JunkstyleGio Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 That Loc has fantastic looks! I'm in total awe! Quote
therealjustin Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Astonishing work! :wub: It is an honor to look at it! Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I recognize the sentiment of using black. However there ae of course more colours used in the steamlocomotive era... The emerald night has a dark green livery And I am pretty sure there have been some dark blue trains as well...Combined with LBG undercarriage... Quote

The emerald night has a dark green livery And I am pretty sure there have been some dark blue trains as well...Combined with LBG undercarriage... True, the thing with me is that I never built something pure for the color of it. I must really like it as well to put so much time in it. And I only like a few of those very big American locomtives as the Big Boy. Quote
MaxSupercars Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I would like to see the Southern Pacific Daylight #4449 in this size... :P Max Edited February 3, 2016 by MaxSupercars Quote
mzzl88 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 wow, speechless...really looking good and the overall length is stunning...is there a possibility that TLG will make something like this...? are there instructions available or are you planning on realizing this on short notice..? Quote

The thought of making instructions for this gives me a nightmare. It is not realisitc. It would probably be around 1000 pages. A TLG set would be around 3000 Euros or more, in a very very big box :-) Edited February 3, 2016 by Bricksonwheels Quote

JDL1967 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Beautyfull build AMEZING!! Like the great details.. Quote
nychase Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 The thought of making instructions for this gives me a nightmare. It is not realistic. It would probably be around 1000 pages. A TLG set would be around 3000 Euros or more, in a very very big box :-) For what its worth....even if you did just the CAD and not the instructions I promise I would build it in a heartbeat. I think its just one of the most impressive models iv'e ever seen from a scale and detail perspective. Perhaps Ingmar can help you...ill nudge him a bit! Quote
motomatt Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I saw this on flickr a few days ago and I was blown away. I'm a big fan of BricksOnWheels trucks and this is at the pinnacle of lego modeling :-) I wish I could see it in person some day. 2LegoOrNot2Lego's truck and trailer are simply awesome also. Quote
Feuer Zug Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 What a gorgeous beast. 24 kg, amazing. The detail work is top notch. I agree with many others, I thought I was looking at real pics to start with before getting close. Keep it up. Quote
Milan Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 I prefer you trucks, but this one is so good! Size, details and photos...great! Quote
allanp Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 This is just beautiful! Any plans to motorise it? I know it's 24kgs but I'm sure it's possible. As for a steam engine, a pneumatic powered flying scotsman at a similar scale would be epic! Quote

xboxtravis7992 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Just saw this being passed around on Facebook by some railfan groups. It is very impressive! I've seen the real locomotive twice in real life to. You're model is spot on. Edited February 3, 2016 by xboxtravis7992 Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Wow, the last picture shows how this project is MAD! I can't handle such a beauty! Also the rails are amazing! :wub: Quote
Bricksonwheels Posted February 3, 2016 Author Posted February 3, 2016 People you are too kind. I am really overwhelmed by all the positive reactions Quote
Kit Fisto Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) This is so cool..I`m out of words By the way, is it able to turn? Edited February 3, 2016 by Kit Fisto Quote
Thirdwigg Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Very good job. The scale is impressive, and the details are stunning. Fantastic. Quote
legonerd54321 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 This thing is made out of LEGO!?!?! Quote
brunojj1 Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 This is really GRANDE, and so many Bricks on Wheels ! Very impressive, especially when such a thing is built within 4 months only! Don´t know if somebody already asked, maybe it sounds kind of strange, but it´s always the first question in my mind when I see your creations: What are those wheels you have used? Quote
Beck Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 The first image looked as if it was made in some type of professional CAD program. Having seen a few of these locos, I can vouch that it's completely spot on perfectly realistic. Can the model roll along the tracks? I'm quite surprised that it can support its emmense weight. Quote
Geekphysique Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 This.... This is spectacular. I've always wanted to build a Lego model of a GMD SD40-2 with the Canadian Pacific Multimark scheme, but I never imagined a model in this scale and detail. From one rail fan to another you have done a remarkable job even from a modelling perspective alone. The fact you did this in Lego with such accurate detailing is quite a feat, you should be proud of this one! Quote
