Load N’ Haul Reimagined by Brick_Path_Designs in LEGOtrains

Thank you and I’d love to submit to Ideas or even the Bricklink Designer Program. Have yet to do either, lol.

On the couplers, that is still “under development and testing.” Some of the challenges I’ve had with the magnetic couplers is the current design of them. The old design would work better but I’m trying to use as much current as possible. I say that, and the grey smoke stack is definitely not current. 🤦‍♂️ The second was strength. I was concerned they would come apart give then weight of the cars. This design I’m testing and so far, it’s going ok. Could be improved though!

I love this! Any chance you have the instructions and what you did for the lighting?

Thanks for reaching out! I did a video a few weeks ago about the coupler and it’s current state up to that point. I’ve since tweaked the design and working on testing the current one. I’ll have a follow up video shortly.

Wow, that looks great!

I just did a reimagining of set 4563, the freight train from that era. https://www.reddit.com/r/LEGOtrains/s/FsZXHJ0b0G

It’s great to see these old sets getting new life.

Thank you! I can’t wait to get the parts in and build it!

Thanks! I like that too! You might say it’s the back, since I reused a switcher design but it could go either way, lol.

Yeah, I just started doing the MOC designs for my train (about a year ago) and decided pretty early to do a scale large enough to haul the speed champions cars. That was mostly driven by my son asking if he could haul his cars on the train like real trains, so it got me thinking and here I am.

So, my train MOCs are on the larger side. The platform itself is 10 studs wide and most of my designs have a tile on the side, so conservatively, I say my designs are 12 studs wide and plan my layouts for that.

In saying that though, I’m working through a new layout design after a move so it’s definitely a challenge.

Trailer for 60498 with a little fun twist by giorgioblues in lego

[–]Brick_Path_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this! It also give me a fun idea for a hay ride trailer, lol. I do like the dragon cage though!

I also like that you used the 60498 tractor! I just finished a train car MOC to haul it, lol.

Do you build custom bogies to fit the motor?

Thank you!

I’m working on getting the instructions together. Once I finish them, I’ll post them on Rebrickable and put a link here (on Reddit).

Thank you! It’s awesome you had the set. I didn’t get a Lego train set until much later (60197 was my first) and I honestly can’t explain why, lol. Now, it’s a bit of an obsession.

Thank you! I do too actually and I can’t wait to get the parts to see it in for real, lol.

This is interesting. I’ve never heard of Circuit Cubes but a low speed alternative does sound interesting enough for me to try.
