Today I'm revealing my new Lego Ideas project - The Polar Express! ideas.lego.com/projects/d8f0433c-efdb-454d-9a7d-981df8d55ead
This train set would make a perfect Christmas decoration and it is so much fun to build and play with as there are some extra play features in there!
Please vote with the link above, make sure the yellow support button turned black and share with your friends as we need 10.000 votes to turn it into a real Lego set!
Finally finished my model of a BR94 steam engine. This model has had more rebuilds and more tinkering than any previous (train) model.
Like most of my steam engines it's running TrainedBricks rods.
New year, new update. Ive rebuilt the locomotive from the wheelbase up, with a motor inside of the boiler along with the speaker in front of the cab. It still has some work to do, like the tender decals, but I feel it’s a good step forward.
This beautiful picture was taken and edited by Pieter Post - he send to me, I loved it and was like "I'll add it to my Flickr soon!" and then I somehow managed to forget about it. Like an Idiot. Well, there you have it now, half a year late or so. Last year’s Arnhem was probably the event where I showed up with the smallest module ever, but it actually ended up fitting perfectly next to Ervvins Yard, so I might need to think about upgrading it to MILS. That would come with the benefit that I wouldn’t need to use structural ballasted R104 curves underneath my module to make up for the height difference. Whatever. I actually have a couple more pictures to upload, I’ll give my best to get more active. See you in 6 months lol
Work got in the way of my LEGO building so I haven’t come round to doing much lately. But in the end 1 to 2 of hours a week do add up to this BR57 (or Prussian G10) being at 90% done.
I have to complete the details on the loc itself and the tender needs a bit more work overall. Also desperately waiting for the new HA Bricks injection molded wheels.
Last Sunday the loc made its first test drive and I’m happy to report its r104 approved!
Legendary "Runaway Train" from the movie by Andrei Konchalovsky. Locomotives GP40 + F7 + GP7 + GP7 and my favorite villains: Manny (Jon Voight) and Buck (Eric Roberts). Stickers by OKBrickWorks, thank you Andy.
I'm working on this model since September 2021, this is a 1:45 Scale Replica of the Portuguese Electric Locomotive CP2620, my favorite one.
I did one 6wide model several years ago it was my first MOC as an AFOL in 2008.
I Was a fan of the Raised NS1800 model, so I contact him to ask if he doesn't mind if I use some of his ideas and design and applied them to my model since NS1800 and CP2620 are descended from the French Nez Cassé BB7200, they are similar in size and shape, but in the same time very different in details, so I could not just do a copy and change the color. Raised agreed with my idea to replicate the Portuguese Nez Cassé, and this is the result.
- It's a 1:45 scale (European standards)
- 8 studs wide
- 44 Cm long
- Around 2000 parts
- 2 Large Power functions motor
- Buwizz 2.0
- Other custom parts like U-clip from brick arms, neodymium magnets, and non-LEGO micro LEDs
- Custom Vynil stickers
- Can make R40 Curves, but I don't use that curves but R120 from Bricktracks
This Locomotive is part of a project where Raised, Erwin, Nicolas , and myself in a partnership with HA bricks will be released premium instructions for several Nez Cassé models based on the BB7200, and the first is scheduled for the end of this year and will be the Dutch version NS1600
Testing an idea for my Winter display this year
Thinking about the scene in the beginning of The Polar Express. My OE makes a fine Polar Express, maybe?
LEGO industrial locomotive and an old tunnel - a MOC build by me for brick train awards 2024. It won the the public vote category.
Lego Ideas project SUPPORT: bit.ly/LegoMeetingPoint
The city has grown around the railroad and the Brickester City Council has decided to expand the station, preserving and restoring the old facade and covering the old hall with a new iron and glass structure.
This newly-restored station has quickly become the most important meeting point in the city. Thousands of people pass through every day. Some patiently await the journey home, others rush by to get to work on time, some people-watch with curiosity, whilst some anxiously anticipate the too-slow arrival of a loved one. Yet others carry all their worldly belongings in a suitcase ready to embark the train to a new life.

