Ok

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thanks!

[@eciacud]

I have a suggestion about the windows in the wagon. You should keep the white glass in windows, but the frame for the windows looks a bit unrealistic, same go for the brown line going on the window glass. In my opinion it will look better if you change the window frame for the one you had with clear windows. Just a little suggestion from the subscriber.

@@RobinHoodBricks What is the name or number of this brick at around 22:08 .

[@cookieghost1239]

Looks really cool when both of them cross the bridge at the same time.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, I should do more train filming. I bet if get some great footage. I'm usually tired by the end of a video and with editing still to do!

[@buddyhoward8963]

Oh my good flying welts, when it comes to the the windows, I think if you put the frosted windows on the base of the train, then the plane windows in the coupala, which was with some railroads used mainly for observation, it may do the trick

[@lancehylau3253]

Buddy Howard goooooood ideaaaaa

[@theventuracountyrailfan]

Yes!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Mix it up, eh? I'll take a look at it!

[@buddyhoward8963]

If I'm getting this kind of response with simple comments rather regularly, I really need to set aside some money and time and start a lego forward channel

[@o_l_w]

I also like the fish and chip sign in the back and the flag in the front

[@gnocchijack6371]

Oscar's Lego Worlds yes indeed

[@BlockHeadUK]

Yes, if it is in front it obsures the nice feature of the widow.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I agree. It was my original plan and I'll go back to it!

[@kamrynshaw-foreman413]

Suggestion: I feel like the door behind the man should have the train windows to give a little bit of variety, and to kind of show that, that is a door.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

A good plan. I'll use the windows elsewhere!

[@HarryPorpise]

I was thinking that you could use the half height doors that are on a lot of the car sets.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I don't think there's room for them to open!

[@HarryPorpise]

I was thinking that they would just be decorations and not be functional

[@HarryPorpise]

And thanks for hearting my comment

[@geologyjoerocks]

I totally agree with your choices for the windows and grille! Awesome build Robin!

Wow! This came out great! That caboose looks really sharp.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Hey, thanks!

[@davidparker7617]

I like how you include some of the creative mental processes you go through in your video (e.g. deciding which windows to use by trying one set on each side). I think this is very helpful to other creators. You're teaching/sharing a technique that can be applied not just to cabeese, but to all creative activities.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thanks, David. Yes, I like taking people on the creative journey and it also seems to be popular too!

[@davidpurdue3992]

The raised area is an observation deck not a sleeping area. The brakeman would watch over the top of the train for problems and for people climbing on top of carriages(cars in the US). Love your channel.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thanks for the info!

[@buildwithadrian6895]

I was checking comments as I would have said this comment thank you

This is really cool!! We build a boxcar for our cargo train based on this video and it turned out really good. Thanks!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yay. Excellent news. Bravo!

[@yorickz.8159]

Every lego freight train needs a caboose! Nice build!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I agree. Haha!

[@siraujus101]

very nice caboose on the loose... I really like the frosted windows and the black grill instead of the red & white. the Coupala is also used for observation of the train so the front might need the clear glass for looks. the other might be the door just for visibility. I like that you changed around the cars because the crook was really blocking the engineering view of the train from the caboose... really enjoyed the look of both trains as they travel around the track and how close they get to everything. It was great seeing the goth girl on the bridge from the hands-free cam. I forgot she was there. so many run things that pop out on your pass around. you might just for fun, making a video of basic drone footage from the city and have a can you find the list, by placing things in the scene that are new and not usual... have viewers do time stamp points they see the list of people... kind of a where's waldo... Walker Mate 33:26, 33:09... Alien Benchwarmer 33:28... Goth Couple 35:09... just a fun video idea. As always thank you for sharing your ideas and world with the rest of us. Brick Nottingham is looking amazing. Till next time keep on bricking

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That could be a fun one, I agree. Lots of good suggestions for small improvements. One plate higher and it would hit the bridge!

