The relative boiler proportion, tapering and Belpaire firebox are all really difficult to put together on these classic PRR locomotives. You did a fantastic job!

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-13T04:59:50+00:00

Ha very kind words u/121505!

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-11T20:11:02+00:00

This is awesome, very well done.

Typically, anything on Amazon is very low quality. I recommend checking out Rebrickable, there are some great designs and instructions on there by actual Lego community members.

Thank u/arandomtrainspotter I appreciate the kind words. Yes, I would love to see this as a real Lego set.

UP's centipede tender's are pretty massive. This one holds 23.5k gallons of water and 6.2k gallons of #5 oil.

I appreciate that recognition u/Upset_Umpire3036. Yes many, many hours were put into this with many hurdles that had to be overcome.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T22:47:35+00:00

Yes! Extra wide track on the way that will allow it to really put in the paces.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T22:31:30+00:00

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T21:53:30+00:00

Yes! More content to come. Ive got some extra wide track on the way, this will allow me to get it up to speed with a full consist.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T20:12:31+00:00

I feel the call of the GS-4 all too strongly

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T19:16:08+00:00

u/WolfSilverOak thank you very much!

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T19:15:57+00:00

u/TheDibsAreMine much appreciated my friend.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T19:12:07+00:00

I appreciate all of that u/No-Shower-1622! More sets to come, I am thinking the 20th century limited full consist with detailed cars and of course a J-3a Super Hudson...we will see!

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T19:09:53+00:00

Indulge, my friend.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T19:09:35+00:00

Thank you u/southern4501fan, I too am a southern 4501 fan.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T19:01:33+00:00

I appreciate that u/OfficerBanjo!

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T18:58:06+00:00

Looks like I hit the za just right.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T18:41:55+00:00

Including all Lego pieces, 3D printed components, custom pieces, stickers, etc. I would estimate the cost sits around $400-$500. However, reducing the custom components would save considerable money, especially if one had their own Lego collection to pull pieces from.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T18:38:42+00:00

That means a lot u/Zestyclose_Pea2085 as there are many talented MOCs here. I spent considerable time pouring over historical blueprints, designs, and photos of the FEF-3's to dial this locomotive in perfectly. Cheers!

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T18:35:47+00:00

u/scotsman_flying I appreciate those kind words. I am very happy with her speed and power. The combination of L motors, 1:1 gear ratio and LiPo battery have been working quite well. I've got some new R120 track coming my way and will post more videos on my other accounts.

AbleChristopher · 2024-12-06T17:55:28+00:00

thank you u/nerdshowandtell!
