do it with the right money.
Endothermic Madness has summed it up quite nicely. The train isn't as adaptable as the newer PF ones and I wouldn't be able to use it much in some of the bigger track setups.
DunksterBricks, in fact, it's longer than the Maersk Train, Maersk train is a 28 stud plate with 2 long plates on both sides, totalling to 32. The 2006 ICE 1 is a 30 stud plate with a 6 stud overhang from the nose cone. 36 studs! I've tried to PF the train in LDD but the roof is just way too close to work. I mean, you make a segment that's like the 60051 roof to accommodate the battery box but it looks out of place. To get a good perspective, it uses the 7938 roof piece in white but 1 brick down on the 7938 train.
@Endothermic Madness, since you seem to have experience with the conversions, is it possible to use the baseplate/integrated AA battery box from the RC trains in combination with the PF IR Receiver and PF motor? I've always liked the look of the Crocodile 7898, and the robustness of AA batteries compared to AAA. So I've been curious about possibilities of integrating the two. Alas, I lack the 7898 (or 7897) at this time to attempt it myself.
icemorons, I recommend checking the voltage output of the Battery box on the Train bases (cause last thing you want is overvolting $25 of Powerfunctions). In theory, it would work to use the existing battery box, connect the IR receiver with a PF extension cord (one side has a 9V connector) and then the Motor to the Receiver. Could definitely work since the issue of the 2006 trains is they're faulty motors. Though, one thing to consider is that the Battery box doubles as the receiver but the IR receiver should block out any type of transmitting. Make sure to take the out the batteries out of the 2006 train remote to prevent any attempted electronic signaling from occurring.
I'd love to see an updated collection video! Love the train setup videos. Can't wait to see your trains going around your new setup in your Lego garage.
All the trains are getting unpacked slowly, I’ll do my best to get something filmed once that’s done.
Keep it growing - love the Emerald night customs
well, they've retired the Heavy-Haul train so maybe a new train will be released in June '18. That could be another addition.
Wow nice LEGO train collection
Since the moc of the emerald night is red, shouldn’t it be called the ruby night , and the blue one be the sapphire night?
Another reason why you are the best LEGO train guy! Thanks so much.
Thanks Joe, I'm sure there are more impressive collections than mine out there ;)
That is a might fine collection of rolling stock you have there! Well done
Can we have a complete montage of trains going round track?
Awesome! I think the Lone Ranger one is my favorite! Thanks for showcasing them all, and with set numbers.
+Master Builder Dad The Constitution is a really cool engine, plenty of character.
Wow, your collection has been growing intensively, nice job!
AlmightyArjen, hi!
It has come a long way, I just need to get a more organised way to store them now rather than having them all in Ikea buckets.

how did you buy extra carriages. Please tell.
I have a lego train and I have it power functioned but when I add 2 horizon express carriages it instantly gets stuck how do your long trains pull all their cargo so we’ll lease?
Great collection !! Be well. Thanks for sharing.
thanks Jack :)
I have the original holiday train, and I was thinking the new one would go well with it. Should I get it?
From what I've seen of the original is that it's a much better set than this new one. I imagine they would go well together. If you have a limited budget it may be worth going for the Winter Holiday Train Station as that's a really nice set. The new Winter Holiday Train may get retired soon so that's worth taking into consideration.
If you can only control up to 8 power functions trains then how do u have 19?
This is a very nice video! I have 6 trains, and all of these trains you have! (I'm a little jealous😄🚂.) And I have lights on all 6 of them, and I installed all of them using your videos! (except 3677)
That's really great!
I love your city😴😍😌😏
Great Vid Dunc! It's nice to see the extent of your entire collection!!
Thanks AlhayezRC
7:22 My favorite lego cargo train 3677!! It looks like finnish Dv 12 locomotive. In my profile picture
WOW those are but many trains. I only have one trains.
Excellent collection. Do you have any interest in acquiring some of the 9v trains.
Not really, the trains I have need to work on the hilly tracks I do and the PF ones work well at that. I'm really hoping LEGO releases another City PF train soon.
DunksterBricks, 9V PF conversions?? Lol, I'd happily create an LDD file of a converted 9V train to PF.
How long have you been collecting trains for to get so many?
Very nice collection. Love your videos. Keep them coming!
cheers icemorons :)
These train collections are just amazing, I’m just looking for a roundhouse for you to purchase soon and keep going with your amazing content and the new train launches :)
I don't think I have enough space at the moment for a round house but it would be nice to get one eventually.
DunksterBricks never loose hope my friend once u extend ur space and stuff u will hopefully find a spot to park all ur collection of trains in the one area :)

Sounds exciting. Looking forward to that video.
How do you store your trains? I can't figure out a good system.
He keeps them under the tables on a little shelf look at 10:06

Nice video, thank you - glad to someone else with "to many" trains as my wife would put it.
Nice video
thanks :)
Hey, I have a question: Does the older trains, like the Cargo Train Deluxe, Drive on the same Channels than the newer trains?
They're not compatible, and now they've brought in a Bluetooth system which is different again, as technology moves on, so do the control systems for the trains.
I love these videos, trains cruising around, the 4DBrix, switches, lights & sensors. Duncan, I have 1 question: Do you have 4DBrix switch motors? If so, can you tell me if you put a motor on the double crossover with an inside throw, can the train pass?

What is the music please
My favorite is still the 2006 cargo train deluxe
You should get set 7897 I strongly recommend
This video was made several months before that was released, you can check out my review of the set and tutorial on fitting lights to it if you like. I also have a review and tutorial on 7898.
hey can you do step by step how to builds on the mallard pls
Your layout is tiny but yet you still follow the trains - there's no need too; just stand in one spot and swivel :)
I'm getting the Christmas train, I've put it by in cash converters in Shirley Southampton, I thought I'd tall you about it in case you didn't know about it, but I see you've got two already!!

I have looked into it before but other projects are taking priority.
I m from Russia, l don t understand oll ,but I like it! Sorry about my English language
добро пожаловать. I'm glad you like it.
Thaty really nice - you have mostly all of the special trains ;-)
Is your layout always built up? - In this case - what's about dust? Are you cleaning the trains regularry? If yes, how are you doing?
I used to have the emerald night, but one day my cat knocked it off a shelf and it shattered into pieces, I dont know where a lot of them are, and i just lost my emerald night D:
the hotizon express is my favourite
It is a good looking train :)
DunksterBricks but not the price😨
CrippingLorris me too !!
*Me too! :D*
PolskiSzczureq Dawniej Marcin Brenda 😂
The answer is to much
Just kidding would love to have them all xD nice video
lol, for that size of room it is too much. I hardly had room to move about and film.
Dunkster! Are you going to buy the Taj Mahal for your city? Tho, this is scary, 2007 Millennium Falcon, then 2008 Taj Mahal, but what's 2009? EMERALD NIGHT. If this does rerelease, I'm buying atleast 2.

Last time i told you how many trains i have it was 9. Now it is
14
14 is a pretty amazing count!
you have a more train
How did you get a red steam train and a blue one?
You can see how I did that here: th-cam.com/video/mb3vZh3VIj4/w-d-xo.html
And now, destroy them all and build MOCs out of it^^
I'll just buy some extra pieces and build MOCs out of those ;)
DEEEZ NUTS
Wow
mmm, TGV :)
I have 14
some of the tracks are not lego
True, some of the track used in my layout in this room are 3D printed by two companies, 4DBrix and TrixBrix. LEGO only have a limited track selection.
好多火車
