rebelego Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 This is a kind of magic... ...and probably not healthy. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Oh sweet armony! The wagons are gorgeous too! Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 That is really cool! How do you get that effect, is it something easily available for people to buy or something that you have made? Quote
harnbak Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 That is really cool! How do you get that effect, is it something easily available for people to buy or something that you have made? More info on the smoke here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70937&view=findpost&p=1312521 Quote
kieran Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 wow, that looks so good. I am just getting into Trains and this must be a goal to shoot for, juts looks so real Quote
lostdriveway Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I love to know more info about your additional wagons. How much did they cost for the parts etc? Looks stunning being 5-6 cars long! Quote
LegoSjaak Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Really cool..the smoke adds also a lot to the whole picture...NICE !!! Quote
rebelego Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 More info on the smoke here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70937&view=findpost&p=1312521 Yes, thanks. You find all the info there. It is standard model railway stuff. I'm actually surprised that LDCC is not mentioned in the Eurobricks forums before. I tried to search now, and my posting is the only one. I love to know more info about your additional wagons. How much did they cost for the parts etc? Looks stunning being 5-6 cars long! I have no clue about the cost. The train base plates are switched to black and extended by 2x6 plates like the Santa Fe wagons. The bogies are a little bit modified. Quote
Sah Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I'm not much of an train fan, but damn, that is an AMAZING modification. Love the sounds and smoke effects. Quote
rebelego Posted December 23, 2012 Author Posted December 23, 2012 Here is a new video of my Emerald Night: The train runs around my train layout at the LEGO Norway 50 years anniversary event in November. The video is shot by shutinc. Quote
Capt. Stabbin Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Great job!! This looks so realistic!! your layout is nice too. I wish I could see this in person. Quote
wondermonkey Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Wow. On that other thread I was proud I could pull 3 cars, but you've clearly got yours tuned in better. Do you have any weights inside the tender to hold it to the rails? Looks great! Quote
Missing Brick Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Looks like the power bogey is on the first passenger car. The carriages look great with the 6-window santa fe extension don't they. Quote
JopieK Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Very, very nice! Your layout is stunning too! Quote
Locomotive Annie Posted December 23, 2012 Posted December 23, 2012 Incredible! The first live steam Lego locomotive Seriously though the smoke and sound effects are a wonderful enhancement. Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 The layout is huge ...I'm speechless! This is all that a child would like! Quote
rebelego Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 Thanks everybody! Do you have any weights inside the tender to hold it to the rails? No extra weight. Though, the LokSound decoder and speaker are placed in the tender, but they don't apply much extra weight. Looks like the power bogey is on the first passenger car. Yes, as I wrote in the Is It Worth Buying an Emerald Night Now? thread: Do the mods described in RailBricks and the forum, and turn the engine into a push-along train. Then, place a 9V or PF motor under the wagon. With PF, always place the battery box straight above the motor. The load regulation (usually called back EMF) provided by the DCC decoder makes it possible to run smooth with only one 9V motor. With regular lego 9V motor control, you will probably need two motors to pull the train. Though, this train doesn't like S-curves and steep slopes. The first live steam Lego locomotive Not really. I made my first lego steamer with sound in 2003, and Matija introduced smoke generator in his Blue Train in 2008. Quote
rebelego Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 No extra weight. Though, the LokSound decoder and speaker are placed in the tender, but they don't apply much extra weight. Sorry, I forgot the 11,1V Li-Po battery which gives power to the smoke generator. It is placed in the wagon right above the motor and weights 100 g. Quote
Phoxtane Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 The smoke effects are great, though I wouldn't put them in my Emerald Night [if I had one]. Your scenery work is outstanding! Quote
danthaman11 Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Very cool effect with the smoke coming out of the Emerald Night engine. Your layout is stunning and the Emerald Night looks great steaming around it! Quote
Missing Brick Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 ... The load regulation (usually called back EMF) provided by the DCC decoder makes it possible to run smooth with only one 9V motor. A ha. I thought you must have some fancy stuff to keep the speed so constant. My PF version slows to a crawl in bends :) I'm thinking about fitting a second bogey motor to give it some more grunt. Though, this train doesn't like S-curves and steep slopes. Yes - it likes a big layout with max 90 degree bends with plenty of straights between, so only one carriage at a time is in a high-drag state. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 This is so great, well done! Quote
