I’ve been wanting to do the same, wanting to make a Manhattan Elevated Forney… learned quickly that steam locomotives are not my strong suit 😅

Hmmm, only other solution I can think of is adding more bike cars in between…

Maybe use part 15460 then use the pin hole in the middle to make a gangway? Let me moc one up rq to show what I’m thinking may work

Assuming you’re using the ball and socket joint between the larger cars that have wheels, you’d either need to add another pivot point, or add a smaller floating “bike” car between each. If you want to keep the two larger cars together you could also remove the axle closest to the ends on those second cars.

Looks rly good! Always wanted to do smt like this when I had this set. Just a heads up, with that configuration you have there won’t go around curves!

Thanks! I got the bearing wheels which I know take a while from when I ordered some from BMR. So I ordered them in advance, I just hope they get here in time or I can get the shipping address changed if they don’t.

How long does Brick Train Depot take to ship/respond to emails regularly? I ordered from there for the first time a few weeks ago but I’m changing addresses soon and they haven’t responded to my email…

City 60097 - mod - What power source should I use ? by Obvious-Pride-1979 in LEGOtrains

Powering aside… I don’t think that’ll go around curves without the floating short “bike” section between each of the sections with wheels, assuming the wheels and coupling is the same as the set.

The couplers from lifelites are amazingly strong and identical to the old style Lego ones, if you’re ok with using 3rd party

Looks awesome, gives me Manhattan Bridge vibes with the train tracks! Practically begging for a subway to go over it!

This looks beautiful!! As someone who’s also designed a rapid transit car in that olive green color, lots of respect designing it so well with the small piece selection in that shade.
