At some point there will just be one big endless train on each of the tracks with no break in between. On the passenger loop it'll probably happen when you add the third train to the mix.. 😅
@@micabryant4513I think that depends on the reliability of the connection. You would need at least three, better four motors, distributed evenly across the train, and they all have to run at about the same speed, otherwise the train will derail in the corners. If you have some motors that received the signal and others didn't, some run at 3 and others at 7, I think you could run into problems.
@@RobinHoodBricks I think most of it is fine, the nose just feels a bit duplo ish with it being 1 piece as opposed to the red train which was brick built
You should add a mail car on your orange and blue passenger train like you did on your white train because your white train has 7 cars, while the other one only has 6 cars.
There is just no need for a pantograph on a control car. Very creative, perfect and rational build btw! What i would really like is to see a OBB railjet type of train in lego!
Funny, I did this to my 60197 locomotive a few months back, but with the seating and a restroom at the back and the battery box and driver at the front
Really like the cab to passenger car mod! That makes a lot of sense to me and brings it more in line with the white train design! The way that they raced each other on the track makes me think that maybe the white one's design is just a bit more aerodynamic and leads it to gain a bit more speed, especially as it gets closer to the other one by drafting (just like race cars do!) and hence why you have to adjust frequently lol I do want to see a derailment, but at the same time I feel like it could be soooo messy in your city!
Thank you for these instructions! I've used them to convert both ends of my 60197 as I use a 9v motor and without a battery box there's no need for a big engine room above floor level.
You might also like another video I did for the white train, with two long based mods that are equally doable on the 60197 train. You just need to change the colours over!
I agree. But the easy solution is to remove those pantographs (the bits on the roofs that are meant to make contact with overhead wires) from the engines. Since these sets were designed to look like pantograph trains using overhead wiring for power, those double decker cars are way out of place for such a train. Their rooftops would be scraping those overhead power lines, LOL!
@@Eidolon1andOnly without pantographs, it still looks wierd because this type of train is a EMU (electric multiple unit) and most EMUs have all cars with same length and height (front and rear cars are sometimes different)
@@modelyh0 Here's a photo of a train engine of similar style that is not a Pantograph Train: s.hdnux.com/photos/01/02/64/21/17515599/3/rawImage.jpg And here's a photo of a passenger train with a single dome car (the type of double decker in his trains): www.alaskarails.org/fp/passenger/JC-501.jpg So it wouldn't be unreasonable that a train could have a dome car but be pulled by an engine as in the first photo.
@@Eidolon1andOnly That's the eurostar running on obsolete 3rd rail in Britain some time ago. It swithed to overhead wires and pantographs as it used them in France since the beginning.
Excellent video, really well explained. This train started me off on my Lego train journey 2 years ago. I now have 5 trains and now buying bricks from brick link to move onto customisation which your videos are a massive help.
Watching your train vids makes me feel like a little boy again staring for hours on end at my Lego books (catalogues). I have yet to get my first train
Fair enough. I have a mix of Power up, Power functions and older electric so I have a number of locos with no power save when I swap electric powered truck on them and run them that way. Cheers!
That's a relativlely simple but very effective mod to the aft engine car. Although I have to say, the cargo train keeps stealing the show when the trains are moving around, and the pump wagon racing behind it is just the icing on the cake.
This is absolutely great Robin. I'm definitely doing the cab car retrofit to it, along with the club car add-on. Your trains are the best! Great video my friend, keep up the awesome work.
Excellent mod. Am planning to do the same myself. Was thinking of buying an unbundled carriage off ebay but nice to see that this only needs a handful of extra parts.
@Robin thank you for the great video and the detailed explanation! The only thing I couldn't find is, how to replace the motor block with regular axes. Could you please help me with that?
IC1 train in Europe very similar to the Bullet Trains in Japan, 2x 8 cars, joined together but spilt further down the line after leaving Tokyo or other locations, worth a look at them too.
A derailment will happen by a corner, when one train hits the other train and knocks the back of that other train off the track (presumably on its side) and then the back car will hit something alongside the track, detaching the magnets, and then the other train will hit it and get stopped when the back car hits something else, either pushing the engine off the track or just stopping because it hit the barrier of the back car, so finally the train that lost its back car will crash into it. Good luck stopping that robin
The Cab Car looks fantastic! Looks part of the original set. And smart to change to power functions...doesn't make sense to have one unique power system for no reason...but future sets will all use powered-up I believe :(
