LEGO Cargo Train - Lights & Rechargeable Upgrade 3677 8878 🚆🔋💡🏹

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

Just a little advisory... Be careful with those LiPo battery cells. 1, don't ever puncture them (significant fire hazard); 2, don't remove all of the foam rubber - it holds the cells away from the base of the box, and it is important to avoid pressure points on the cells; 3, it is important that there is some space in the battery box for the cell pouches to expand in the event that they become pressurised - a common occurrence when they are at the end of their working life. I don't want to be accused of scaremongering, but the last thing you want is a Lithium battery fire in the house. Cells at that size can burn very fiercely if they decide to let go. (Had to do this at work a few years ago as part of checking how much damage a single 1300mAh cell can do.) Nice upgrade to the loco, too.

[@KimaButter]

Yeah I kept thinking please snip the skew pegs don’t get rid of the felt pads

[@thenetheriteminecartzactnm]

Then just use the normal battery boxes and have to replace 6 AAA batteries every once in a while, I use them for Powered Up and they last a while, my 60197 set is now in a lot of pieces cuz I may have stepped on it (I can get another one of those from eBay so not a big deal and I have 60337 on my TO DO list of building lego).

Breaking News: Brick Nottingham has burnt down due to a locomotive fire, many building damaged, the cargo train has lost a locomotive and part of the tracks has burnt. LOL THAT HAS TO HAPPEN TO POOR 3677 AT ONE POINT

[@eciacud]

3677 was and is to this day one of my favourite Lego trains so far. I remember getting it back in 2012. I am amazed by your modifications, as you made things that I thought were impossible such as modifying rechargeable battery box. I was even more impressed with a light upgrade, as this was my only PF train that I never added lights on because I’ve haven’t come up with a solution for that. I think this locomotive might be based on Polish class SM42 diesel shunter locomotive as it shares many similarities with it such as that large fan in the front part of the locomotive. This would also explain why it is so tall, as while shunting taller cabin gives driver a better filled of view and allows the him to look over the wagons, so that he can see signal posts while locomotive is moving wagons from the back.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Yes I need this red cargo .still $400 .not to bad a price as it's. New in box ..and the yellow cargo one like it..I still need to but can get new in box for $400 ish 😊.I hope to get them asap.

It would be so cool if you were able to bring the whole freight train to a convention and run it on a huge layout

I think that you should invest into some crossover to link both tracks together. Moving all these wagons one by one by hand must be irritating! Btw, this loco really ressembles the Polish SM42, looks really similar.

[@lifeoutdoorseveryday1682]

Fantastic! I think you could use the horizontal studs in the new wagon to make some cargo secured on a hidden flat plate. I agree that loose cargo isn't a great idea. Looks like the cement wagon also needs a little TLC to make it spin better.

What a lovely build this is - great adaptation of an existing quality train. Impressive skills to get in and adapt the normally inaccessible electrics - just be careful that we don’t get Robin Electrocuted Bricks. One request? Might we see the full circle of cargo train with it all going around in an unbroken loop? Thanks for an another excellent video.

[@amseladams]

Great work, Robin, to cram all those cables into the 3677 locomotive. Especially the LEDs with their brick in the middle of the cable can be a real pain in that regard. For train fans who are looking for a way to run a locomotive with two PF motors I'd like to mention another option, which is to add a switch bb0339c02 between the receiver and one of the motors to change the motor direction. If there is room for the switch, that is. As for the red battery box: when I rebricked the locomotive I used a regular grey battery box and covered it on the sides with red adhesive vinyl foil used for plotters to save a some money as the red battery boxes go for a crazy prize on BL. Keep up the great work! Cheers

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Ahhh good thinking. The light's brick in the cable can be useful for getting a wire through a structure that needs to be solid like my monorail. Here they just got in the way!

[@TrainsForNSWVlogs]

You can use the technique on the 60197, 60198, 60337 that covers the battery box.

the bit at the top on a diesel is usually electric resistors to dump the heat from the dynamic/regenerative braking so having it look like an electrical connection fits with the real thing! EDIT: its horns on a diesel, not a whistle, because theres nothing to make any steam for steam whistles to work

[@prestonhinga8812]

Hey! I've got a little idea for your new locomotive! You can make a second unit for it, and perhaps hide another battery box and use 2 more motors in it to have technically another "engine". It would technically be called a calf unit, and they are normally used to help engines like that shut and such.

[@Mitsubeasti]

I have a similar setup with that loco using a reversed power functions motor and an old 9v motor. Again I use the same wire to connect both motors. Most of my “stock” locos have this setup, just hate the having to change batteries all the time. Like the upgrade you gave it to hide everything inside. It can be a challenge!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yeah, at four studs wide this was real wires origami!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Fire engine wagon? Is that a thing? Or did you just invent it? Hmm, it seems to be a locomotive with a water cannon on the front. Might be a height issue but it's worth exploring!