[@siraujus101]

Another great train MOC. I think you made the right decisions with the ornate windows and black grille pieces. 👍

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, even the big stickers worked out well. I was a little nervous of overkill!

[@magicarmyman]

this is a weird thought I had but maybe you could build a burnt out cabbose and put it on the back of the cargo train sometimes to see if people are paying attention

[@magicarmyman]

this is also a weird suggestion but put windsheild wipers on the observation deck

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I guess it must happen with a stove onboard!

[@mitchellbettencourt8306]

Looks Great Robin. I agree with your final amendments. The windows especially. The fish n chips sign I thought looked better in the back by the street. Also the mixer car is the bomb. Perhaps you should submit that to product ideas as well. I can't imagine a single train enthusiast not wanting that as part of their set.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

A lot of people have suggested that. I only worry it would dilute appeal for Fast Food Corner but maybe I will. I adore it, and I know it's unique!

@@RobinHoodBricks I think it only adds to the fact you're a great builder.

[@jkirl]

awesome , i googled because i wasnt sure if my movie memory was right but doesnt the caboose go the opposite way around so the door and platform is facing backwards from the train and the horse riders in the movies can jump on the back of the train from their horses.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

A lot of them are double ended. This seems to have people split but the brake lights must be pointing backwards and BrickTsar had it this way round. I checked!

Fantastic Caboose. This must be coming in a set of Lego trains.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Sadly only on old trains. The Disney train should've had one!

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Back in the old days brake vans were added to the back of long goods trains this was so if they were going up a steep Hill or something if the brakes on the engine failed or if the coupling was to snap the gaurd or conductor would use the brakes in this van to stop the train from rolling back

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, I said this at the beginning of the video!

[@amandahyam1666]

Looks even better on the track

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It always does. The motion really adds to everything!

[@metallonero]

That Caboose looks great, and I pretty much agreed thorough the video with all the aesthetical choices you made with it. I also especially agreed with the fact that having the log-disguised scoundrel right in front of the rail employee was a bit too hilarious and unlikely XD. As for the usual round of suggestions, I think it's better to have the fish&chips sign on the boardwalk side. While less visible for "us" it is a more logical place for minifugures to see it. Also, this way you keep the lifeguard flag towards the beach, making it more visible for all those there.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, yes and yes. We are completely aligned!

[@GJBricks]

Watch your Caboose! I was worried it would look odd but I think the way you've added the ledges, etc makes it work. And LEGO doors are rather large compared to the minifigures! Great little MOC

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Thanks very much. How's your move going? Cheers!

[@GJBricks]

@@RobinHoodBricks I've got the table mostly in, and mapped out a first pass at the layering. Need to now cut the bits of wood for it and make sure it actually works as I think it will.

Sounds great!

[@johnvocatura]

Very cool. If you end up feeling that it does not match because of the old fashioned look, you can turn it into a converted stationary diner. They are very popular where I live. Some of the owners even lay track to complete the effect.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I've seen those on my US travels!

[@Blemonade1]

Wow. I absolutely love your trains, your city station and your whole city. For the fish and chips shop: I think it's better to have the flag next to the beach and the sign next to the boardwalk.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, Max, I agree!

[@PCrailfan3790]

The raised section on a caboose is called the cupola, and its actual purpose was to allow the caboose crew to see over the top of the train

Indeed. I'm always learning with trains. I started from zero and now I'm an experienced beginner!

[@dpin6072]

Love the color scheme. Modified my Harry Potter train 75955:with the yellow stripe. You made the correct choice regarding the windows. You might want to add white studs between your brake lights and the black dish to make the red lenses be more pronounced. Lego did that in the latest passenger train side build signal, 60097.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Ahhh. First one to mention that. Good plan!

[@justaddbricks5527]

Really cool build, loving these new train builds, they’re really cool and detailed. Much prefer the more ornate windows than the old train style windows. Looking forward to Monday’s build/moc.

I love the caboose If I was the employee I would love to take a break drink my coffee and look out the back of the train at the passing city not at the cargo. I think it should face the other way around. The your could put the other carriages back the way you had them 🤫 Big Thanks for lowering the camera so no angry eyes. 👍🏼 makes a big difference.

