cyberdyne systems Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 In memory of Benua Sokal IMG_20220322_164231 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr I wanted to publish this MOC on the day of the release of Stberia: The World Before, but... well, it's better later than never. MOC consists not only of Locomotive itself, but also of rails, train platform with wind-up station and Yukols' Winch which was used by Kate to pull the train into the cave in the second game. IMG_20220321_102639 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr The train itself has three important features. First - it tries to look as close as possible to the one from the game. IMG_20220322_211220 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr IMG_20220321_103140 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr Second - it really IS a clockwork train. It has two pull-back motors in the rear section and an intricate mechanism,which consists of gearing up and flywheel so the spring can unwind slowly and clutch, so you can wind-up spring with no need to drive wheels backwards Trainsmission by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr The lever in the cabin engages the clutch and the lever above the right bumper locks and unlocks pullback motors' driveshaft IMG_20220321_103034 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr Third - it has a linear actuator on the inside which pushes out what should be a steam generator exhaust as it was seen in the second game. To drive the actuator you have an axle which can only be driven with a special voralberg's key IMG_20220321_103556 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr IMG_20220321_102654 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr IMG_20220321_103604 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr Stand on the platform has an axle which winds up the train. To push it into the pull-backs' shaft you turn the lever on the left of the stand IMG_20220321_103322 by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr Finally, the winch is just a nice looking winch Here is the video: I hope, you liked this train and I hope you like the game of Syberia Quote
Ts__ Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Cool, it's something completely different and very well presented. I don't know the game, but I smiled while watching the video. What is missed, was the trigger to drive off. The machine is wound up, how is it started? The text says something about a lever, that was not seen in the video or did I miss that? Thomas Quote

It locks and unlocks gear wheels on pull-back-motors' driveshaft. 51965498335_6f0b1b3d54_h by SkyNet2@1, on Flickr Quote
Paperinik77pk Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Being a fan of: Syberia games Trains built in Technic style and parts Clockwork locomotives made in Lego ... I cannot stop myself from looking at this beauty! Great shot in the snow - very...appropriate, I'd say. Maybe a Lego Friends customized minifig could complete the set as Kate Walker! Please go on with the other cars to make the full train - it surely will be a great shelf queen. Ciao! Davide p.s. Frontpage well deserved!!! Edited March 29, 2022 by Paperinik77pk Quote

Feuer Zug Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Interesting design and execution. You must forgive me, but I first thought it to be a steampunk Zamboni. The rear section doesn't seem as refined as the front. It has a muscular feel from the front angle. Quote

Johnny1360 Posted April 7, 2022 Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) Very interesting subject matter and once again you have built something very cool. I am always happy to see you post a moc I almost always enjoy them and the backstory. I look forward whatever you come up with next. As always thank you for showing us your work. I have always tinkered with making such a clockwork mechanism, for many years but have never seriously attempted it or even made anything usable, so I can really appreciate how cool your entire setup works.