[@doctorcreeps2169]

the way you modifed the train is absolutely amazing, even the 100% illegal techniques (watch out for the super secret police!). I also love how all the wires are Packed & Stacked inside the train, i’m sure it must weigh a ton with all that stuff inside it! i’m pretty sure the modern train magnets have stud connections on the top and bottom of them so if you want to prevent the trains from breaking apart you could maybe put 1x2 plates on the tops and bottoms of the magnets just for extra strength! good luck :)

[@BlockHeadUK]

A great improvement and well done for successfully kit-bashing your motors and battery box 👍🏻

[@acaciaphoenix6348]

A very easy way to avoid those seperations without the need to buy raw earth magnets, is to do something many real cargo trains do, and disperse the locomotives throughout the locomotive. For example, two at the front, 1 in the middle and 2 close to the rear. Having some push, some pull and some do both allows the pressure to be reduced on the magnets/couplings, and will also greatly reduce the effects of friction in corners thanks to more evenly distributed power!

[@acaciaphoenix6348]

Aaaand commented too soon hahaha!

[@jackgamer6307]

If you are struggling with magnets, and don't mind a bufer not wuite as shiny as an injection molded piece, I can provide you with files for 3d printed buffers that you can out neodynium magnets into. (They look like the old type of buffer with the exposed magnet, but with my design the magnet is enclosed by the plastic and cannot escape) (Edit: As well as provide a frame for the torpedo car's wheel to match the other 3 axles) Also as a sidenote, the motor would also run in reverse if you had just flipped the orange bits when it was open, no soldering needed)

[@RobinHoodBricks]

You can make a scene where you fill the carriage with 1x1 tiles and then it rains and becomes concrete converting the tracks into a tramway.

[@lopunny8765]

suggestion: put 2 locomotives in the front of the train, and 1 locomotive in the back or the middle as real railways/railroads will use the same arrangement, to move long lines of fright/cargo, and link-up locomotives and call them (Mid & rear DPU's).

The fan thing is to allow hot air to escape as diesel trains get diesel they trap it in a compressor before it gradually gets heated up then it gets transferred to a generator which converts the hot diesel into electricity which then powers the motor, lights, radio and air conditioning

[@aaronbrandenburg2441]

Suggestion on the locomotive that you're adding rechargeable battery pack to Since there is already the rounded section on the front of the cab. and of course the hole in the top might require some modification of the structure just a bit but there's something that could be really realistic added to hear besides you've already have the power functions lights added An idea would be to use the 9 volt single lamp brick in the at the bottom of the locomotive on the of end of the stack of the rounded portion. this could be done if done right I believe it might fit and using a Technic pin with the. Hollow stud. Then either using the Bionicle type eyepiece whichever it is that's the transparent red Dome or the old 9 volt transparent red Dome. Installed on top of the Technic pin as the flashing Beacon for locomotive. But it is pretty effective. I have done this myself with something similar in another locomotive. Also I built a caboose once that use the 9 volt fiber optic system and just two of the fibers. have both the beacon and also the single flashing rear light on the train using this setup Use the micro motor to run the mechanical side of the fiber optic unit. Internal illumination was using power functions LEDs in this case one set of them. Used the Lego fiber optic cables to do the rear lights of the Caboose as well even had a lamp in the upper Caboose window area. Use the spillover white from the rear lights to light the interior as well. And of course the other area where the fiber optic unit and so on is windowless of course Worked out pretty well and was brother unique and definitely one off. Going annoying part was in some parts there was a light leaking where I grounded some of the fiber optics I realized I could wrap with the black minifigure capiz to block the light spell through the red bricks.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Sounds good as a rear light but there's not much space inside this loco for anything else!

[@edoardodoni1261]

My question is, why not using the 9V system ? There's a company called FX tracks that makes compatible 9V tracks, and they are also developing new motors, because 6 locomotives with 6 stilo each are a massive and expansive number to maintain On the long term the 9V is obviously cheaper, and with infinite playtime And also you can add an engine everywhere you want because it don't need battery, cables or receiver

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The 9V system can't power infinite motors as its current is limited. I worked it out a while back and it'd power about six or maybe eight or so maximum. Also each 9V motor is about 70% as powerful as a PF one. So 6 at 70% would be about 4 of these, and I have ten. Also I don't use AAA batteries as I have the awesome PF rechargeable battery boxes, 8878!

I considered buying that to add normal wheels onto but decided it wasn't worth it. Too much to change. Check out some of the older city monster trucks. Some have good elastic suspension but less crazy looking like 60180 or maybe just go for fixed wheels like 60027!