[@bricksloth6920]

When I was a little kid living near a train track (as most people did, because a lot of freight trains cut through our town), we kids used to chase out to wave to the guy in the caboose whenever the train went by. I thought that was the guy's job, to wave to people like someone on a parade float. So of course your caboose dude will wave to any little kids he sees

[@RobinHoodBricks]

We tried to get trucks to use their horns!

[@buddylee6996]

Excellent job Robin! The design of the caboose is really fantastic. I like how you incorporated some of the design of the official lego caboose and I had a good chuckle for your loose caboose pun. I would go with the ornate glass also. To me it gives the car more detail and it looks brighter as you stated. Using the large sticker looks also really good, like it was meant to be there. I was thinking also maybe replace one of the two grill pieces on the bottom middle of the car with a 1x2 black tile and use some of the other stickers, like electrics. I do like the other grill piece over the red and white striped printed tile. The added stripe stickers on the end are a cool detail you added as well. For the inside maybe add a crossaint on the table for the train employees bacon sandwich and if you had a black round 2x2 tile with a stud on top you could put that on top of the stove, then have the pan on that for added detail like a hot plate, unless that would be to tall for the minifigure. As for the car of the day, it looks way better with the different wheels than what came with the set. I'll have to get me some of those as I have this set as well, awesome amendment! For the fish and chips shop I like the sign in the front where you moved it, but the coast guard flag is a bit hidden as well in the back. So I thought maybe move the outside light to the left side of the door and put in another brick with a stud on the side for the coast guard sign 90 degrees from the fish and chips sign so both are visible, only thing it may look a bit crowded. All in all awesome train MOC once again, the caboose is really cool but I agree that the cement mixer is still the coolest! Great video Robin!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, I love that mixer carriage. I was looking at it more than the Caboose. I think those suggestions are all good. I bought loads of those wheels and now I have a huge bag of useless balloon tyres!

[@buddylee6996]

Do you know the part numbers for the rim and tire by chance?

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I don't. Search a train on BrickLink and look at the parts inventory list. 60051 for example!

[@buddylee6996]

Will do, I should of thought of that! Thank you my friend!

[@wilsni1]

Nice build. I think a Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Light - Thick Ring as a door handle for the door in yellow would make it more of a detail for a door there.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

[@MrPolleyr]

Hey Robin .....enjoyed your project this morning. So much so, that I copied it today. As I told you before, I have an old 9V train (set 4559) Which has alternative old steam engine build. I had a caboose loosely based on the original Lego one you started with, but that was 3 years ago and I didn’t have all the right pieces then. Anyway loved your version, so now I have one also.

Good choice on the frosted windows. The train windows made it look very gloomy. The caboose looks great and realistic. I was planning on putting a train in my lego city I'm planning at the moment but I don't have alot of space and a train would take up space that could be used towards buildings

Yes, it's a bit silly but I still want to add more. It's longer than a whole long side now!

[@MarcusStarkiller]

You could always make a second "Beast" locomotive that is not powered, but have it right behind the powered version so it would look like a double header freight train. The reason I suggest this is because the freight train is getting a lot longer.

[@BrickBusiness]

Thanks 👍

[@WilliamTheMovieFan]

The last car on a train would have a red light at the back of the car, at least in the U.S. A caboose may have more than one than one or a small light “tower”.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

So mine is right then with its red lights? Cool!

[@bmuscat]

Echoing several other comments, the caboose is pointed the wrong way. The observation platform should be on the rear. Trainmen used it for observing passing trains, inspecting the rail and ties behind them for damage, to make sure their train didn't start any fires along the route and to be the leading end when shoving (backing up). From a North American standpoint, your caboose is backward. Turning it around would also make your stovepipe more accurate, as right now all the smoke goes directly at the windows. Also, as others have said, all rolling stock would have couplers on both ends.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

The direction thing is confusing as BrickTsar and LEGO had it this way. I checked. Also there are red lights on the back of the official set and mine. Many cabooses were double ended and had a platform on both ends but I have no knowledge on the subject. Maybe the cupola should be nearer the front end but, again, this was how it was in the other set!

