Cyberpunk Locomotive
I'm excited to be part of the next iteration of the New Hashima City collab, coming to Brickworld in 2023. My first contribution is a futuristic freight train running around the docks. This is the first completed car, namely the engine. Several more on the way.
This is for the industrial section of the city, so the neon of cyberpunk is toned down a bit for a more industrial look, but at the same time I wanted it to look like it belonged in that world. It was a delicate balance.
The engine carries a PoweredUp battery case to power the headlights, but I intend to run it on 9V for the collab. I just don't want the headlight brightness tied to the speed regulator power. This is quite a bit larger than the standard 6-stud wide Lego train, which makes it quite heavy. I've tried to control me urge to go crazy with ALL THE TECHNIQUES since it can't be too heavy to move, and it also has to not fall apart from the vibration. I settled for sticking to mostly small lightweight angled sections that would not need to fight against gravity, making a single finger hinge or clip sufficient for support.