One of my reasons for building British Locos has always been liveries. Just so many fantastic options for color and display.
I’ve tackled building in multiple liveries in the past, but now with a few years of building experience under belt, I really want to try some old builds again (like the pannier, the N7) and see how big this Trainbow can get :) I’ve got ideas for dark brown, lime, purple, and light blue. But any other ideas y’all can think of please let me know! (I need an idea for yellow or tan!)
Today I present to you my contribution to EmpireLUG's train layout displayed at Brickworld Chicago 2022. Combined with @brickbuilderstudios 's sections, we made the "futuristic"/cyberpunk area of the layout. This is the second of the two buildings that make up my entire contribution.
This building was actually nominated for the "Best Small Building" award category at this past Brickworld Chicago.
This was a quite challenging build as it was designed and built i between all three North American countries and had to come apart in sections to fit in two simple suitcases.
I haven't quite worked out a role for this BR04 diesel shunter on my LEGO railway layout. I built it mainly because I like the class, I like the colour scheme and I LOVE hazard stripes!
My latest two additions to my fleet, a BR Standard 4MT Tank, with two cada micro motors inside, an S Brick and a 2S Lipo for power. It runs reasonably well although I've been having a few issues with motors cutting out, I think I've finally fixed it (with a bit of help).
Not sure if I've shared the coach before, but its the first of a rake of 5 bulleid coaches, to go alongside any of my southern engines

One of the models at the LLMTC World meeting 2023 in Sittard. Wörrstadt station was built by Nick Kleinfelder.
My entry for the Brick Train Awards 2022 under the 'Best Other Locomotive'.
The LEGO Malayan Railway 20 Class locomotive (20101 - Bunga Raya) is my most favourite MOC thus far. I am especially proud of how the model turned out. From trying to perfect the bulldog nose with the new LEGO Curved Corner pieces in Dark Red to the incorporation of LED lights and accurate engine sounds to the application of intricate decals that I've designed.
The LEGO MR 20 Class model is controlled by a PFx Brick, powered by 1x PF L-motor, fitted with LED lights (2x main headlights and 4x marker lights) and accurate engine sound profile (EE12SVT). Just like the real narrow gauge locomotive, the model runs on TrixBrix Narrow Gauge Tracks (4-studs wide).
I am working on a LEGO train layout; a fictional branch line set somewhere in southwest England. Here is one of the engines that work there - a 57xx pannier tank engine, wearing the livery of my fictional railway :) The engine is yet to be named or numbered - I want to find a naming convention that suits the feel of the world I'm creating.
As with all my LEGO MOCs, the design is my own. However, I do look to other LEGO train builders for inspiration, so if you see a particular technique that resembles someone else's - they probably came up with it first! The only element I fully claim as mine is the bufferbeam; in fact I rarely see other LEGO trains utilising the old style bufer parts at all, which I feel are more in scale than the more commonly-seen 1x1 tiles.
I try to find a middleground between realism and compression - partly so my models can negotiate LEGO's extremely tight track curves, and partly to save space!
I am quite a strong purist, I don't like modifying parts or using custom stickers. The only third-party parts I allow myself to use are Big Ben Bricks wheels and TrixBrix track.
Thomas wouldn't be complete without his coaches Annie & Clarabel. These are, like Thomas, based on their appearance in The Railway Series, with elements from Awdry's own models mixed in. They're quite plain, but I think they look very effective coupled behind Thomas' blue.
This BR class 07 diesel engine, shortened from its basis, works on my LEGO branch line layout. I had originally intended for it to shunt at the top station, but I've now reallocated it to the quayside harbour line at Studsea!
I fitted a Powered Up 4 channel Technic hub in one of my Swedish Rc class locomotives. It's got two train motors and two sets of LED lights, which are all controlled by a custom program in the Lego PuP app.
88012 has the benefit of AA batteries so much more "juice" than the small hub.
Also it is very easy to reverse direction of one of the train motors via the program.
The bulky format of 88012 is of course a challenge, I tried to disguise the lower section as undercarriage details with a bit of striping

56 studs long, 8 wide, just trying to figure out a better design for coaches. Definitely need to brick build the bogies, but for the most part I’m happy with this try!
(INSTRUCTIONS COMING SOON!) My Lego model of a Southern Pacific M-6 class of 2-6-0. The M-6s on the Southern Pacific were fondly known as "Valley Mallets" for their pulling power in the California valleys. I have specifically chosen to model 1765, which is one of 3 remaining M-6 locomotives (not to be confused with the M-6a class, such as 1785). 1765 was built in 1902 by Baldwin locomotive works as a Vauclain compound but was later converted to a conventional steam locomotive in 1912, and then superheated in 1919 by the SP. 1765 ran between Los Angeles and San Bernardino, and had its last overhaul done in 1953. It was retired in 1958, and sold two years later for scrap to the National Metals Company on Terminal Island. It remained there until it was purchased by Irene Lewis in 1966 for display at the Lomita Railroad Museum, where it remains to this day. (Nos. 1744 & 1727 versions coming soon!)