[@audiotron1003]

Having been inside a few of these brake vans in Derbyshire they look very cosy a bit like a summer house combined with a shed. You need a hanging basket of flowers and a deck chair on ledge just to complete the look. (or not as the case may be) Oh by the way he's now face to face with the crook

[@RobinHoodBricks]

That got sorted too, although I've already got a redo of this Caboose planned!

[@o_l_w]

Awesome! Looks great one more thing cabooses had was about 5~10 years before cabooses retired trains started to have breaks in all of the cars and the caboose was for if a car decouples and the train breaks in half the air hose that goes through all the cars breaks in half this causes a drop in air pressure and inside the caboose there was a screen which displays the air pressure and if it is low they can contact the crew in the engine and tell them that the cars have uncoupled and the engine will throw the train into emergency now the railroads use these little things that are about 3/4 of 1M tall and 4~5 cm wide and they have a light and they go on the back of the train and they do the same thing air pressure drops it contacts the crew and they can stop the train it is also useful because it takes a lot of time to get a long train moving because when the front starts moving the back is still stationary so the train has to go slowly until the back starts moving or the train will rip in half so when the train is slowly crawling waiting for the back to start moving and when it does start moving the thing at the back of the train tells the crew so now the crew can start going faster. Also the thing i just described is called a E.O.T. Or end of train device. Here is a link to some pictures images.app.goo.gl/YbyiFGnonuaNu2tM9 So I guess you could have just used 3 parts and put it on the back of the train and call it a caboose lol

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Now you tell me, haha. I only built a Caboose because people asked for one!

[@DieCastoms]

Another name for the EOT device, which has a big red blinking light on it, is the "Flashing Rear End Device" or FRED, and it is "paired up" in communication to the computer in the locomotive cab which got the affectionate nickname of "WILMA" for hopefully obvious reasons! Oscar's description above is pretty accurate but I'll add a couple words to it like "coupler slack" which is why when the front of the train starts to move, the back of the train might not, yet, like when in your car and the light turns green, the first car goes but the second car doesn't instantly .. the cars 'spread out' from the stopped positions, well trains do exactly the same thing due to slack in the actual 'grip' of the couplers and also slack in other moving parts of the train, and yes, as Oscar said, if they do it too quickly they can cause damage. FRED has GPS and can tell WILMA it's speed, and brakeline pressures, and a few other things, and can actually stop the train if it senses a reduction in speed that would suggest the train uncoupled somewhere, FRED can just send a signal to have WILMA put the train into emergency braking. Modern radio equipment like FRED, and walkie talkies is what truly did-in the caboose.

[@BCjeffro420]

looks very nice!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, I think so too!

[@josephstone547]

I'm not sure what should go on the headlight bricks, I don't really like either of the options. At first, I thought the frosted windows were a bit strange, but now that I've seen the caboose fully built I think they are definitely a better choice. The only place where I think the train/plane ones are a better fit is on the "door," but I guess the other ones are fine too.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I think you're right with all that!

[@Robbie_Hildebrand]

Nice build. Bigger train logo sticker looks better. Easier to see as it moves through the city

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, I was worried at first but it does look good, especially from a distance!

[@gnocchijack6371]

Lovely!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Aww thanks!

[@smilinduck]

Such a cute little caboose. I really like the ornate window panels, but I think they should be within red frames to match all the panelling like on the real one you showed off. But then the windows on the sleeping quarters should be the little train windows. Would give more privacy to the guy and also would be more visible around the roofline. How would the train look if you put the cable/drum carriage between the two shipping containers as the train worker still can’t see. That way the the car and boulder carriages are low profile for him to look over. The coastguard flag should remain on the front as it’s more inline with the beech. I think the fish sign was fine on the pavement side. You’d see it when you’re walking up and down the sea front.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I think I agree with all that, but now train fans are saying the Caboose should face the other way to check behind the train and not the train itself. I'm confused!