The only ideas I have are this conversion and the previous double decker. You could also do my white train's dome / observation car for this train as well!
I have an idea so you don’t have to have 2 trains running on the same track! You could have a separate track running around your fair ground and farm! I would probably cost a lot of money since you ballast all your track but it would look very cool. Also you could have a station at your fair ground and a few smaller stations dotted around the rest of the track! I think it would look awesome! Great video! 👍👍👍😁
Now you just need an old steamer with ancient passenger carriage to drive tourists around :D But I do like you mod of the rear engine carriage. might want to put that power tack off antenna down flat, because usually trains have only one of those up, which one depending on which way they are going :)
@@RobinHoodBricks The more technical term for the locomotive is power car, because it's like the HST trains, as they are fixed formation. In fixed formations I call the power unit a power car. Fixed formation means the train's coach formation stays the same throughout its working day, as opposed to the more traditional separate locomotive and coaches. There must be four different voltages on your tram system if you have four pantographs on your tram!
Robin, this is a great change. I did not see in the vidio what did you do for the train motor> The power up and power functions have different connectors to the battery boxes.
There is only one motor in this train, at the front. The new motor is Power Functions to match the new battery box. The back has just a dummy set of wheels like 60051!
Hallo. Just a good idea to Make to different end Cars. Loks very good. Ist's good to See the Transformation from a Engine car to a passenger car with driving compartment. You are great. Greatings by Clemens Form Vienna in Austria
This looks awesome! I'm actually thinking about getting this passenger train for Christmas with the remote control and train tracks. Would you recommend it?
if I get the chance I wanna do what your doing but find a way to make it 8 wide as I love this color design just want it a bit wider to match my 2 other engines
Mrs Hood says, no. For Amazon I think you use the link and then shop as normal. I think the magic happens in the background. If you can tell me roughly what you bought, or when, I can see if it made it. No pressure though!
I did on my tram and on my cargo locomotives where the distance isn't that long but not on my longer passenger trains, although that is technically possible. Or you can do it with a second battery but that seems too much for me!
It is hard to change the Passenger Train from Powered Up to Power Functions for the fact that you have to get more space for the addition of the IR-Receiver and you can’t use the same train motor.
Good idea Robin to convert the rear train. I think it looks good and fits the other part of the train. The two trains are now running well together. But I think the 2 characters on the last wagon of the freight train are really funny. I love it when they pumping relentlessly :-)
the first car right next to the engine car doesn’t need a gangway to the engine like the intercity class 91 and then add a second cab at the back end of the engine car like the class 91
Definitely. I like it. It looks great from all around so I'll put it in the same line as Fast Food Corner so we can see the back next to the rail line as well!
I agree, to an extent. Cost is a factor but what I like about PF is the remote control aspect. It's good fun and I'm not tied to a single big dial. Also lighting I can hardwire without it dimming at slow speeds. Yup, it's Power Functions for me!
The cab car could also be like Amtrak's F40PHs with a cab car and baggage in where the engine was. You could do it with a garage door or one of those doors on firetrucks that are gray and red. Try to find one in yellow or navy. Their nickname is cabbage
And also same with the intercity class 91 where the mk4 coach driving van trailer is used for storage but it doesn’t have big great doors on the side so it looks almost the same as the motor unit but the motor unit has a blunt end cab and the driving trailer has a gangway on the back
I like your modified cab car, but I think the pantograph does not make sense. It does not have a motor (neither in reality nor in the LEGO world) so why would it need a pantograph. If you look at the Ice 2 again you’ll see it also doesn’t have one. If you want to add something on top I would go for some antennas, they could be for cellphones or communication between train and other railway workers.
@@RobinHoodBricks ya know when I do make my own cab car, I might just remove that grey/dark blue symbol, and have the whole cab car with windows and extra seating, like most german passenger trains I’ve seen since childhood, plus the wheels I would change the one where the motor use to be and and change it to a boogie and make the bottom part a little bigger
I was looking for yellow hazard stripped bricks and they seem to be in short supply. Then I remembered your monorail 🤣 but since watching your channel and seeing the hot tea technique ive gained a bit of love for stickers. So problem was solved.
At some point there will just be one big endless train on each of the tracks with no break in between. On the passenger loop it'll probably happen when you add the third train to the mix.. 😅
Sounds about right, haha!
Ooh, a third train... Can't wait!
Possibly 2003high speed passenger train 🚆🤔,or 2007 passenger train,wouldn’t be surprised,they are both really similar🚇🚆

