Definitiv einer der besten Züge von LEGO jemals.

First of all, thank you very much for your long comment! 1. The Santa Fe will never be involved in any intentional crashes. Don’t worry ;) 2. When buying the pieces I switched all the Light Gray and Pearl light Grey parts to light bluish grey. I also swapped dark grey with dark bluish grey. Then I designed some custom doors for the carriages cause the original pieces don’t come in light bluish grey. I also did some minor tweaks to the design in a couple of places because some pieces don’t exist or are simply too expensive to buy. The last thing I needed were some Stickers. I was able to find custom replacement sticker sheets on eBay. Note that this is still NOT a cheap train to buy, even with all of these changes. 3. Maaaaaaybe at some point I will look into extending the train further. I know there are some great designs out there for additional cars and also B-units but for now I will keep it as it is. It‘s long enough for me and not worth the price. Especially because I only see this train in it‘s full glory when I set up the tracks, which is like once every couple of years… That‘s kind of right. The train on the very left siding is a modified version of LEGO‘s Orient Express. But the custom locomotive is actually the same model that pulls the Polar Express :) Full video on that train will hopefully come out next weekend. Be on the lookout for that!

Thank you! Let’s just say it‘s an express train so it needs to go that fast hahaha

That’s a good question. Without further research I can’t give a good answer. I guess it really depends on what you wanna do. The long curve variant with the 2x2 corner plates on one side and the 1x2 plate on the other side makes a HUGE circle. It‘s way bigger than even the biggest trixbrix curves. When it comes to the smaller variant of long curves (1x3 plate on one side, 1x2 plate on the other) in comparison to R120 curves (kind of similar size) I would ALWAYS go for the R120‘s. They are just working way smoother and are better looking than the curves made up of straights.

Depends a LOT on the cars and on the tracks (many curves or mostly straight/long curves). I think I once tried how much it can pull a few years back. I think it was able to pull all these freight cars, my ICE 2 cars and my TGV cars. So that would be seven quite heavy additional cars to the ones in this video.

Partially, yes! Look for LEGO long curves on CZcams! There are different designs out there. Makes running the trains at full speed possible. But you need a lot of straight tracks and of course also a lot of room…

Thanks man!

I buy all my pieces from BrickLink.

@@jumabricks is that one big hose or multiple small ones

@@theoturbo2752 Many small sellers with shops. Works kind of like EBay, just without bidding. Watch a basic tutorial on CZcams to find out more.

@@jumabricks no I’m asking if the hose piece specifically was one large piece or multiple small pieces

@@theoturbo2752 Ah, I got ya! I used the exact lengths of hoses that are recommended in this instruction video: czcams.com/video/z9wSs4PVAcg/video.htmlsi=dMjpAGakOs4XmtgP

Don’t worry, usually no LEGO pieces are actually damaged during train crashes like this one ;)

@@jumabricks well that’s a relief!

Thanks a ton!!!

Thank you!

Thanks so much!! Yeah, that’s right. The Avengers Tower needs an upgrade!

Hmmm… I haven‘t had any problems with the drive train. Check Batteries, check if all motors are properly connected, check the axles and gears. That‘s all I can recommend.

It will happen soon!!

Definitely yes! But it probably won’t appear in any videos cause I can’t find any time to set up a big train layout and run it. Maybe I‘ll be able to run it in my LEGO City for a video… We‘ll see!

What exactly is fake about this? You get exactly what the title and thumbnail suggests.

Look at my channel, there are multiple videos of the Big Boy.

Ich weiß es nicht mehr genau, aber es waren schätzungsweise 550€ - 600€. Alle Steine, inklusive der roten train bases habe ich bei BrickLink gekauft.

Thank you very much!!!

Thanks man! I appreciate the comment <3

Thank YOU for watching and commenting!

Thank you for your comment! I also love having some smooth long curves! I always wanted to have something like that in my city. I know that it‘s possible to remove that piece from the TrixBrix switch but as I mentioned in this video I won’t end up actually using these switches so it doesn’t really matter for me ;)

Tut mir leid, aber es lohnt sich nicht dafür ein Video zu machen. Man muss einfach den 9v Motor mit einem power functions Zugmotor ersetzen und das Dach an einer Stelle für den Infrarotempfänger leicht umbauen. Für die Batteriebox, bzw. Akku ist in der Lok mehr als genug Platz.

@@jumabricksok schade vielleicht werde ich es selbst herausfinden

@@Jonah1812_YT Falls du es nicht schaffst gibt es auf CZcams auch Tutorials von anderen Leuten.

Yeah, they‘re fine!

Dankeschön!
