Building a Cat-Sized Lego Train

[@BrickTechnology]

Thank you so much for all the positive vibes in the comments! I've never seen so much support on one of my videos before, and it means a lot to me. Let me address some common questions: This project has been the most challenging and intense video I've ever tackled. It took a solid two months to bring this video to life, with the first month entirely devoted to designing and perfecting the train. The concept for the train tracks was actually brainstormed by my friend Thomas. The printing process itself took another two months, with my two Bambulab printers running all the time. These machines are incredible and were key to finishing the tracks on time, unlike most printers, which just can't keep up. You can support me and order a printer via this link: shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=2282157&u=4247393&m=138211&urllink=&afftrack= I considered using Lego tracks, but the cost would have been astronomical-nearly 10 times more than my 3D printed version. Plus, I wouldn't have been able to customize the tracks as I did. Lego is always making new parts, so I figured, why not do the same? I'd really like to share the STL files for the tracks and wheels with you all. However, I'm hesitant for two reasons: Firstly, there's the issue of people selling STL files they don't own, which I want to avoid. Secondly, these files aren't ready to use right off the printer; they require significant adjustments, especially the switch tracks, and unfortunately, I just don't have the time to make them user-friendly. As for the cost of this video, it's a bit tricky to calculate since I used a lot of parts from my existing Lego collection and already owned one of the printers. But to give you an idea: - additional Bambulab P1S Printer: 750 Euro - 3D Printing Filament (18Kg): Around 250 Euro - Electronics: 100 Euro - Lego Parts from Bricklink: 600 Euro Needless to say, I'm not looking forward to the electric bill. Overall, I invested about 1700 Euro into this project, without any guarantee that my cats would even be interested in the train. Getting my cats accustomed to the train was probably the toughest part. They're naturally curious and playful, but anything new and moving can spook them. We took it slow, introducing the train in the living room and making it a cozy spot for them by playing nearby and offering treats only around or inside the train. Filming the train scenes took a whole week. There were times when the cats weren't feeling it, and other times they loved it but the footage didn't turn out. It was definitely a challenge, but our top priority was making sure the cats were having fun. This would’t have been possible without my fiancee. Regarding inspiration, while I admire “Half-Asleep Chris” and his work, this video has been in the pipeline for nearly a year, with the initial track designs starting in May 2023, well before Chris's puppy train video. I'm a big fan of his, but our approaches to Lego builds are quite different. That said, a video by “Target86 Design” did spark the idea for this train project. Check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4vTh4aBnKx5jM0 A project like this is always a gamble, not knowing if the time and money invested will pay off. But fulfilling this childhood dream for myself and sharing it with others has been incredibly rewarding. I've never enjoyed making a video as much as this one. I love trains, I love lego and I love cats.

I am particularly impressed that you invested such an enormous amount of time, money, and engineering into something based almost entirely on whether or not a cat would like it.

Cats have been training humans to do their bidding for centuries. These cats have clearly got this down to a fine art.

[@Fuzzypattyg]

Fuzzy my 30 lb Maine Coon she's absolutely massive she's actually 3 1/2 lbs underweight but she seems to like that way because she's been pretty consistently that late with plenty of food to eat for almost 7 years so none of us are complaining either way she absolutely loves when I build her crazy wacky shit kind of like this guy in this video except I made a actually good trained not one that's made out of crappy Legos personally I prefer 027 gauge American steam trains and have built custom carriages for my cat considering it is about 14 acres of track going around my 42 Acres of property she likes it to travel to specific locations and I have set up Raspberry pies to turn it into automated Precision scheduled railroading for my cat you don't even want to know how much money or time it took to do that and remember we do not own cats they decide to own us

It's interesting not to just see the steps of the build, but also all the miss-steps, and why those solutions didn't work. Oftentimes, people think "Wouldn't it be easier to just...", not realizing that this has already been tried. Also, I love how it ended up sounding pretty much exactly like an actual electric train.

As a train mechanic who just finished their education on train components. Its very fun and interesting to see a lot of components and features we learn about in our education made from lego. Its so interesting to see how you tackled making the components and make them work just like a real train, like your couplings and bogies were nearly on point! The electrical and pneumatic systems were used for the correct components as well which I found very nice to see.

You're a great owner for not forcing them to get accustomed to the train and for telling others they should be the same way. Your cats are clearly well-loved and cared for ❤

The coupling design was incredible to see working and the design. The right-angle track made me snort so loud I think my neighbor heard me. Such a cool concept to include the wheel design and suspension in a method and way that allows for the system to still keep a balanced load while going around turns and coming up to or coming down from speed. A great design all around, and the cats got extra treats!

How to use cats and Lego to make people interested in, railroads, dispatching, electronics, electrical engineering, programming, design, aesthetics and more People truly see the justification for something when they see how it is more convenient, pleasing and overall ingenious Bravo

I am so impressed with your extensive and seemingly innate grasp of how things work together in a system. What a great engineer you must be. I enjoyed this so much!

Lol, I appreciate them not forcing the cats onto the train and instead giving them an incentive to get in.

That is the only way to get them in, you can't just put them in, they're cats.

This needs to be a Lego set! The motorized Axels, to the coupling mechanism and the tracks! And even automatic opening doors! And having patience to put the cat in the train is just fun to watch! Hope Lego hires you.

I'm a cat person and I used to love building with Lego when my son was little so this is double joy for me. I am so impressed with the ingenuity you display. This is a total joy to watch. Thank you.

The engineering behind this is next level. But the greatest part was how you looked after the animals by letting them get used to it over time. GG

Thank you KZbin for recommending me this video out of the blue, this is sick. I didn’t come in expecting it but I have a great appreciation for all the technical aspects of your design. When you added the suspension I very quickly realized you weren’t just making some simple toy train lol

It’s astounding how close much of the functionality of the Lego train is to how a full size one works. You’ve done a fantastic job.

[@MultiPurposeReviewer]

Ah, I love it. The dedication you put into this is truly commendable. When you asked "will cats ever enjoy train rides", my first though was "well, with constant bribery..."

[@sidneyholm7112]

I have never seen such an advanced and detailed build of a lego train ever! So cool how you built boggies with suspension, pneumatic couples and doors and switching direction lights from the ground up. The engineering is like the real thing! Very impressive! Would love to see more lego builds on this new railway gauge you have made!

[@bellarose6509]

Very interesting! Great job with both the train and the cats! PS: Nice socks!😊

[@Tactical-AR15]

0:35 Cat: "What is happening?" (The cats realizing that if they just sit in Lego train they can get free treats is so funny)

[@Floedekage]

What you could do (especially considering these look and function like trams) is install a small bell that rings when cat treats are dispensed. That way the cats would recognise the bell as giving out treats in the tram and then board.

[@juliusfucik4011]

This video is a work of art. The skills involved. Videography. LEGO. Animal training. Incredible ❤

[@LM-fn6qb]

I love the way you give advice about making it and how to adjust your pets to it as if every mere mortal could just whip up one of these astonishing trains. Cats aside, I've always wondered why there weren't bigger train sets for teddies and dolls. I suppose they take up too much room in the house. Well, my little dog Griffin would have been in one of those carriages before they were finished. He loved anything that went. He rode the broom when I was sweeping, the same with the vacuum, took turns around the garden in the wheelbarrow and was a reckless skateboarder. I cannot imagine how giddy he would have been with his own train. Thanks for a truly marvellous video.
