Single receiver, Individual left and right drive with no lift capacity. Yet.
Original track inspiration by 2in1 with modifications to fit the chassis.
My mod of 8081 with PF elements. Very easy and almost withou change the original model. You can instructions on my LUGs topic:
De afbeelding toont de kunstinstallatie "Open Space, Open Function (2010)", gemaakt door de Nederlandse kunstenaar Jason van der Woude. De foto is genomen in de Verbeke Foundation in Stekene, België, en werd geüpload door de fotograaf Ronny Daems.
Over het kunstwerk en de locatie
Kunstenaar: Jason van der Woude.
Locatie: Verbeke Foundation, een museum voor hedendaagse kunst in Kemzeke, Stekene, België.
Beschrijving: De installatie is een structuur of 'glazen huis' gebouwd met hergebruikte ramen van verschillende groottes en kleuren, wat resulteert in een muur van gekleurd glas met een houten vloer en uitzicht op de natuur.
Context: De Verbeke Foundation staat bekend om haar unieke combinatie van moderne en hedendaagse kunstwerken die vaak spelen met thema's als ecologie en biologie, en het domein omvat zowel binnen- als buitenexposities in een natuurrijke omgeving. Veel fotografen bezoeken de locatie vanwege de fotogenieke kunstwerken, waaronder deze installatie.
The Suzuki V-Strom 650, 2009. So-called adventure tourer, or dual sport for limited off-road riding. For my purposes, the perfect bike for back country touring. No glitter or chrome. Fuel economy is great at about 70mpg. A very practical machine.
After spending quite some time building a Lego moc of one of the biggest steam engines in the world (the Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 'Big Boy'), I thought it would be fun to see how small of a steam engine I could model in a fairly realistic, in-scale manner, and yet, still have it be completely powered by Power Functions.
I decided that the perfect prototype to model for this project would be a Vulcan Iron Works 0-4-0T.
The main design goal was, of course, to find the most efficient packaging solution possible for the rechargeable battery box, receiver, M sized motor, and wiring. However, the battery box had to be accessible and removable for quick changing, and as such, it could not be used as a structural component in the moc's design.
A few of the other design goals were that it had to have functioning pistons and drive rods, good slow speed characteristics (it was going to spend a lot of it's time being used as a yard goat), and fully functional front and rear couplers. Equal weight distribution between the front and rear axles was also going to be key, as I needed to have a well balanced engine for maximum traction if it was going to have any kind of usable pulling power due to it being as small and light weight it would inevitably be.
You might have noticed that this moc uses the small train wheels, and (although I might be wrong) I think that this is the first steam engine moc with operating pistons and drive rods that uses those sized wheels as drivers.
The prototype that this particular engine is modeled after can be found here:

(BTW-the above link is a GREAT reference site for steam engine moc builders.)
I would be very happy with your comment.

My latest TT is based off a sorta-modified chassis pioneered by Zetovince/Mahjiqa. Due to this the L20 is actually bigger and heavier than the Blazefury, an F1 car for the road. All in the sacrifice for detail. Let's just imagine IRL that the L20 is smaller like is should be.
The Arctana is my first attempt as an AFOL at a spaceship.
It is designed for long range reconnaissance and radar picketing.
This is a view of the side of the ship, with the illuminated cockpit open.
It is much bulkier than originally intended due to the inclusion of the mechanism for automating the cockpit. This consists of a Power Functions motor and linear actuator.
Unfortunately, there wasn't room for the battery box, so this remains external (hidden out of shot in these photos), connected via the underside of the ship. There are also Power Functions motors to operate the engine turbines and lights to illuminate the cockpit and sensor array.
I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dryrot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificient glow,
than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of a man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

4x360 degree turning engines, opening doors and removable roof for easy access, and a little surprise in the boot for those sprint finishes!!
