Patgeo replied to Janotechnic's post in a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale ModelingAmazing work! Well done! I believe it was challenging enough to find which set should be combined in order to built your creation! The result is almost identical to the original platform! -
Thank you for your comments! I am planning to have at least one motor in each wagon, depending on the total weight of the train, and how much speed I would be able to achieve. All LEGO I use, are original and not third party for the moment. The double crossover used, is the 7996-1 set back from 2007!

Thank you for your kind comments Beej. Regarding the doors, I wanted to do something that made clear that there was a door, and that's how I came up with that idea. I'm glad you like it! I also agree with the jagged section that you are referring and this what I try to overcome right now. Its very tricky to achieve something that looks appealing. Thank you very much Dug!

Hi to everyone! My name is George. Since I was a boy, I was fascinated by trains. Unfortunatelly, as these type of sets were usually priced higher than others, my parents didn't bought me any of them. This changed when I was old enough to have my own money and I bought myself the passenger train 7897, the cargo train 7939 and my favourite one, the Emerald Night! Since I became a member here, although I didn't have some relevant work to display I occasionally looked in this part of the forum and admired the work of fellow MOCers. A year ago, after visiting Japan for holidays and travelled with a lot of different trains, I was astonished by the Shinkansens, and when I got back, I decided to MOC one of them. Due to luck of time and some other factors, I left my project behind, but now with the Covid lockdown and a lot of time to spare, I decided to continue with my project and to make the best out of it! Hopefully, when everything comes back to regularity, I will be able to complete my MOC. I want to believe that this MOC will be the begining of more to come.

Really nice creation! You also did a very good job regarding the whole mechanism, despite the fact that you had to open a hole to the table.

Following up my original post, I would like to inform you that I managed to complete in studio the whole train and I updated the photos on the main post. I created two types of the pantograph, and I ended up with the seccond version, after seeing closer pictures of the actual one. I also wanted to put some interior, but there is not enough space inside. I am thinking to design it at 8 stud wide, although each wagon will get to be longer, and I will probably experiment with it. I hope you like the outcome.

Really nice creations. Both of them are very detailed and well recreated! I have also thought of the lower weight issue, that might be a problem in the wagons. In the locomotives, I used the battery box to bypass it, and in the wagons i am thinking of using the Modified Brick, 2 x 6 x 2 Weight, in order to help a bit. Of course, I will start by using two wagons, and depending on the resault, I will see if I could add some more. edit: Ι would like to ask you if the magnets you used are strong enough to pull such weight.

Thank you for your comment. As Shinkansens are some of the fastest trains in the planet, I wanted to incorporate this characteristic in my model, so for the moment there are two pf train motors, one in each end of the locomotive. Hopefully the speed will remain after I complete the whole model by adding 4 extra wagons.

This is my LEGO version of the Kyushu Line JR800 Shinkansen, made of 5.959 pieces, having a length of 2,74m (9ft) and weights 4,302kg (9.484 pounds) in total and is my first train MOC. The 800 Series, designed by Mr. Eiji Mitooka, is considered the only "Japanese" shinkansen as it's concept represents the beauty of Japanese arts and crafts, and has two engines and four wagons. The train went in service in 2009 and is considered the second fastest of the 3 JR Kyushu types of Shinkansen services (the rest are Mizuho and Tsubame, from the fastest to slowest). Update 09.05.22 (The Previous Content can be found within the hidden content area, at the bottom of this post) You can find more pictures on my FlickR and enjoy it on the following video;

When I started to read your storyline and took a look at the first couple of pictures, i couldn't realise the length of your story and your creation that continuously changed as you deployed your story! Every detail that you put in your creation has its reason and is well incorporated. I really enjoyed the way you planned the plot and the outcome of it, as well as the fighting scene and the blood effect that you put! Overall, you did an amasing job! Congratulations!

I would like to apologize for bringing up a so old threat, but I didn't realised that there were some comments that I didn't reply to. As one of my principles is to thank everyone for their kind comments, I have to reply. If there is any problem with it, please inform me and i will delete my post. Thank you very much for your comments Henjinh_Quilones. I aggre with the fact that the lanscape is quite flat, but at that time I didn't have the appropriate parts to create something more interesting in my disposal, something that stands for the ladders as well. Thank you very much soccerkid6! That happy working feeling of the dworf team was the one that i had in mind and wanted to express through my creation. I am glad you liked all the aspects of it!

Very nicw built! Your idea is very straightforward and i really like the tree technic that you used!

Thank you for your kind words @mccoyed and all the feedback. Regarding the roof technic, it was inspired by some old traditional houses in the area and it really came out nice. Regarding the "peak", I tried some techincs in order to have a smooth ending, but this was the best outcome. I'll try to improve it in future builts, hoping that it will get better. As for the plates you are refering to, I know that it could be better, and i had it in mind but i forgot to look it again.

Thanks a lot guys! Nice to join you!