[@smilinduck]

You can’t please them all. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Angrist17]

Very nice overall. Ornate windows on the body, train style on the door. Makes it look a little different and more door-like. Roof seems a little tall and short.Maybe 6 long instead of 4? Don't see a way to make it shorter though, unless you snot the windows.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Like all LEGO trains it's hard to get the proportions right on a six wide body and without going very long!

[@nickhenderson2683]

You built the caboose backwards in America the top of the caboose is to the front of the train and door on the end

Well I checked this before I filmed and BrickTsar had it this way. Also the red lights are on the back. Maybe you're right on the cupola but the original set was this way and they seem to vary a lot in pictures. Most are double ended!

[@scottlarson6011]

do the small windows on the top because it is supposed to be darker up there.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Good plan!

[@CommanderJoir]

The brake van looks awesome and the frosty glas gives it more of a classic look (it feels older). However, i would suggest to add buffer at the back of the brake van but without the magnet coupler for more awesomeness

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Weirdly I have an odd number of them. I'll add one to my wanted list!

[@thomasgilsfeldt9003]

Another excellent build, Rob 👌 I think I prefer the fish’n’chips sign in the back and the flag in the front, but otherwise agree with your thinking 👍

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, my first position was the right one!

[@AsapAnimation]

Looks great! I actually have the original set, and didn't know how much it's worth today

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Quite amazing isn't it!

[@mathewxie785]

The caboose is great! I think you should use the frosted windows and the black grill piece.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Check and check. Yes!

[@epicsx43]

The frosted windows add a nice effect, you should use them,

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, I agree!

I just noticed some of the cranes in the harbour could easily load or unload something onto the cargo train

[@RobinHoodBricks]

All in the master plan!

[@glup128]

Can't wait for fast food corner.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

It's no guarantee but it would be amazing!

James The Red Engine: Brakevans. I don't see why I need a brakevan at all, I never have accidents.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Sounds like famous last words to me!

[@Nicolas24-YouTube]

I like the black grid

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yes, me too!

[@MrStein-uf6xs]

a cool Train...... its cool

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Long equals cool in my book!

[@christianbrian6800]

you should have like a tec nec 1 by 1 on one side of the caboos and put a big brake wheel or something

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yeah, I need to look at some images, I can't picture it!

[@bricksection]

The frosted windows make it look like the cooking has frosted up the glass. You could also use that effect for another type of scene. I would. I like the fish/water sport signs the way you had them first. I missed seeing the window. Also. Anybody know where I can get some Real Fake Doors? I'm real tired of real doors cluttering up my house where I open them and I actually go somewhere and I go into another room.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Haha. Yes, I bought more windows than I needed for this so have only a few for something else steamy!

[@MrMe997]

Nice last train👍🏻

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Nice and bright!

[@Pernig]

Excellent! I wonder how easy it would be to get the chimney smoke to oscillate a few degrees via a Technic axle going through it.

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Haha, the powered concrete mixer car was hard enough!

[@Pernig]

@@RobinHoodBricks I had a little play and came up with this based on your cement mixer wagon chassis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIuadqhne72DbZI I'll have a bash at streamlining it, I'm sure it can be made more compact!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

@@Pernig It'll need to be a lot more compact to just turn the chimney smoke!

[@NedbLegocity]

A,Frosted... B. I realize it’s the last car in your consist, but I think your caboose would still have to be able to hook up a car behind it. Just my Tuppence. Excellent build overall!

[@RobinHoodBricks]

I need another magnet. The pair is on my TrainCam wagon!

[@lancehylau3253]

Hey robin, if you could have two couplers on the caboose it would be more realistic🙂👍🏻😄

[@RobinHoodBricks]

Yeah, I'm one short!

[@johngarrett7438]

Great work as usual robin.greetings from New Jersey.😀👍
