Cactus Brick display at Tempe History Museum for their Hayden Ferry Days Festival on March 5, 2023. We put together a 10' x 20' city/train layout and multiple misc displays. This image is showing my island, land, coast and trains. The trees are made by enchantedbrick, the boat on the right is made by dinopete87 and the boat in the center was made by 4csbrickyard.
Coming soon: EMD GP9 Diesel Locomotive instruction kit! Will be available for purchase at www.ironhorsebrickco.com in late October!
Some progress shots so far. Still far from finished and many things may well still get changed again, but its getting there :)
Lewis Bird’s tram design mimicked to the best of my abilities. I love the techniques used for the outside definition. And now my coach finally has a proper engine to couple up to!
based off of locomotive #304. Weathering based off of end-of-life. However the body is based off what it was under Canfor. Graphics not yet added.
Features working brakes!...yeah I know there is not really any point, but I could so I did :) 2x 9v motors wheel-spin behind this when the brakes are clicked "on"
Also has a lightbrick in the firebox, actuated by pushing the main boiler slightly backwards. This light also serves as a "through" light to the rear tail lamp. Plus a "quick release" cab to be able to access the click hinge brake lever.
Had to sit on this for 8 months or so, but now able to show some of the pictures as "teasers".....designed and made exclusively for "The Lego Adventure" book: www.flickr.com/groups/2021445@N23/ which includes a full 18 page feature on how to build this, starting from chassis to end result.
Was an honour and a privilige to be chosen for this line up of "inspirational" builders throughout the world :)
A bit late but I finally found the time to edit some of the pictures taken at Brick Show Baarn (The Netherlands) on March 8 & 9 this spring.
The quality is a bit shabby due to them being taken with my phone and the lighting is such a big hall being a bit dark.
As LLMTC we had a nice joint layout. Present were amongst others GrunnigerNL, UrbanErwin, Ties, Tamas, Joop, Stijn, Malik and Christiaan. (did I forgot someone? Nagging feeling..let me know!).
Due to me being late signing up I had limited space for Bahnhof Linderei forcing me to improvise. I left the front two tracks and some middle sections at home making it a tight fit.
Compliments to ErikEti and the rest of the organization, everything including the catering was perfectly organised! Big chance of coming back someday!
While there I met with a German father and son from Aken, had a nice chat but due to me being busy driving (sucking Bluetooth with the Buwizz devices) I forgot to exchange details. If you want to, feel free to pm me or send an email.
Apart from the station building I brought with me the following rolling stock:
Double Prussian G10 (Baureihe 57) locomotives for pulling the 25t Ardelt railway crane. Including a SSK flatcar with Henschel Brauns narrow gauge engine a further flatcar with lifting beam, a support car with coal and water and a caboose for the accompanying personnel.
Prussian P8 (Baureihe 38) in landerbahn colours sporting a gepackwagen (new model), combined post- and gepackwagen, Kaiserliche Postwagen (new model), prisoner transportcar, four-axled 1st and 2nd class compartment coach and two 3 axled compartment coaches.
Bavarian DXII with tank car, tank car for spirits and boxcar and my Siemens&Halske Osram boxcar
Big Thanks to HA_Bricks for providing me custom rods for the G10 steam engines and delivering them in person! Also thanks to JaapTechnic for the stickers.
In the pics you see both of the G10 at Bahnhof Linderei, The P8 passing GroningerNL his yard, the DXII underneath UrbanErwin his bridge entering Ties his heather scene, the Kaiserliche Postwagen stopping at Linderei and finally my new end section of forest with a small creek and the electrical transformer building.
Hope you enjoy!
Here's a short video of my LEGO 15 Class with the newly added red counterweights connected to the coupling rods. I think they look fantastic in motion.
A month ago, I contacted Martin from Bricks-on-rails.de to enquire about the counterweight pieces on his store. After further discussion, Martin suggested that those in his store were too out of scale for this shunter. He then offered an alternative smaller counterweights (S-sized) that he had just designed and 3D-printed. He was kind enough to arrange a shipment even though the items were not yet on his store. Great chap and would highly recommend his store (bricks-on-rails.de) for all your 3D-printed coupling rods and alternative pieces such as these counterweights. (FYI: Coupling rods in the video are from TrainedBricks)
Am absolutely pleased with the results.
Heavily inspired from a model on Pete Watermans layout. I cant thank Richard and Mike enough for all they have done to get this working as it is.
Using a SWD Loksound V4 soundchip, it features all sounds, full interior carriage lighting along with seperate cab lighting which turns on in direction of travel whilst also changing the direction lights.
This will be running on display at this years STEAM show in Swindon.
PKP SM03 by the tank station, ST43 with Bhp double decker waggons and SM42 with cargo waggons on the back.
The station was a little bit crowded during the LEGO World event (14-17 of Feb, 2013, Copenhagen).
The TIE-GP or TIE-Geeps is a TIE-variant aiming to provide a cheap solution to pull cargo cars over long distance.
More seriously, as during Lego exhibition, I need to replace my 12V train locomotive as it is heating a lot, I built this alternate one as replacement. It is a TIE cockpit smashed onto a 12V engine that has a broken pin.
Part of Spotykalnia 2021 exhibition (24-25 April) covering train station and surroundings. Main buildings inspired by Gdańsk Główny PKP train station. Water tower just an improvisation. Signal tower inspired by Warszawa Zachodnia building.