Omg WE NEED THAT. WE. NEED. A. THIRD. TRAIN. ON. THE. PASSENGER. LINE. LOL
I think this is a cleaver use of the limited space in train. And of course always fun to watch LEGO trains alive in a wonderful city layout!
Thanks, my friend!
My favorite part of all of your train vids, is listening to your commentary while you film and man the controls.
I'm probably rambling as it's an absolute panic!
You should put the little pumping car in front of the cargo train like their trying to outrun it.
😆
Good idea.
I tried this but it often derails as you need a stiff bar and it doesn't have enough weight. Behind on string works flawlessly!
Displaying all the pieces you used is so helpful! Thank you, Robin ^^
Glad it was helpful. I screwed up and had to do it twice!
When this set came out: “It’s ugly”
When Robin cleans it up: ,’-) [I really like it!]
It's a lot better set than first impressions. I really didn't like it when I first saw it!
@@RobinHoodBricks I think most of it is fine, the nose just feels a bit duplo ish with it being 1 piece as opposed to the red train which was brick built

Much appreciated!
Awesome MOC! Great job! And you’ll 100% get to 1 million!

You should add a mail car on your orange and blue passenger train like you did on your white train because your white train has 7 cars, while the other one only has 6 cars.
the the shot of the trains going through the city at the end sounds so soothing, i love it
I agree. Although it is a bit noisier in real life!
I have one of the sets, and I have a amtrak styled cab car, from the diner car.
I used the Amtrak colouring for my subway. It looks very cool!
You should put a couple of brightly coloured studs among the ballast next to the minigolf as If they were lost balls
Yes, this is on the list!
There is just no need for a pantograph on a control car. Very creative, perfect and rational build btw! What i would really like is to see a OBB railjet type of train in lego!
I may take it off but I do like the symmetry!
@@RobinHoodBricks looking great both way!
Funny, I did this to my 60197 locomotive a few months back, but with the seating and a restroom at the back and the battery box and driver at the front
I added a bathroom at the back in April. It uses all the space too.
@@BinkBricks nice
Sounds about right!
Your mods make the train look much better at the non-driving end, well done! And good to see that you have regained control of both the trains, Ha ha
Thank you very much. Yes this is much easier to control, so the plan worked. I'm too uncoordinated to make it fool proof though!

Neither of them were on full speed during that. It's too hard to film and keep them apart at full speed!
Looks great. I wish there was more seating/details in the cab. Thank you. Loved the video!
Many thanks. I'll be doing the same to the brand new train very soon!
I also made windows in the loc with the engine. Thanks.
Very welcome!
And I added light orange tiles in the middle of the roofs.
Thank you for these instructions! I've used them to convert both ends of my 60197 as I use a 9v motor and without a battery box there's no need for a big engine room above floor level.
Excellent!
Looks nice! It kinda reminds me to the German ICE 2 where the Railcar is slightly Longer than the Engine.
Yes this worked out very nicely!
Lovely conversion on that train and great control driving both of them!
Glad you enjoyed it. You can't beat a bit of danger!
8:49 Robin hood bricks I think your train looks amazing so far

Be careful as all this started when I bought the white train. I hadn't bought a brick for over 25 years at that point!
If Robin will continue making more train videos, he will need to change his channel name to “Robin Train Bricks”!

