"Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife—chopping off what's incomplete and saying: ‘Now, it's complete because it's ended here.’
-—from Collected Sayings of Muad'Dib, by the Princess Irulan"
After deciding to build this for real, I’ve realized it’s a very difficult shape to capture in brick. There are some angles I like, and plenty I don’t. If you squint, you can see what I’m going for. The windows look okay, but they’re far from perfect—particularly too low toward the sides of the loco.
The front works well enough, but the new 2×3 curved slope from the latest Gizmo set might be the answer. I actually think it would be perfect for Tony Sava’s legendary 8-wide model.
I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on what I could improve.

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 first of two buildings that make up my entire contribution.
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 hope you like it and stay tuned for the second building which I'll be posting in the upcoming days (that one was nominated for best small building :D)
Fun fact: I built the train model almost a year ago. I wanted to build a moc with it and post it at the end of last summer but lack of time or motivation and constant change of ideas made me finish it 10 months later.
The idea of building an old train or a locomotive came while playing Red Dead Redemption II, so yeah, the game was the main inspiration, even tho there isn’t much Western-like stuff on the moc.
Hope you like it :)
It's about time I shared what I've been up to recently. This is my layout project which has been slowly coming along since the beginning of 2020..until recently. With the last lego show before I leave for college almost a month away, I've been cranking away at getting this great project done.
It should be mentioned that a decent number of my builds are hidden off camera, or at least have yet to be photographed and put online. Some make it to different platforms before others, but this is the first bigger reveal of this project and I'm excited to show you what it looks like when it's all done. I've been making so many buildings and models that I can't keep up with sharing them, so what you see in these photos will be shown in greater detail later on.
One of the big things the layout lacks however is a name for the village that it will be based around. The signal box sign says "Wickford", however I don't think this will be the final name. Any suggestions?
Many more photos to come. It's already looking spectacular and i can't wait until it's finished. Enjoy!
It is a kind of speed build MOC for community event "Train-day". That's why you can see here some holes in structure and poor detailing. As for me the best thing here is the street lamp
A full gallery with break down component pictures of how this was built will be up in my Brickshelf folder in the next few days. www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=432359
Red vinyl has been used to replicate current parts that I did not have and also extremely old rare parts that were just too expensive too purchase ( such as the old style macaroni bricks www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x1042a at $7.00 each!) These would give the smooth clean lines of the sloped boiler that is seen here. The gap between the sloped sections is generally covered by the hand rail, but me being me covered it all in vinyl as I dislike even the smallest gaps ;)
I have often seen comments that the HE should be dark red, this is incorrect, the engine (Olton Hall) that was used for the film is red. The carriages are crimson. The dark red vinyl I have is too dark for the carriages, thus these got built in red as the window shape was important to me. LEGO dark red would be the perfect colour for these carriages, but the windows are not made in this colour :| Hello TLG ;)
The subway is a place where mundane meets magic; where weird and wonderful things happen.
Built for the IDEAS LEGO House contest, catagory "Minifigure". I got inspired by the viral Youtube video "Two Total Strangers Have Saxophone Battle on NYC Subway Train". I really enjoyed making this quirky build, and I hope it brings a smile to your face as well. Also, super happy with the main shot! :D

Hello,
I actually wanted to build the ÖBB 1044!
Because of the dark green windows—
Unfortunately, the 1044 was never available in green—so it ended up being a Czech locomotive!
The prototype is the T 754.
7-hour wide motor PU
Let's continue building some LEGO Microscale Habitats!
The ninth of my series is a train ride through the mountains.

Still 'naked', missing a lot of greeble parts and coupling rods to arrive. Really cool to see a steam locomotive with those drive wheels handle the narrow gauge switches.
Currently working on the tender.
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.

Alternative shot for this MOC. Can't decide which one is better.

A prototypical model of a ballast through plate girder bridge. This bridge is designed in a very similar manner to that of a real through plate girder bridge, mimicking the same structural engineering techniques and styles. This model has been designed with both cosmetics and strength in mind (I designed this model specifically for my own 1:38 scale trains which are considerably larger and heavier than typical LEGO trains).

With these bookends it looks like a train is on its way through a tunnel in your books.

I left from Emeryville, CA around 10:30 PM on Thursday night. This picture, taken from my cell phone, shows the train in the station as people get on and off the train.

I'm currently redesigning my GWR 1400. I know I haven't posted Lego in a bit but don't worry I still love this hobby. I'm not going to peruse motorizing this model, and I will push it with my motorized GWR Siphon G wagon that I will get the correct color parts for in the future. I also redesigned the cab and I need pictures of inside the cab on the side of the coal bunker. Please send me these pictures of you have them. As always please leave comments.
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

Pre-Vectron model.
1:45 scale.
The shape was inspired by Beck's Vectron
The most challenging part was the brick-build CP Logo and I had help from Nicolas Tbx on the design

(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!)
Render image of a little passenger car similar to No. 1002 of the Hespertalbahn museum railway (www.hespertalbahn.de/fahrzeuge/247-fahrzeugportrait-1002).
A little passenger car modeled after No. 1002 of the Hespertalbahn museum railway, ex Pörtingssiepen colliery No. 2 (www.hespertalbahn.de/fahrzeuge/247-fahrzeugportrait-1002).
Modeled after the unit(s) used by Lehigh Portland Cement Co. One of the few instances 8 wide would have been an acceptable compromise to get the proportions more prototypically correct, but 6 wide forever. Prototypically, the cab appears to have a 1:1 length to width, give or take.
I believe this is just about as small as you can make a locomotive with the new (to me) Powered Up RC train components. Regardless, I'm really chuffed with it. It swings outside it's weight class, partially because almost all of it's mass is directly above the friction bands.
Huge shoutout to the Hafner's not only for the last-minute hospitality, but also the materials that inspired this build. You guys are gems.
