Hello all, it was for a while again since I posted last time here, but I got really busy about moving to a new place, starting a new workplace and this project I show you in this topic consumed also tons of money so there was nothing new LEGO-creation to post until this month. My latest project is the SOB (Südostbahn) Stadler Traverso also known as FLIRT4 regional train which is a MOC train which has really no relation to Hungarian Railways I'm used to build for. Larger image: https://img1.indafoto.hu/4/9/2269_99ef04eb612baf0e86671a5109e22154/26984249_b953fff3b7470d8a4d7803ad3dba544b_xl.jpg This is the overall look of the train, unfortunately I don't have any photos of my own about the real thing. But anyone familiar with the real train could know that the copper or bronze colour of the real train is a pain when it comes to pick a LEGO-colour for it. When I was asked to design this train, I asked a friend to make some samples for me with copper-chrome colouring of some random bricks, but the larger surfaces didn't look so good as I expected so I looked around for LEGO-colours when a single and ONLY dark orange piece popped up in my "mixed" box of parts. Made a quick BL-search, many parts in this colour not existing, including larger plates and tiles, so LDD-design seemed to be a challenge. Also part costs are extreme compared to another colours, the 300+ 1×6 plates, 550+ 1×2 cheese slopes and the special, 4×8 plates for floor (no 1×8, no 2×8, no 6×8, etc) were a pain. After making the complete design the guy who asked for it was concerned about part prices, but I started to like the look of the train so I started to order in March of 2021 and everything arrived (and I could pay for) until second half of September. Digital planning and real assembly took around 300 hours. The train is driven by 4 PF train motors, 2-2 in each half, controllod via SBrick. Interior lights and front/tail lights also included. It consist of 8289 LEGO-parts, including all the extension cables, lights, motors. However it is "just an another FLIRT" in my fleet, some parts has been modified significantly as an experiment, to update my older FLIRT design on my existing other 4 FLIRT units. The most significant part is the angle of the roof part - when I built the first FLIRT back in 2009, I used 45° slopes because there were no other options, now small hinges and cheese slopes offer better options. The front cone is totally different compared to FLIRT1 and FLIRT3 designs, and making it using Dark Orange was really a pain, making PF led lights to fit. LDD-plan of front cone - outside and inside: Front cone builtof real bricks, including PF-lights and using my own technique with light transmitting cables to fit into small places at the front: The entire train with lights on and other FLIRTs around: The two, non-identical halves of the train - 1st class traincars have different positioning and number of windows: Video of the train running:

The Stadler Euro (known as the Vossloh Euro until 2015) is a class of diesel-electric locomotives built by Stadler Rail for the European market. It is available in two basic variants, the four-axle Euro 3000, and the six-axle Euro 4000. These locomotives are powered by EMD710 Engines This particular model is my interpertation/atempt of E5033 Series, since "Cp Carga" change to "Medway" this was the first Locomotive who reveal the new color scheme, Medway baptize the locomotives with girls names, this one is "Matilde" Is powered by 2 L Motors, i try to make the top fans spin, connect some how to the gears, but after several hours I quit that idea. This was make on LDD, improved on Stud.io, the decals made with PartDesign. 7wide, 1256 parts, 48studs long.

Hello everyone, I'd like to share with you my new WIP MOC, which is the six waggon double-deck electric motor unit of Westbahn, the Stadler KISS (or it the type's former name, Dosto). I designed this train using my Stadler FLIRT modell's nose, but completely changed the other parts. The KISS trains has normal waggons, while FLIRTs do have Jacobs-boogies, and three waggon of KISS is 75 metres long, as one four-section FLIRT-train. I've only designed the first (and last waggon), with detailed interior, of course. For indoor lights, front-tail lights there are designed free spaces, but I'm afraid I'll never face the problem, hiding all the PF wires without consuming space from the passangers because of the cost of such a train*. (*Of course, if anyone wants to sponsor this train, don't hesitate to contact me :D ) An overall LDD-picture: And you can find more details following these URLs (pictures are wider than allowed sizes for the EB forums): http://www.brickshel...KISS/wip_08.png http://www.brickshel...KISS/wip_09.png http://www.brickshel...KISS/wip_10.png http://www.brickshel...KISS/wip_11.png I guess the whole trains weight will be around 6 kilogramms, so a really clever solution for driving it will be needed, if ever built. The waggons with driver cab will could have a 9V train motor, and a PF train motor connected to it, and maybe one or two middle waggons should be powered like this. But more than 800 mA will be needed to drive it, so special speed regulator can't be avoided.

Recently our LUG got the new Powered Up passanger train which was a great fun for the kids at the holiday LEGO camp to assembly. However it seems that TLC will keep the big, one-part train fronts for all upcoming passanger trains, in other details the new City set seems a really good deal even for my AFOL-eyes. The color scheme, the easily removeable battery compartment solution is really nice, and the improved remote handles the speeds better (train not stopping at curves with speed 1). It is a real drawback, that only two outputs can be handled by a single battery box and connectors can't be stacked, but I hope there will be an official solution from TLC to put more motors on the same port (and maybe AA battery box). But back to colors... this bright orange, dark blue and light bluish gray combination is just perfect, I think it looks better than the 75% of real train colors. So I decided to make a try in LDD how this color scheme would look like on my Stadler FLIRT3 EMU (which was build for real recently). I had to change bright orange to simple orange - bright orange parts are still very limited. So, here are some screenshots from LDD: 1. The overall look: 2. Front pattern (light bluish gray cheese slopes missing but could be fit for real): 3. Overall look focusing on front: 4. Next to my GySEV FLIRT3: Basically only small details have been altered - the hinge connection by the front needed to be changed since the 1×2 plate with bar (closed ends) doesn't exist in orange. Also the side detail next to driver's cab and front window have been changed a little. However FLIRT trains have two different levels (upper one next to driver's cab and articulation, lower one anywhere else) I kept all color patterns horizontal through the train. Some lines with 1 plate height in Powered Up set have been increased to two plates (white on side and darb blue on the top), and made the full-orange front to have a line back at the bottom just like Railjet locomotives are painted with the red pattern curving back to the bottom. The doors became orange, sincs new TSI standards require to make doors with outstanding pattern to be easily identifyable to people with damaged vision. For this train I decided to make the plan with 3 cars - most LEGO passanger trains are given with 3 cars. Battery compartment could be hidden at toilet section. Tell me your opinion. :)