Over the last two years I have been making 4-4-0 locomotives and I keep adding minor updates. Some more significant than others. Its really cool to see what I started with and what I have now. I am not trying to make this seem like I am the greatest for doing this, but its something I am proud of.
Well I have come to my most accurate version. I made the second version of the Jupiter and with that I started to add bigger wheels from BigBenBricks and make the locomotives taller and more real. The tender has stayed the same, but I would like to fix the...I guess trucks? But I still have more, to do.
***If anyone is interested in owning these please contact me. And expect the price to be around $430. There are a bunch of different options that could make the price be hinger or much lower. But that also covers PayPal fees and shipping (hopefully).*** I really don't make anything off of these, just whatever is left over which most of the time is not anything lol, just doing it for fun! And also YouTube.
Thanks to everyone who follows me and is interested in my projects!!
My next Railway Series LEGO train model is the Great Western Waterfowl himself; Duck!
This is another character whose class I'd conveniently already designed, so it was just a case of building another pannier tank and adding sandboxes!
Nothing extra special, but here are two ways I've saved those derned expensive coupler parts by using stand-ins on the ends of my trains.
A view of my Union Depot train station with scaled down platforms. I plan to expand the station to 6 tracks with three longer platforms (every other track) at some point.
Our LUG received a lot of 2x2 curved slopes in light aqua, and several members came up with ideas to use them. One for the cleverest was this tanker wagon form Stephen Doyle.
Stephen's model is here.

First Train MOC of 2022! Currently in the final stages of designing before Bricklink-ing for parts. Rendered image here lacks some piping details, handrails and coupling rods. A little difficult to get those done on the Studio Software so you'll have to wait till it's done to see them.
The locomotive will be tender powered because there's no room to fit the gear mechanism within the narrow gauge drive wheels. Hoping to get another pfx brick because we all know how exciting it'll be to see (and hear) this locomotive with headlights, chugging sounds and whistle! 🚂
Stay tuned for more updates. 😬
The prototype for my new model was built in 1927 by Breda in Milan, Italy, for shunting service on the 950mm narrow gauge lines in Eritrea (which was an Italian colony at that time).
The model is driven by a single L-motor. It features front and rear lights (from Brickstuff; separately controllable for the left and right engine side) and a Seuthe smoke generator.
All funcions are powered and remote-controlled by a BuWizz 2.0.
The model consists of approx. 1400 parts and weighs just over 1kg.
This is something I usually wouldnt do at this stage, but I'm torn between choices. This model has beaten me for the last 6 years and I have constantly been going back and forth with ideas for it. It is one of the most difficult loco shapes to capture well in LEGO as far as the windscreen and nose go, but I've been hooked by this soundchip www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtOrR2I6haY&list=UUfRnBPFj6tZ... so much that I have ordered it. So what you see here is the idea that I'm verging towards. Its not the most accurate of windscreen shapes, but I feel its the most elegant with fewest gaps, unblocky thick glass etc and I feel can be enhanced further if I get a bit trick with some sticker work.....so thoughts appreciated.
Ignore the blu-tac holding one of the vents in (its there to stop me pushing it in more whilst messing with building ideas) and the blue vinyl covering all the 1x2 yellow cheese slopes (they will be ordered if this is the colour I choose).
What I'm torn between is if to do a blue version (and if I do, do I go with the white windscreen/cab or blue with grey frames) or do I do a dark green version with lime green lower body?
The dark green version would mean losing the airhorns, replacing the open side corridor windows (built that way to allow the sounds out more) with solid glass bricks to allow 1x1 cheese slopes to attach above them and looking at a way of replacing the 1x3x3 curved slope behind the drivers doors with something in dark green. I'm not exactly happy with that curve at the moment in blue anyway but its nice and smooth (until it transitions to the top!)
I just have a nagging feeling that if I build a blue one, that I will always be thinking I should have gone with dark green, even though I'm liking the blue at the moment!
Proportionally, selective compression has had to be used, even though this is now my longest LEGO loco (being some 8 studs or so longer than my current longest Class 37 to keep them in proportion) but it does just squeeze into my transportation boxes from corner to corner!.....but its still way short of a scale one.
Thoughts / comments welcomed.
Using the PFX brick to control the lights, sound and L-motor. She is also running on 4-wide track to get as close to the actual loco gauge. So far i’m thoroughly impressed!! the horn you hear is from the actual locomotive. :)
A true classic on Polish railroads. A few years ago I did a try to build a set of two Bhp (Bipa) waggons. I ended up on a discussion what is the best Lego color to be used - original waggons were painted in olive green in 70s and 80s. Old dk gray was the best choice. Adam Grabowski (Misterzumbi) made even a CAD version how it will look like.
This creation is a mixture of my try and Adam's CAD design.
I still consider it as a work in progress. Waggons need some stickers and details here and there. I also haven't made any decision regarding going through bends (make it comaptible with lego standard curves or smooth straight-track-made only).
I have to get some light bluish gray flex hoses etc. But the end is very, very close, so I decided to publish the photos.
It is funny as the ST43 engine presented on this photo is one o my longest Lego projects as well (first design of the front wall appeared in March 2007).
Another rail-thing from my childhood I wanted to have in the collection. Enjoy!
