Yeah, they don't come cheap! Somehow I managed to find them for only a few dollars each, and most of the frames are very yellowed and scratched, bringing down the price. Absolutely worth it in the end though!

Understandable, although personally I've never heard anyone say that, and honestly I'm surprised it's not the other way around

Well unless you happen to have been in the background when I was filming it, unfortunately you cannot.

Time will tell

It's unlikely we'll ever see something like this. The B Classes are meant to last until around 2030 which isn't too far off so rebuilding a third of the fleet only to retire them a few years after wouldn't be the best idea.

@@MaxProduction16 Ok, but like that's still a few years of accessibility issues.

I, along with at least 5 million other people, beg to differ

yes

I'm really busy right now but I do have something slowly coming together. I have a few things I want to get out before then though

@@MaxProduction16 that sounds great! Can’t wait to see your future creations!

Yes that is what it is

Well I did some shoddy maths three years ago and I'm stuck with the repercussions, but the weird scale I've gone with provides a nice level of challenge and differentiates my builds enough from others that I don't see it being too much of an issue. Even then, with the scale you have mentioned, standard gauge comes to just over 4 studs, which is the same gauge I have used here, and broad 1600mm gauge becomes just under 5 studs, which is the same as standard Lego track (between rail heads)

I wasn't taking the width of the rails into account. Maybe living near Sydney (if two hours north counts) has made me want my normal gauge to match with lego but now I can understand both sides of the argument.

It's made out of simple bars and clips with Belville ice skates. There are better shots of the design in almost all of my other videos but if you do build it I will warn you that it is very big.

@@MaxProduction16 what kind of clips?

The BrickLink numbers are 72869, 78258, 23443, 11090, 30374, 15712, & 42013

@@MaxProduction16 how many do we need for each of these numbered items

2x 72869, 2x 78258, 1x 23443, 1x 11090,1x 30374, 2x 15712, 2x 42013

I don't have instructions for it as I currently don't have any plans to build it in real life. I might make some and release them in the future though

capital loco kits also has a tangara with instructions

Watch my "how I built it" video and it will all be explained

It's not a finished model and I currently have no plans to publicly release the Studio files for it, sorry, but that could change in the future.

I am for the most part also a Lego purist and it took me a long time to get the courage to do it, but I'm glad you still like it

They are very similar trams tbf. Both great

@@MaxProduction16 how much did the project cost you? if you don't mind me asking, im not really into lego myself but id like to try actually building one

Between all of the rebuilds probably a few hundred dollars

My 4D design is made for normal Lego tracks, and with a bit on modification it would probably be possible to add the side panels back, but there is no way either design will be able to take R40; you're probably looking at R104 minimum. I'm eventually going to add an interior and fix a few details and when I do I will probably release instructions for it.
