This is my Lego Tangara T Set train from Sydney Australia, and how I designed it. Huge thanks to @TazzieTransport for providing the pictures used in this video.
Max for the whole video: So yeah, my train is like 0.000001 mm off the actual scale of the train and is like so imperfect Meanwhile: the train is the most accurate Lego train that anyone could imagine, and it is so good that it looks like something that Lego themselves made. Seriously these Lego trains you make are amazing, Lego should hire you and Lego should also officially make these sets because they definitely deserve a place in the Lego store. And if I saw any of your Lego trains in a Lego store, I'd buy it on the spot.
Being from Sydney, these are apart of life. I am not sure if they have the seats that can change, but those trains are the best. Please make a bus or tram model from sydney please :)
Also, LEGO just announced that they will release the one by two cheese slope without slots. This will open up a lot of build opportunities, especially for angled features like you have in the front. My hope is that they will eventually produce transparent colors for that new part.
The math I have used to work out a lego scale has one meter being three studs long or one stud being 33cm long. With that logic, standard gauge is the normal tracks while broad gauge should be rounded up to five studs wide.
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.
I just watched this again, just had a uwation. Could this design be made to fit the standard lego tracks? I need this train so badly! Please make the file public so I can part out all the pieces :)
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.

Love watching these, you give me the much needed motavation to continue working on my lego australian models lol.

Nice work! There are some incredible techniques in use here 👍
Love your work; the 4D and the B class tram were very cute too :D

when i went to sydney thats the only one i went on besides the xpt
How did you avoid the Watarahs? When I went basically every train was a Watarah

Mind blown. I want to know what pieces you used for the pantagraph contacts? They look like snowshoes of sorts.
They are - part 42013 on Bricklink
@@MaxProduction16 thanks
Could you please give me the link for these instructions? This is a crazy great build and I’d love to be able to make this as well
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
hey man quick question what part is that on the pantograph? (the gray one) because i cant find it in studio
It's part 42013 on Bricklink
thakns man it realy helped in design of a locomotive@@MaxProduction16
The second best is Melbourne
I, along with at least 5 million other people, beg to differ
Defo want to see you do a ridgy
