Lego Steam Locomotive working with compressed air !

[@LasseDeleuran]

This is absolutely amazing. One thing is to make a working "steam" engine, another is to make it work in such a nice package. Well done!

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

Wow thank you for your support !

[@LasseDeleuran]

@@NXTExiTeDFR Did you also see that you got featured on the Eurobricks front page? That's quite something!

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

@@LasseDeleuran Yeaaaa that's awesome, never thought I could get there ! they even consider to put it in the Hall of Fame page !

[@buzzygaming7667]

you should REALLY send this to lego ideas they could possibly make this a set we would all love that

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

Thanks a lot ! It's actually on Lego Ideas, you can vote here ideas.lego.com/projects/dc67d247-ee40-423b-8864-d468fa701e14

Would like it but no it doesn’t use standard gauge

[@buzzygaming7667]

@@Kertz_osterwald i didnt say it had to run on lego standard gauge

[@Kertz_osterwald]

Buzzy Gaming I mean like so u can use it for standard gauge cuz I have a lot of standard gauge tracks in home

[@michaelmorrell914]

Supported!

[@hedgehog3180]

This was actually used on real full scale locos too, look up "Fireless locomotive" if you wanna see examples of locomotives that functioned in a similar way. I think it's kinda interesting that you basically reinvented this concept :)

[@cadenthecadburyengine8198]

hedgehog3180 there are pneumatic locomotives too!

[@shirokumaotaku]

My City used to have a Andrew Barclay Fireless Locomotive at the Docks on display but a few years ago the Docks had a makeover & now the Train is gone 😭 I have no idea where it was moved to... I really miss seeing it everyday as it usually brought a smile to My Face

[@cadenthecadburyengine8198]

Shirokuma Otaku that sucks. Fireless locomotives were revolutionary!

[@shirokumaotaku]

@@cadenthecadburyengine8198 Sometimes I feel like asking the Waterways Museum if they know where the train was moved to but I feel like either they won't know or they won't be able to tell me because it's probably private information

[@cadenthecadburyengine8198]

Shirokuma Otaku ah. That sucks

[@LegoPrime1225]

Just imagine doing this to every famous steam locomotive that has ever excited 😁

[@bootlegbrethren2961]

If this was purple and black, I would ask if he could get everyone to cybertron or not. But that is one of the most beautiful and incredibly complex train I have ever seen

[@morganrobinson8042]

This is a great use of the pneumatic system. Lego always underutilized it's potential, even though technic has been toying with it's potential for almost as long as it's existed.

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

I believe Lego could still diversify the Lego Technic sets it proposes. It's basically centered on cars and work vehicles, but I think there are some other interesting things to try ;)

[@tyfon4429]

Okay. I am into Star Wars Lego, but what you made here ? Chapeau 💫. That’s the finest of Art.

[@theredstonereed3274]

It would be a crime for LEGO to give this the thumbs down, especially since it's been waiting on the platform for 2 years now

[@comet_crash]

Any chance we could get a video of it running without the music? I'd love to hear what it actually sounds like.

[@SamanMarashi]

U should check out his more recent update video. There you have the sound of the train!

[@Annuld]

People would KILL to have that! Its so cool!

[@d261_gaming8]

The world needs more of this model and I don't mean looking at it I mean we need MORE TRAIN

[@ankanmunakokkeli9255]

Beautiful design with well working mechanisms

[@TobiasRieperGER]

This is crazy. Looks good and works... Good Job!

[@robertbalazslorincz8218]

Out of any locomotive possible, a French one. Absolute TOPS.

[@kentslocum]

This is amazing! I can't say anything else, because I'm speechless.

[@SamanMarashi]

wow i cannot stop watching this masterpiece! You are a genius bravooooooooooo

[@cadetkohr5508]

Try adding flanges so It could run and actual rails! I think it would be cool to see it pulling some cars around a track.

[@kingryden7752]

that would be sick.

[@bakedpotatooftheworld2054]

lego has always been limiting in the ways of design but this model surpasses my upmost expectations!

[@FQP-7024]

It is the most beautiful locomotive I have seen to be built out of Lego but yet...it is so large I see it dose not fit on conventional lego tracks. But all the points go to the function and the creativity the design is of course one of the German rail old steam locos and I have to just say well done,... Well done

[@maryamai5372]

absolutely stunning Wow

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

Thank you so much ! :)

[@mattygroenhopper]

Really nicely done, It is on the larger side which mean a lot more detail, sadly probably also a lot less "playable" for becoming an Idea's set. You have my support nonetheless.👍 (In case you are bored, I also have 2 iterations of pneumatic locomotives. The only non Lego bits in those are a drop of oil and a car tire pump)

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

Thanks for the support ! Yeah I know your pneumatic locomotives, they kinda showed me it's possible to make it pneumatic, so thanks. Of course it is less fast and more heavy so less playable, but I hope the side functions bring back some fun ;)

[@official_julianvandermade]

I supported it on lego ideas very cool defintly going to buy it when it comes out (im working with pneumatics in real life) and it is very interesting, you can learn a lot from it.

[@Ellectrica]

This model is AWSOME! May you should also try to get into contact with CaDA. Bruno Jenson made a great deal with CaDA with the Italian Super Car C61042W. By CaDA your set will be exactly like your creation. Your MOC is so wonderful, I would love to buy it.

[@Dynamic_Flyer]

Clever - good job!

[@SarmadHassan]

10/10 build Here’s an idea: can you add an electric compressor system in the coal car? It’ll run on battery then, but won’t lose the pneumatic charm Also, can a walschaerts valve gear be put into it? Then it’ll be remote-controlled with a lego servo

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Great video thanks very much

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

[@you2square]

this is like a pneumatic steam locomotive

[@user-nk1gu7ls6r]

"Yes, It is real lego train"

[@michaelbenoit248]

This is so cool! Now make it run on real lego tracks & pull cars. On the next version can you make it spin the wheels faster & make it look cooler?

[@macgyveratlarge2133]

Man, I hate to be the critic, but to get this thing to operate better, you need to make some sort of crosshead, and attach the driving rod to the second driver. After further review, this might not be possible. I love this little loco, and I love what you do with these little things that kids call toys. I'd love it if you were to be a professor in a college classroom. The engineers and designers you would turn out would be top notch!

[@blankmans8908]

Should add a motorized air compressor but as a car that attaches

[@enjoythesiren911]

This is absolutely amazing, when I saw this I was absolutely speechless I’m a good builder, but I could never do this! Keep up the good work!

Oscillating cylinders? Simple, but clever. Very prone to making me swear however.

[@SamanMarashi]

wow!! Its amazinggg! :O

You would need a valve gear to turn the direction of the steam engine such as reverse and forward

[@isabelleblot6099]

Amazing !!

[@captainwafflezs4799]

Brilliant

[@sterlingbrummer2413]

You should make it so when you pump it up, the train can then pump it's self up with its own air and keep going

Only now did I realise just how large it is

[@Giraffiti]

I’ve always wanted to do something like this but in 7/8 stud wide scale with the small pneumatic cylinders.

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

Here it's more like 11 studs, but 7/8 might be possible, it's just that small pneumatic cylinders are really not powerful, you better have 4 of them !

[@shakirahawkins8671]

Do you think theirs a way to set up a Lego motor in the tender to compress air by moving something. then maybe hooking up a receiver to the motor to try to control the speed

[@NXTExiTeDFR]

That's what some people suggest for the pumping of air yeah, it's possible, I may try that sooner or later. For controling the whole train with motors+receivers tho I don't think we have enough place and personnaly I prefer to control it manually (like a real train, you feel like the engineer of the locomotive ^^).
