Posted September 22, 20168 yr Greetings to the Lego Train Community! I wanted to show you pictures and a video of my German steam engine BR 53. In the darkest ages of German history (1939 - 1945) the Nazis planned to build this engine, but thankfully it was never built. But now watch out, you should only read on and watch the video if you don't have a Big Boy (unless you can withstand the shame, that her small cousin from Germany shows how much an engine can actually pull). This smaller cousin, which has a coal tender, is about 91 cm in length (about 112 studs), which transfers to the original at about 22m. Now I make the sassy claim that this smaller cousin is better than your Big Boys. My "small girl", the BR 53 makes it trough the tight Lego curves and switches without any problems (the switches however without the yellow lever). She is able to run at slow speeds but can reach higher speeds as well, because she has no XL PF motors (8882). But she still has the power your Big Boys would dream of. If the owners of a Big Boy are brave enough you should watch the video.
September 22, 20168 yr Wow, that engine is very powerful. It's the first time that I see a Lego engine pullingn that many cars. Amazing! Great job! PS: about how much does each car weigh?
September 23, 20168 yr Whoa very very very cool. This is definitely one hell of a long train to put in the Long Trains thread if it isn't there already
September 25, 20168 yr Wow. That looks great. Amazing pulling power there. And great looks as well. Would love to see more details.

If it does not have any XL PF motors, how it is powered and how much does it weigh over the powered wheels? These I am curious about!
October 1, 20168 yr Author Hello friends of the railway,I hope everyone could notice it. My text was not meant seriously. It's not easy, my self-irony to Translate. But many Big Boy owners, just ignored the post. My BR 53 I have presented earlier My new steam locomotive Under the tender work two old 9 Volt engines. In steam boilers work three PF- Motors Type M LEGO - 8883. The PF motors get their power via a 9 volt motors.

I have never weighed them. Yours sincerely, Udo Quote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hallo Freunde der Eisenbahn, ich hoffe, jeder konnte es merken. Mein Text war nicht ernst gemeint. Es ist nicht leicht. meine selbst Ironie zu Übersetzen. Aber viele Big Boy Besitzer, haben den Beitrag einfach Ignoriert. Meine BR 53 habe ich schon früher vorgestellt My new steam locomotive Unter dem Tender arbeiten zwei alte 9 Volt Motoren. Im Dampfkessel arbeiten drei PF- Motoren Typ M LEGO - 8883. Die PF Motoren bekommen ihren Strom über einen der 9 Volt Motoren Quote http://www.meinbaukasten.de/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/419x/602f0fa2c1f0d1ba5e241f914e856ff9/l/e/lego-motor-m-8883.jpg Was das kleine Mädchen wiegt....... keine Ahnung . Ich habe sie noch nie gewogen.
