Cat Sized Lego Train

Building an RC Lego train that cats can ride in with 3D printed rails and wheels. My 2 cats Cookie and Muffin are tired of walking, they’d rather travel by Lego train.
Lego isn't designed for building a large train that can carry cats because it lacks large wheels and rails for smooth movement. To solve this, 3D printing was used to create these parts. The rail switches use magnets or rubber for automatic changing. The bogies have a suspension system to handle uneven tracks and curve tilts, with each wheel powered by a strong, compact Lego L motor. The axles are made of aluminium to avoid bending under the weight.
The bogies feature an automatic coupling system like those in American trains, which can be opened using air pressure.
The train's frame is flexible and only sturdy when combined with the outer shell, it keeps the train low for easy boarding. This frame also contains pipes for door operation and coupling, along with wiring for non-Lego LED lights.
The train is powered by 3 Lego Powered Up hubs, allowing for extra sensors to automate the train further.
The carriages are designed like trams, the only type suitable for transporting cats, as the cat's weight helps with wheel-rail friction. A standard locomotive would need to be very heavy to pull cat-filled carriages.
The train has an open roof for quick cat exits.
Programming was done with the Lego Powered Up app, enabling light color changes with direction and control over pneumatic valves through servos.
I introduced the cats gradually to the train to make sure they aren’t scared of it.

[@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. 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.

This is a tremendous achievement of Lego engineering, 3D printing, programming, pneumatics and electronics. However, my main reaction is OH MY GOD YOUR CATS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. They are obviously very much loved and well cared for! My own cat used to enjoy going for rides on the kitchen trolley so it's possible he would have been readier to use your train. When my niece visited I sat him on the trolley and she pushed him respectfully up and down the hall.

Until a few minutes ago, I was the best cat dad around. Need to stop letting the cats watch these. Great job enjoyed the video.

[@kashmeerar]

Funniest thing is, you built such beautiful bogies but had to put cardboard box inside just to make cats sit inside. Brilliant project❤

[@rudidup]

I'm a railway engineer, and this was incredible to see. You nailed it. It's amazing I love everything about it.

[@AndersAstrand]

Hahaha. Cookie is all like "I have no idea why I'm getting constantly fed snacks right now, but I approve!" At the end 😂. Such cuties both of them.

Video title: silly train for kitty! Video content: engineering masterpiece

[@TSMGL_Youtube]

As a Train fan, someone who is a volunteer trolley/tram operator irl, as well as a lego aficionado and cat person, this is truly amazing!!! This is the most realistic functioning lego train (or trolley or tram) I've ever seen! From the couplers, to the suspensions on the trucks, to the pneumatics, this is truly an amazing lego model! Well done!!!

10:23 - Everdell spotted! Such a great tabletop game 😃

[@sansthefunnyskeleton8606]

i swear, when cats are content with their owners, they can be one of the cutest mammals of all time...

[@Uknown_X_Ghost]

This man puts lots of effort to build this train but only for his cats ohh my god respect this guy

[@lt6532]

No animals were harmed in the making of this film. And also, everything about it is just brilliant!

The amount of quality in design, engineering, programming and cat handling would be impressive on their own. You excelled in all four, so I can do nothing but give the highest praises to you. The dedication, the time you took to put in additional jokes (printing corner railway just for a throwaway gag), the time consuming task to source all the bits and pieces to make the build work... It's nothing short of inspirational. You are a master artisan in my view.

[@user-op8fj7cr5w]

for me this is the your best video.this train for cats very beautiful, and one thing.the square railway is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery useful!

[@widat85]

11:26 MARKETING 😂😭😭

[@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.

Don't know about anyone, but I find this oddly satisfying

[@Mangaka718]

I love your cats, I love your builds, I love your editing, and I love your little note at the end too. Oh my god. This fills me with determination. I haven't had this much serotonin in years.

[@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..."

12:31 bro just brung back a memory i have never thought of in 5 years (hence the song)
