I swear this was the coolest little train I have seen.

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

Yes the man has done it he built the U.P DDA40X unit in the mini way

[@flippydafox3313]

This is the most clever way I think I’ve ever seen a Lego moc built

Thanks for comment :)

[@uwesalzmann3398]

Well done! I love your tiny creations :)

Thanks - my favorite scale (or also smaller - three studs wide).

[@el_cucino]

Wow prostě wow tohle je jeden z nejlepších micro scale lego vlaků co jsem kdy viděl.

Díky za kladný komentář. Taková docela hranatá mašina, ale snad se blíží originálu :)

[@marksmanmichodzi674]

Insanely cool

Honestly, these builds are really cool. Channel's quite underrated, and deserves more love. Cheers!

[@gmdhallucin2333]

I like how the bricks are magically going to the build XD

:) Thanks for comment.

[@kraftigamer]

@ i think you built it off camera and then de-assembled it and uploaded it in reverse, so you picking up the bricks is actually you dropping them in reverse@ am I correct?

[@jannyjiang4334]

You’re the best lego building ever

:) Nice to read this, but there are many others much better builders.

[@SuperWAGs1]

My favourite train! I already made one in full lego size. Now I can have one in my 'faraway' part of my layout too!

[@EvilTheD]

What scale?

[@SuperWAGs1]

I don't build to scale, much like Lego generally... but it's about 64 studs long and 6 wide, driven by 4 lego motors. Big enough for Minifig, and good enough in its proportions and details for me. It's much the same as 2 of the official Maersk trains stuck together. It was a fun challenge to make which was the primary motivation for me doing so. Much like the real locomotive, it is very limited as to where it can run on my layout - but it does run. I will post a full video featuring it to my own channel in time - but that may be a long time in the future, as I am currently in building mode (including lots of trial and error, which is how I tend to do things). For now there is a glimpse of it in my intro (th-cam.com/video/x0uA9ieL9D0/w-d-xo.html). I don't post videos very often, and don't intend to monetise, but if you want to see more of it feel free to subscribe.

Hello! Love this video! The Brick Links web link in the description isn’t showing up for me. Is there an updated link we could try?
My son is OBSESSED with Union Pacifics. If existing building kits existed, we would have already gotten him one. Would love to try to recreate this with him. Just need some further details.
Thanks for inspiring us!!

Thanks for comment - nice to read my creation inspired someone. You can try this link - www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/edit.page?idModel=237978.

What is an alternative for the neck brackets aka the to connectors on the front and back on the locomotive if I don’t have them

Maybe a LEGO Bar Holder with Clip (11090 / 44873) and some kind of hook (like 60849 or 194) could work.

[@bassprofishgaming70]

how long did this take you to figure out

I really don't know, but the possibility of creating a digital model (I use Studio 2.0) is a big advantage, so you can do it quite well and quickly :)

[@SierraRail3Prod]

Why is there a in the front

Sorry, I don't understand your question.

[@blakeb9916]

@ maybe they’re trying to say why is there a coupler in the front I think??

[@liamrobinson6661]

Why is there a hole in the train but I like it

I tried to imitate a real locomotive. If I'm not mistaken, they are actually two coupled locomotives (engines). i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/c4/16/7bc416a216d77fca82c274be077f4d51.jpg.

How easy would it be to put the 2x2 turntables on the trucks?

@Eskel the Trainspotter & Roblox I also thought about turntable suspension, but this is more solid.

[@stufffan3773]

didn't the EMD DDA40X only have 3 axles (6 wheels) per bogie?

I found version with four axles on each side - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_DDA40X.

[@MrAlex-ej8ov]

it does indeed have 4 axles per bogie

[@parkerheyen4446]

I just realized you were using Mega Bloks mixed in with the LEGO

And many other brands - CaDA, Mould King. All is fully compatible and in very similar quality.