Thanks again!
I love that cabcar!
the high speed passenger train can't go to high speed now haha!
It can, trains like ICE 2 or RailJet are push-pull that means loco is on only one side and it's still a high speed EMU
@@modelyh0 I meant it can't go that fast because it's following another train
Well it only ever had one motor. They can go faster but it is harder for me to control them whilst filming!

Doglover 33 It’s kind of like the train is about to perform a pitting manoeuvre 😆
That's why I need to remain vigilant and have only one controller for them both!
The pump wagon is still the best of them all! :D
My finest hour. And all in about thirty pieces!
Would you consider making a refrigerated goods van for your cargo train
Maybe I am. Cough cough!

Any idea where you are going to put the new police station ?

How did you build the custom bogie? the non-motor version.
See the official instructions, online, for either 60098 or 60051's cab car. It's just train wheels on a technic brick setup. Enjoy!
@@RobinHoodBricks I see, so I was using a modified version of the non-motor bogie from 60198, but it doesn’t have the nice rounded suspension :(

There isn’t enough room for another line
I also have an idea so Robin doesn't have to have 2 trains running on the same track: Only run one train per track.

I had to google it. Wow, that's a whopper of a train!
@@RobinHoodBricks Thank you. It was a very old diesel train.
Do you have the heavy tow truck 60081?
Nope!
You said that a lot of these are loosely based of of ICEs, well the red passenger train seems to be loosely based off of these Copenhagen trains.
Good to know!
man you need a keybrick one and brick automation
My battery boxes are already rechargeable. As for automation, I currently only have two loops and no sidings so there's not much to automate!
Looking good. Do you think you will get the new Police station modular?
Definitely. I like it. It looks great from all around so I'll put it in the same line as Fast Food Corner so we can see the back next to the rail line as well!
I wish Lego would make more passenger trains have magnets on the font and back of the diver cart.
It probably saves them a lot of money for a feature that most kids won't miss!
I really like it. Also I prefer power functions than powered up, but 9v is best in my opinion.
I agree, to an extent. Cost is a factor but what I like about PF is the remote control aspect. It's good fun and I'm not tied to a single big dial. Also lighting I can hardwire without it dimming at slow speeds. Yup, it's Power Functions for me!

I just added a dummy wheel setup. See 60051 instructions for convenience!

Haha. Good name. Those doors only come in very limited colours sadly!
And also same with the intercity class 91 where the mk4 coach driving van trailer is used for storage but it doesn’t have big great doors on the side so it looks almost the same as the motor unit but the motor unit has a blunt end cab and the driving trailer has a gangway on the back
I like your modified cab car, but I think the pantograph does not make sense. It does not have a motor (neither in reality nor in the LEGO world) so why would it need a pantograph. If you look at the Ice 2 again you’ll see it also doesn’t have one. If you want to add something on top I would go for some antennas, they could be for cellphones or communication between train and other railway workers.
This is a good point and I've made a note of it. The set came with both and I kinda like the symmetry so no promises on removing it!
I think it’s better without the antenna like you mentioned with the express passenger train cab car video, that cab cars don’t really use antennas
They can do. It depends on the train apparently. Anyway, I like a bit of variety!
@@RobinHoodBricks ya know when I do make my own cab car, I might just remove that grey/dark blue symbol, and have the whole cab car with windows and extra seating, like most german passenger trains I’ve seen since childhood, plus the wheels I would change the one where the motor use to be and and change it to a boogie and make the bottom part a little bigger
I was looking for yellow hazard stripped bricks and they seem to be in short supply. Then I remembered your monorail 🤣 but since watching your channel and seeing the hot tea technique ive gained a bit of love for stickers. So problem was solved.
I believe you can get them new from LEGO B&P. Let me check.
Oh, no you can't. I guess I bought them all!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like it!I want to 1 for myself and make a video of it,and I will say thank you to you in the video 😊
how many rechargeable battery packs do you own
Ten, and I'll be using them at the same time soon!
Yay fantastic video 4th
You rock!
Hi robin
It's not a cab car
In the uk it's called a DVT
Driving van trailer
That's a mouthful. I think I have to use a term that most people around the world, of all ages, will understand. Good fact though!
