This is the most clever way I think I’ve ever seen a Lego moc built

Thanks for comment :)

[@DistanceNsVeterans]

Yes the man has done it he built the U.P DDA40X unit in the mini way

[@el_cucino]

Wow prostě wow tohle je jeden z nejlepších micro scale lego vlaků co jsem kdy viděl.

Díky za kladný komentář. Taková docela hranatá mašina, ale snad se blíží originálu :)

[@uwesalzmann3398]

Well done! I love your tiny creations :)

Thanks - my favorite scale (or also smaller - three studs wide).

[@JesusGonzalez-gs1cd]

Honestly, these builds are really cool. Channel's quite underrated, and deserves more love. Cheers!

I like how the bricks are magically going to the build XD

:) Thanks for comment.

[@kraftigamer]

@ i think you built it off camera and then de-assembled it and uploaded it in reverse, so you picking up the bricks is actually you dropping them in reverse@ am I correct?

[@paweborkowski6959]

Amazing. If only I had the parts.

Try Bricklink.com.

[@jannyjiang4334]

You’re the best lego building ever

:) Nice to read this, but there are many others much better builders.

[@trainspottervlbg2429]

Nice Video. Is a Covered Hopper of the usa a good idea?

Nice wagon. Maybe I will make it with some other locomotive.

[@Thatonekeith]

For those who don't know it's not in reverse he just has powers

[@CzasNaKlocki]

Thanks :)

[@caedmon2behrens186]

These are so good, I could never do that :(

You can do a lot of things with the right bricks :)

Hello! Love this video! The Brick Links web link in the description isn’t showing up for me. Is there an updated link we could try? My son is OBSESSED with Union Pacifics. If existing building kits existed, we would have already gotten him one. Would love to try to recreate this with him. Just need some further details. Thanks for inspiring us!!

Thanks for comment - nice to read my creation inspired someone. You can try this link - www.bricklink.com/v3/studio/edit.page?idModel=237978.

Love your videos! Could you make a tutorial on how to make the EMD SD9?

Thanks for your tip.

[@SuperWAGs1]

My favourite train! I already made one in full lego size. Now I can have one in my 'faraway' part of my layout too!

[@EvilTheD]

What scale?

[@SuperWAGs1]

I don't build to scale, much like Lego generally... but it's about 64 studs long and 6 wide, driven by 4 lego motors. Big enough for Minifig, and good enough in its proportions and details for me. It's much the same as 2 of the official Maersk trains stuck together. It was a fun challenge to make which was the primary motivation for me doing so. Much like the real locomotive, it is very limited as to where it can run on my layout - but it does run. I will post a full video featuring it to my own channel in time - but that may be a long time in the future, as I am currently in building mode (including lots of trial and error, which is how I tend to do things). For now there is a glimpse of it in my intro (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmHYcmyfmrFsepI). I don't post videos very often, and don't intend to monetise, but if you want to see more of it feel free to subscribe.

[@Ogham11]

What is an alternative for the neck brackets aka the to connectors on the front and back on the locomotive if I don’t have them

Maybe a LEGO Bar Holder with Clip (11090 / 44873) and some kind of hook (like 60849 or 194) could work.

[@Ogham11]

Ok

[@Rizky_drmwn]

but in my opinion what makes the toy less original is the bumper that touches the floor

Thanks for the comment - it's an older model, today I'd probably go five studs wide and I'd definitely try to make other bumpers.

Why is there a hole in the train but I like it

I tried to imitate a real locomotive. If I'm not mistaken, they are actually two coupled locomotives (engines). i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/c4/16/7bc416a216d77fca82c274be077f4d51.jpg.

[@stufffan3773]

didn't the EMD DDA40X only have 3 axles (6 wheels) per bogie?

I found version with four axles on each side - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMD_DDA40X.
